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.

US ANTIFA model themselves after the German ANTIFA which were the Communist Party street thugs who battled the NAZI Brownshirts because they were fascists and therefore not far enough left. They were both bad, but the Brownshirts could get away with more because they were aligned with the winning party. So the US ANTIFA are communists, not fascists.
Needed: trial venue reform to ensure unbiased courts and juries. After Texas restricted Austin trial venues, legal jihads by rogue leftist Austin prosecutors declined.

Are we headed to another Civil War? I personally
think it is much more than that. We are being
invaded by foreigners and nothing is being done
is being done about that.
I can't blame the people for wanting to come here
for a better life. But a lot of work isn't of the manual
labor type now. It is more toward the intellectual and
mechanical side now.
100% correct. Historically leftist, continue to be leftist.
Buy weapons and ammo, folks.

If we donate to the legal defense funds of conservative victims of leftist judicial terror, maybe it won’t get to the point when we are shooting at mobs attacking our houses.
At this point the Bar is a wholly owned subsidiary of WEF/DNC.
Is this being reported in the Portland media and how are Portlanders responding?
I would think even some lefties might be able to see that what has happened here is not okay (as they say).
BTW, the MSM says Antifa does’t exist. Does that mean the defense lawyer is nuts?
The judge is probably a recruiter for Antifa, but doesn't mention that so as to appear impartial. ;-)
You have to give them credit for standing together and standing up for their brothers. This is why DOJ and the neo-nazis running the alphabets can run all over and terrorize conservatives.

He needs to file an appeal for a new trial based on implied threats to the jury. Then, he needs to file for a change in venue.
Perfect description. I used to walk around Portland alone. It was clean, safe.
And I worked Oregon Mail in voting. Worse than you know.
Just sayin’…
“So the US ANTIFA are communists, not fascists.“
Those are just words, communists and fascists. When you look at their actions and goals they are Fascists. When you look at who they support, Joe Biden and the Democrats, it’s Fascists. They are indistinguishable from the brown shirts, and have not seen them live by a single communist principle. How many ANTIFA actually work? Those that do work, how many give their income and possessions to the others? When does ANTIFA rebuild community things like parks? They cling to NO real communist ideals of serving the state only, not having individual rights, and evenly distributed incomes/property.
ANTIFA are by their actions, not words, FASCISTS. They act like fascists, they support fascists in government, and they attack those who go against fascists. They congregate in areas wherein big corporations, working hand in hand with government, suppress freedoms—like Portland, San Francisco, Seattle.
Just from a thought point of view, where in the world does a true communist state exist? (Like the joke they will get it right next time). Communism has completely failed, what it has morphed into more resembles 1930’s Germany than anything else. Saying you’re ANTFA, then acting like and clinging to Fascists, makes you a hypocrite fascist, not communist.
Finally, who started ANTIFA, like who bankrolled and rebooted them? That’s right it’s George Soros. George Soros isn’t communist, he didn’t get rich being communist, he didn’t get his start being communist. He had “the best year of his life” (his words not mine) rounding up Jews, stealing everything they had, and sending them to concentration camps while ‘working with’ the NAZI’s. Modern ANTIFA was defined by its bankroller founder, its actions, its political activities, its violence, its threats, and complete lack of ‘true’ communist principles. I will add one more thing, they are currently bankrolled via China according to the US government. China ceased ‘Communism’ went it absorbed Hong Kong’s economic model 25 years ago. From an operational standpoint, China says they are communist, but operate like a Fascist state.
If modern ANTIFA wants a real name, not historic, that matches what the do, it’s ANTIREP, for anti-Republic or ANTICON, for anti-Constitutional. That’s ‘what they do’. Please enlighten me if you disagree or have better information.
