There was no mention of a weapon before the two men tried to stop him.
Sometimes its better to let crazy alone.
It sounds like this guy has a history of ranting and making a spectacle of himself at rallies and marches in Portland. I read another article that Trump supporters previously reported him to police and thought he was an agent provocateur.
I don't know Oregon law but I was taught in Texas force is not justified in response to speech alone. The WaPo article doesn't have enough details to know if the three men tried to shut him up by force and he defended himself. I think if he was the physical aggressor toward the three men, the press would be sure to say that. I think if he physically assaulted the women, the press would be sure to say that. I don't know what happened on that train and hope there is video that shows the actual events.
