Journalist Andy Ngo was chased, beaten, and chased again when he burst into a downtown Portland, Ore., hotel in May 2021 to get away from his black-bloc-clad Antifa attackers. “They’re trying to kill me,” he told the understandably frightened hotel workers. It wasn’t the first time he’d been attacked by the notorious Portland terrorist gang. If Portland’s criminal justice system wouldn’t stop these guys, Ngo figured, he’d sue them for $1 million.
On Tuesday, a Portland jury decided that two key alleged Antifa conspirators whose cases went to trial were not civilly liable for Ngo’s injuries, both physical and otherwise. The trial was marred by intimidation tactics — not just from the attackers but from their attorney who declared to the unidentified jury members, “I am Antifa” and “I will remember each one of your faces.” We’re talking Godfather stuff here.
Before you dismiss this as “Hey, you signed up for this, Portland, you voted in these knuckleheads who gave Antifa a wide berth,” let’s consider what this case means.
I sat in a Multnomah County courtroom in the trial of another journalist who was beaten by Antifa members and who pulled a pistol to fend off a second attack in 2016. Not a shot was fired, the second attack was thwarted, and instead of prosecuting his attackers, woke politicians went after Mike Strickland for showing his gun. He went to jail. His attackers were never pursued. In fact, they were never identified in court or by any of the undercover cops that had infiltrated the protest crowd that day.
The cops didn’t bother to help Strickland, either. While in the courtroom at his trial, I was threatened by Antifa allies. I also later received death threats that the Portland Police dismissed as no big deal.

I expect a nationwide increase in ANTIFA and BLM incidents as the 2024 election nears.
Can the Bar Association there do anything about those ALLEGED threats?
Antifa is just the modern day KKK. Both democrat terrorist organizations composed of spineless cowards hiding behind masks. Both of them only able to exist because “mainstream” Democrats willfully ignore and protect them from repercussions.
If and when Trump wins, I predict the past Antifa/BLM riots will look like a Summer of Love in comparison to what will occur in 2025.
But with the embittered Merrick Garland in charge, he will probably go after Andy Ngo.
Law and order has collapsed in society and this is willfully enabled by the progressive left, which has captured all institutions, including the Bar.
Next time ,just exterminate them. “Try that in my small town”
I cannot believe these people are still alive.
I moved from Portland back to Montana (grew up here) last summer and was just there in June for my daughter’s graduation. It’s such a failed city and actually was a great place to live 10 years ago before 100% mail-in elections ensured Democrats in Multnomah County always finding enough votes to win.
Republicans don’t even make the ballot in the city’s mayoral races. It’s Far Left versus Further Left.
Antifa and blm are both Government Entities, they are organized and ran out of the DOJ. All the ranking leaders are the children of government employee’s. What did you expect would happen?
The jury found John Colin Hacker and Elizabeth Renee Richter not civilly liable for the attacks, even though video evidence shows them pursuing Ngo with Richter chasing Ngo into the hotel before she was ordered out screeching, “I can’t wait for you to come out, Andy!” She’s heard and seen on video saying “You thought the milkshakes were bad last time? We are going to beat the f*ck out of you b*tch.”
It would be a shame if someone beat these people into a lifetime wheel chair.
2025, 2026, 2027 and 2028
ANTIFA are police protected Brown Shirts.
Yep, stock up on "provisions" before the rush, the price hikes and the eventual shortages.
“I expect a nationwide increase in ANTIFA and BLM incidents as the 2024 election nears.”
Only if they have become the violent arm of Fascist tactics......
Like the Brownshirts in the 1930’s.
I have to give the Democrats a little bit of credit, they so wanted not to be identified for what they are they called themselves “ANTIFA” for Anti-Fascists. When it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, swims like a duck, acts like a duck, and has feathers....it’s probably a duck. The duck calling itself a Eagle doesn’t change what it is.
Communists do not allow other parties to participate in elections whether by us of the law or the barrel of a gun, basic Marxism 101.
I can’t believe a judge would allow such thuggish behavior in their courtroom. When I served on multiple juries the judge went out of his way to protect the juries from anything he deemed hostile in or outside the courtroom. I sat on a murder trial and the defendant clearly through facial and body language tried to intimidate the women on the jury. In fact as soon as deliberations began all the women commented on it and in this case instead of playing the victim it pissed them off to no end. When the verdict was read the judge locked down the courtroom and had each member of the jury escorted to their vehicles by deputies before allowing any defendant family or friend out of the courtroom.
Portland and a slew of large Democrats cities have made their beds. It’s now time to climb into that debacle of their own making...
Antifa, blm, democrat party, fascists. What’s the difference?
