Update on Victims who were killed by Racist

Banks, Oregon
May 27, 2017 8:51pm CST
Reading about the lives of the two killed and one seriously injured makes my heart hurt, such brave people to stand up to a psychotic nutcase, one of the Men who died is a Army veteran, the other a young man just starting his life, the other a young man who is still seriously injured who has fought injustice before. One of the Men killed looks very familiar to me, I may have saw him before on the max train, as I have rode on the same one these men were attacked on. Prayers going out to the family.
Ricky Best, 53, and Taliesin Namkai-Meche, 23 were killed when they tried to stop a man hurling abuse at two women of Muslim appearance, police said.

I'm glad you weren't one of those victims. It's just horrible that some people tend to do horrible things on the train.

Such a sad mess. I've been on one of the Portland trains, too. Folks can be so nasty. This political not a leader situation is just making it too easy to harm others.

That is just so sad. I hope I would stand up to anyone spewing that kind of abuse. The world is scary sometimes.

Its an act of violation of human rights and it's very wrong for anyone to treat anyone of any religion like they are less human.

The soulless terrorist, and yes I label him a terrorist, who did this should be put down like a rabid animal, and buried in an unmarked grave at the dump.

This types of inhuman slain is propagating day by day ... Don't know while this would stop and when people realise the fact that "beauty lies in the skin deep" ... Eagerly waiting for the particular day..
