Seeing the Portland attack in my neighborhood make the national news is a mindfuck. It's gutting to have it so close to home.

I'm trying to focus on how bystanders stood up to the killer and refused to stand by and ignore his racist hate. But people died, man.
-
There were more good people than bad, but still, two good men died and the killer is still alive. How am I supposed to feel about that?
-
I'm grateful to live in a city where white male allies are risking their necks for their neighbors. But these deaths break my heart.
-
It's so unfair. It's so unfair and wrong, and the world is now a worse place because two good men died.

Oregon is sometimes a scary place to live when you're a POC. My stomach drops when I see a confederate flag, I feel sick when I see red hats
-
Nonetheless every day I feel like most of the people here are good people, and what happened on MAX reaffirms that belief, cheesy as it is
-
The idea that two good people paid the ultimate price just for being decent and righteous is overwhelming.
-
I don't know how to express in words the impact this attack has on me, or the awe and respect and heartbreak I feel for their sacrifice.
-
The knowledge that one violent racist can do this much harm despite being outnumbered is terrifying to me.
-
I want goodness and justice to win. In the Portland attacks, injustice triumphed over decency. I'm shaken.
