    Mayor Ted Wheeler said Monday that the community is sad and angry, and the rallies are inappropriate and could be dangerous. He says his main concern is participants are “coming to pedal a message of hatred.”

    Wheeler said the three men who intervened on the train Friday were willing to give their lives to stand up for people they didn’t know.

    He says he hopes their actions inspire “changes in the political dialogue in this country” and that people put aside their hate and honor the victims.

    Hurrah for the Mayor! Trumpf’s message of hate has opened Pandora’s box of violence within America. Hate crimes by alt white supremacists and neo nazis are UP in every state, as well as attacks against Jews, Jewish property and journalists. He’s made America hate again. Feh.
