Article snippet: Former Secretary of State stabbed to death by a white supremacist in Portland, Oregon, when they tried to stop the man's racist tirade. "Heartbreaking. No one should have to endure this racist abuse," Clinton tweeted Saturday night. "No one should have to give their life to stop it." Police arrested 35-year-old Jeremy Joseph Christian early Saturday morning after he allegedly stabbed three men who tried to stop him from berating two Muslim women on a Portland MAX train. Two of the men died, while a third received injuries that were not life-threatening. "In the midst of his ranting and raving, some people approached him and appeared to try to intervene with his behavior and some of the people that he was yelling at," Portland police spokesman Sgt. Pete Simpson said. "They were attacked viciously." The Muslim holy month of Ramadan began on Friday at sundown.
