White supremacist removed from court after shouting 'I should've killed you b****' at black woman he assaulted

‘When you die and go to hell, I hope you rot’

A white supremacist was hauled out of court after screaming “I should’ve killed you b****” at a black woman he assaulted.

The man, Jeremy Christian, was on trial for stabbing two men to death who tried to stop him from attacking two black women on a train.

The attack took place in 2017. Demetria Hester, the woman Christian yelled at in court, had been harassed and attacked by him the day before his double murder.

The outbreak occurred when Ms Hester was giving testimony about the day of the attack. She claimed that the responding officer gave Christian special treatment.

“In my case, the white supremacist got special treatment from the police. [The cop] didn’t believe me or the two TriMet supervisors,” she said.

Ms Hester claimed the officer refused to stop Christian from leaving the scene.

“He refused to detain the assailant and he let him walk away knowing who he was,” she said. “The officer asked me for my ID and treated me like I was the assailant because of my colour.”

Then Ms Hester turned her attention towards Christian.

“When you die and go to hell, I hope you rot,” she said.

That prompted a explosive rebuttal from Christian, who tore off his court-mandated face mask and yelled “I should’ve killed you, b****.”

After being removed from the court for his outburst, the Multnomah County Circuit Court Judge Cheryl Albrecht said that he “has forfeited” his right to be present for his sentencing hearing.

Christian was associated with far-right organisation Patriot Prayer and spoke at one of the group’s events. A photo from the event shows Christian giving a Nazi salute while draped in an American flag and armed with a baseball bat.

Patriot Prayer travels around the Pacific Northwest attending liberal events with the intention of starting street brawls. The Southern Poverty Law Centre refers to the group as “violent extremists”.

Christian’s social media posts are full of complaints that the world around him is trying to limit his free speech. During the trial, Christian justified his murders by claiming the men who tried to stop him from verbally assaulting and threatening two black women were trying to suppress his right to free speech.

“There’s no way I can explain what happened. Except both of those people would be alive if they’d kept their hands to themselves. Or got off the train or allowed me to have my free speech,” Christian said.
