Andy Ngo is a journalist who writes for National Review, Spectator USA and Quillette. Among other things, he has documented violence perpetrated by the fascist group Antifa. Yesterday Ngo was covering an Antifa demonstration in Portland when he was set upon and beaten up by around 20 masked thugs.
Toby Young has the story:
In the attack, Andy received cuts and bruises to his face and head, including a torn earlobe, and had thousands of dollars worth of camera equipment smashed or stolen. He was taken to the local hospital, where it was discovered he had a small bleed to his brain and, as a result, he was kept in overnight.
Michelle Malkin has set up a Go Fund Me page to pay Ngo’s medical bills and buy new camera equipment. The fact that it has already raised over $100,000 reflects the degree of public outrage at Antifa.
Toby Young adds:
The protest in Portland last night was billed by the organizers as ‘milkshake themed’ and one of the most sinister aspects of the attack is that milkshakes thrown at the event contained quick-drying cement, a chemical substance that can cause serious harm, including severe burns.
At The American Conservative, Rod Dreher writes:
One gets the impression that Antifa rules Portland with the same impunity that the Ku Klux Klan ruled Birmingham in the 1960s. Do they actually have police in Portland? Do they have functioning government there?
Apparently not.
If there is a prominent Democrat who has criticized Antifa, I am not aware of it. That would be a good question for the next presidential debate. Worse, some Democrats have actually endorsed the fascist group, like Keith Ellison, the Attorney General of Minnesota:

This guy must be mistaken. Only right-wingers are violent. The media has told us so.
I think it’s getting close to breaking loose...
It is a dangerous time to be a journalism in America.
Jim Acosta was right. /S
Again?
Dang, that guy has been attacked about six times today.
I hope he’s not badly hurt.
CNN: Right Wing folks dressed in Antifa or whatever they are to confuse the media.
Another bumblebummer joke, tee hee
“Milkshake themed”
It wasn’t about making someone uncomfortable.
These aren’t bright kids.
These are kids who live in Mom’s basement.
They’ve never poured a driveway.
They were using quick drying cement.
They thought the cement would dry and they would be throwing head busters.
They meant to maim and kill, not make somebody uncomfortable.
They thought they’d be real cute standing there holding a milkshake cup that they were going to use to brain someone.
Hugo Boss is awaiting a new set of orders.
The militia & protesters in Salem were peaceful.
Carlos Maza, of VOX, recommends “milkshake” attacks ... is he Antifa too?
Well, he has a brain injury, so...
As the mother of a daughter who sustained one 10 years ago, I can tell you it’s life-changing. And not in a good way.

The Marxists are still yammering about Charleston 2 years ago.
Gonna need hundreds of patriots to video record their crimes and hundreds of patriots to follow them home and doxx them.
“I think it’s getting close to breaking loose...”
I think you’re right.
They need to be slammed into the concrete immediately and taken to the hospital with broken bones.
Put them up against the Proud Boys.
They are going to attack the wrong guy or gal one of these days, and somebody (or somebodies) is (are) going to to get SHOT DEAD.
