Jeremy Joseph Christian may have acted alone, but his violent racism had company online.

On a train in Portland, Oregon, Friday, Christian allegedly targeted two women , one of whom was wearing a hijab, with anti-Muslim slurs. When bystanders tried to intervene, Christian stabbed three people, according to police. Two died, and the third victim is expected to survive.

But long before the incident on the train, Christian said he was ready to kill in the name of white supremacy. A deep dive into his social media shows a man who found comfort in violent and often fake news sites and memes including anti-Muslim and other racist rhetoric.

He regularly shared anti-Muslim and anti-Semitic content.

In March 2016, Christian shared a fake news article showing Hillary Clinton in a Hijab claiming she was in the pocket of Pakistani Muslims.

Ill knock that Hijab off her faster than you can say Burka in Pig Latin if she steps in Rip City, he wrote.
