Portland Antifa can claim total victory against Andy Ngo
American Thinker ^ | 16 Nov, 2022 | Andrea Widburg

Posted on 11/17/2022 5:54:23 AM PST by MtnClimber

Not only did the judge give a pass to an Antifa activist, but he also scolded Ngo for reporting on Antifa activities.

Superman had to deal with Bizarro World, a place in which everything is backward and evil is ascendant, and Andy Ngo has to contend with Portland, which pretty much seems to be the same. The latest travesty is that, after the judge heard Andy Ngo’s case against an Antifa activist whom Ngo filmed throwing a liquid at him and grabbing his phone, the judge not only gave the activist a pass, but the judge also scolded Ngo for daring to report Antifa activities.

Most people who followed Antifa’s activities in Portland, whether leftists or conservatives, are familiar with Andy Ngo. At great risk to himself, he reported what the Antifa gang was doing, whether silencing conservative speech, going to war against the city, state, and federal government in Portland, or physically attacking conservatives, including Ngo himself. In every case, Ngo has always had the video to prove that these attacks were real.

In May 2019, Ngo filmed John Hacker, an Antifa member, who throw a liquid at Ngo, threatened Ngo’s property, and then seized that property, returning it only when gym members implored him to do so:

The encounter at the gym was recorded by Ngo on his cell phone more than three years ago, and was finally played in court. The shaky video is less than 30 seconds long, but prosecutors say it’s a key piece of evidence showing Hacker approaching Ngo, grabbing the device, and yelling, ”I will break your f*cking phone.”

My daughter and family lived in Portland for two years not long ago. It truly deserves the “Keep Portland Weird” motto. It is beautiful territory but is inhabited by complete leftist nutjobs. Driving on some of their expressways reminded me of those kinds of bridge structures and road constructions of the 60s and 70s.

Bums, strippers, leftist and homeless all over the place in downtown proper. Amidst all that, business tries to prosper but many are leaving. Then you have the nutjobs who don’t want to pay rent or buy a place and they build “Tiny” homes and find places to park them for nothing or next to nothing.

It really is the place where young people go to retire.

Maybe the best way would be to blockade Portland.

Block the roads. No more fascist wholesale deliveries to supermarkets.

Poor guy is obviously a victim of oppressive capitalism — it forced him to eat too much of its abundant food and use it’s wondrous technological gifts. He’d be far better off starving under Stalinism.

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Defines a Vogon as follows...
“ Here is what to do if you want to get a lift from a Vogon: forget it. They are one of the most unpleasant races in the Galaxy. Not actually evil, but bad-tempered, bureaucratic, officious and callous. They wouldn’t even lift a finger to save their own grandmothers from the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal without orders – signed in triplicate, sent in, sent back, queried, lost, found, subjected to public inquiry, lost again, and finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighters. The best way to get a drink out of a Vogon is to stick your finger down his throat, and the best way to irritate him is to feed his grandmother to the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal. On no account should you allow a Vogon to read poetry at you.”

They are a race of artless, bureaucratic aliens from The Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy. Their main form of art, poetry,is so bad that it is used as a form of torture.

No wonder eastern Oregon wanted to become a part of Idaho.

I’ve stated it prior among others:

In the absence judicial remedy, we need a return to street justice (tar & feather, rubber hose treatment, etc.).

Many of us may fall squarely in the ‘etc.’ category, and I’m not just referencing antifa...

I have been to Portland, OR a couple of times. It was cool and edgy. I went to Voodoo doughnuts. I went to the Veleteria. But now it has gone over the edge. It cannot be saved. The best that can come of it now is to be an example for the rest of the country. Let it burn.

Don’t the Vogons correct their physical deficiencies surgically, like some other people running around these days?

I think the FBI should investigate who is funding Antifa. Someone is obviously doing so.

I like Andy, but this “case” was a huge ball of air.

This is not how men should behave.

This Judge unaware that he triggered the Streisand Effect upon himself for 1) failing to carry out justice and 2) making a ridiculous screech against social media.

"seems like he has a case against the judge."

Yes, something is way off.

Ngo is a brave journalist.

He doesn't deserve the way he has been treated.

To: MtnClimber; All
Thanks for referencing that article MtnClimber.

The problem with analyzing such articles is that many times the authors of the articles leave out important due process details imo, probably because they have never been taught the Constitution's division of federal and state government powers.

For example, if the judge was a state judge, then does Mr. Ngo understand that he might have a 14th Amendment case (...the judge...the judge...the judge...)?

"14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws [emphases added]."

After all, even people in California win 14th Amendment cases.

UC Berkeley settles landmark free speech lawsuit, will pay $70,000 to conservative group (12.4.18)

Or if the judge was a federal judge, then since domestic violence is a state power concern under the Constitution's Article IV, Section 4 (4.4), then why is this case under federal jurisdiction?

"Article IV, Section 4: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence [emphases added]."

In fact, Justice Joseph Story had noted that the delegates to the Constitutional Convention had made 4.4 to help prevent the untrusted federal government from dreaming up any excuse to stick its big nose (my words) into the affairs of the sovereign states.

”§ 1819. It may not be amiss further to observe, (in the language of another commentator,) that every pretext for intermeddling with the domestic concerns of any state, under colour of protecting it against domestic violence, is taken away by that part of the provision, which renders an application from the legislature, or executive authority of the state endangered necessary to be made to the general government, before its interference can be at all proper [emphasis added]. On the other hand, this article becomes an immense acquisition of strength, and additional force to the aid of any state government, in case of an internal rebellion, or insurrection against its authority. The southern states, being more peculiarly open to danger from this quarter, ought (he adds) to be particularly tenacious of a constitution, from which they may derive such assistance in the most critical periods.” —Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution, Article 4, Section 4.

Mr. Ngo probably needs to start reading Free Republic.
