| Andy Ngo speaks out after losing civil suit against Rose City Antifa: 'I didn't receive justice' | |
| 2023-08-14 | |
| [FoxNews] A jury in Multnomah County, Oregon, found Portland activists John Hacker and Elizabeth Richter not liable for assault, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress for their alleged attack on journalist Andy Ngo, according to a press release from The Center for American Liberty, the organization representing Ngo. Ngo and his attorney Eric Sell joined "The Ingraham Angle" to respond.
The verdict sends a dangerous message to violent extremist groups: no one will stop you from your violent and wrongful activities. While this verdict is disappointing, Ngo won a settlement with one of the other defendants in the case and obtained default of three defendants who failed to show up for court. This is not the end of Ngo’s battle for justice after years of suffering at the hands of Antifa members, and it’s certainly not the end of Ngo’s brave reporting on the activities of this violent, extremist movement. | |

| #11 #7 I'm rather taken aback by that. So are we to discount his "narrative" that is rather well documented by video? What exactly are you saying? |

| #10 Oh, yeah. When everyone is resigned to the idea there's no justice to be had in the "system," look out below. |

| #9 Folks, forget it. It's Oregon. Even Ngo's attorneys aren't sure what the next step is because there really isn't one. SCOTUS? LMAO - won't even get close. Breathe in deeply cuz this awaits us all. |

| #7 Mr. Ngo was plain vanilla left of center until he went into town to see what the Antifa protests were all about. He only became conservative after they repeatedly physically attacked him, as I recall the progression. |

| #6 This is how the left in Portland see Ngo as described in the Portland Mercury. It portrays Ngo as: "Ngo's antics have landed him on the Southern Poverty Law Center's Hatewatch lists, which describes him thusly: "What Ngo has portrayed as his journalistic work largely consists of publishing anti-antifa, Islamophobic and transphobic tweets and articles to his sizable Twitter following, along with disseminating the arrest records and personal details of left-wing demonstrators." Read the whole article to see how wide the cultural/political gap has become. https://www.portlandmercury.com/news/2023/08/09/46651345/jury-rules-against-andy-ngo-in-activist-lawsuit |

| #5 "Ngo is gay and considers himself to be politically center-right. The Oregonian reported in 2021 that Ngo relocated to London, citing concerns for his personal safety. A Portland Police Bureau spokesman confirmed that Ngo filed at least 10 police reports about threats made to him or his family since June 2020." Wiki cite |

| #4 Sends a message to protect yourself to citizens or leave. The current issue is that there is no fence installed to keep the crazies from visiting other places. |

| #3 Grounds for retrial or directed verdict but not going to happen in Portland. |

| #1 IIRC, the defense attorney threatened the jury. I'm not a lawyer, but that seems like a reason for a mistrial. Or a directed verdict. |
