Apparently the suspect is well-known in the Portland area for his political views. It is unfortunate that the men who intervened were not armed.

Guy appears to be a Bernie-bro:

Atleast this week. People have pointed out elsewhere that he also rants about zionism, approves of desth camps, but is also pro-refugee. I'm leaning toward the guy being schizophrenic.

So this crazy sicko was ranting and raving, spewing trash - the story doesn't indicate he pulled the knife until someone intervened. So - when the "good samaritans" intervened, did they verbally challenge him, prompting an immediate murderous response, or did they lay hands on him before he pulled the knife? In which case, I can see a shyster making a self defense claim. (Or trying to.)
If the former, the guy should fry; if the latter . . . it shows the dangers of physical confrontation with a lunatic when you're not a trained & equipped LEO with backup.

It also shows just how dangerous/deadly a knife is. Maybe that will clue some people in about why cops often shoot bad guys wtih knifes.

Oh, we know why they do that. It's because they're racists:

Follow up articles say that the perpetrator slashed the throats of all three victims; two of them bled out from the carotid and the third only made it because a veteran applied direct pressure to the wound until EMS arrived.
