Antifa Mob Viciously Assaults Journalist Andy Ngo at Portland Rally
Reason ^ | 29 June 2019 | Robby Soave

Andy Ngo, a photojournalist and editor at Quillette, landed in the emergency room after a mob of antifa activists attacked him on the streets of Portland during a Saturday afternoon demonstration.

The assailants wore black clothing and masks, and were engaged in a counter-protest against several right-wing groups, including the Proud Boys. Ngo is a well-known chronicler of antifa activity, and has criticized their illiberal tactics on Fox News. He attended the protest in this capacity—as a journalist, covering a notable public event.

According to Ngo, his attacker stole his camera equipment. But video footage recorded by another journalist, The Oregonian's Jim Ryan, clearly shows an antifa activist punching Ngo in the face. Others throw milkshakes at him:

...

Portland police have claimed that some of the milkshakes thrown by the antifa activists on Saturday contained quick-dry cement. That may or may not be true. What is true is that an antifa mob beat up a journalist—one who is harshly critical of them, to be sure, but who posed no physical threat to them and was only there to document their activities—on a public street. This is indefensible, and yet there are tons of progressive-leaning people currently defending it, or at the very least rationalizing and making light of it.

Antifa is nothing but a bunch of thugs misanthropes, spouting political nonsense. Ignorant but dangerous if not leashed. Or punished.

Yep, normally an all white group assaulting a gay Asian on camera is interesting to them. Truly, party trumps everything to these a-holes.

Antifa is the SocialDemocrat militia and direct successor to the KKK.

It is all Us and Them. Ideology is incidental and is no more than a tool to gain total power.

While capitalist hero Trump, undertakes an historic peace meeting with a communist dictator, the US communist pigs beat up a journalist.

For anyone still watching Fox, they have a story about a 2lb1oz sunfish caught off coast of NC, but nothing on this story.

Fox is the enemy.

These scumbags are the rats’ brown shirts. They should be indicted as a group under RICO, rounded up and put in prison.

What is it making these young people so angry? Leading them to public violence?

The cameras & YouTube? Unfulfilled lives? Searching for meaning? Plain stupidity? What?

...and I expect nothing will happen to these antifa terrorists. They are protected by the criminals in government.
