A Portland bookstore announced on Monday that it will not sell journalist Andy Ngo's new book on its shelves after the local retail chain faced pressure by leftist protests.

Powell's Books had been facing backlash ahead of the February release of "Unmasked: Inside Antifa's Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy," causing its flagship store to close early on Monday as a "safety precaution," according to the local TV affiliate KOIN.

Go to local book store and pay cash.

[dragonblustar]

I did.

[EmilyGeiger]

I will be buying it.

That’s probably still not enough from keeping Antifa and BLM from burning the store down.

[alexander_busek]

I will never, ever buy another book from Powell’s unless they change and sell Ngo’s “Unmasked” period!! I will tell my family and they won’t either. I will tell my friends and they won’t either. If enough of us do this, Powell will either sell it or go under.

THIS is the proper response!

If I lived in Portland, I would consider picketing them with signs proclaiming, "This bookstore does not believe in Free Speech."

That’s what I was thinking, if they sell the book their store gets fire bombed or looted and no one is arrested then what choice do they have, it’s easy to stand on principle when it’s not your business

First- no Amazon!
Secondly, Andy Ngo mislead people https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/washington-secrets/expert-andy-ngo-it-wasnt-antifa-at-the-capitol-riots

Powell's is a great new/used bookstore. This is too bad.

They have become political. Shame on them.

What about eBay? I closed my Amazon buyer and seller accounts.

[doug from upland]

Amazon is the enemy.

I never imagined our country going in the direction it is going...

Is he selling it on any other site but Amazon? I don’t want Amazon getting a cut but if that is the only site and have no other choice I’ll buy it.

[Savage Rider]

Powell’s loss. For now, Amazon is selling it, and if they change their minds some other money hungry source will sell it.

[DoughtyOne]

I watched the opening remarks from the Impeachment
proceedings. Wow some of those folks are grans master
liars.

[JBW1949]

No...I have been paying attention...Did you honestly think our country would go where it is this FAST???????

[Left2Right]

Order from Commizon, read it, then return it! Anything to drive up their cost to do business!

[JBW1949]

I’m 72 years old and sure didn’t expect this fast considering how things have been the last 50 years...

[ClearCase_guy]

I’m 60, and I agree with you.

Clinton was bad. Obama was bad. Anyone could see what direction we were moving. But the country was still sane enough to put Donald Trump in the White House in 2016. I saw that as a good sign that there was still hope.

And we fell off a cliff.

The whole government conspired against him for 4 years. Both parties. And now, with the 2020 election fiasco, here we are in Stalinist Russia.

What the heck happened???

[JBW1949]

Exactly...
