One of the consequences of "saying whatever you want" is that other people might object. You don't get to stab them for standing up to your bullshit.

"Smith said it was Christian’s belief that free speech means he can 'say whatever he wants,' even if it includes racial slurs and death threats against certain members of a religion."

There are going to be a massive amount of people who will cry free speech and that "when things become physical you have a right too blah blah blah"...
These people are cowards. They've never faced adversity. They've never been punished for their actions properly in life. They're those kids when you are little that throw rocks at a hornet's nest and then run or cry when they get stung. It has and always will be a tactic of white supremacists to play the victim, which in turn justifies their "self defense" and is designed to make you scared to stand up. Even his "ready to smash Portland's fairytale of a hate crime" statement is supposed to make you afraid of guys like him. Don't be. He killed two heroes and wounded a third. Trimet has a responsibility to keep it's riders safe and Jeremy Christian was riding without a ticket and a trimet exclusion, as court records will show, at the time of the murders. If trimet won't keep us safe from people like Jeremy Christian, white supremacists or not, we need to look out for each other. Don't be afraid to say something or at least contact the driver immediately when you notice something.
