Ngo’s colleague Katie Daviscourt covered the trial and saw first-hand how Antifa allies recorded video in the courtroom against court rules.Īntifa is now filming me inside the courthouse. In Ngo’s civil case, there was a gag order put on all parties in the lawsuit because of Antifa’s violent history. Related: West Coast, Messed Coast™ - ‘We’re On Our Own’ Edition “But Andy would NOT be silenced.” But he did have to move to a different country to feel safe. “Antifa thugs had repeatedly used violence in Portland to intimidate and silence journalists and ordinary citizens, including Andy,” she said. Antifa thugs had repeatedly used violence in Portland to intimidate and silence journalists… Īnd she accurately described the stakes of Antifa’s violent intimidation tactics. When we started to stand up for the first amendment and other civil rights of clients who would otherwise have gone unrepresented, case was the first one we took. One of his attorneys, Harmeet Dhillon, whose foundation took on Ngo’s case, said, “Though we lost against these two defendants today, we won a settlement with one of the individual defendants and took the defaults of three of them who failed to show up for court.” Today, the jury returned a disappointing verdict finding John… /zzaI7TUaRc

Since July 31, I've been the plaintiff in a trial in Portland to hold what I still consider to be a violent extremist group and its members accountable for their harmful activities, Andy Ngo v. 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.” These violent attacks were caught on camera/video. In 2020, Andy Ngo filed a lawsuit in Portland, Oregon claiming assault and other injuries by alleged members of Antifa. In 2020, Ngo filed a civil lawsuit against several members of Portland Antifa for the violent attacks against him, which began in 2019. And time after time Antifa continues to demonstrate through its attacks on journalists and people with differing views, such as Trump supporters, that the group is exactly opposite of what it claims to be. Non-violent by nature anyway, Ngo has told me that the Strickland attack cemented his peaceful approach in covering the group that rules by violence and intimidation ironically under a flag of anti-fascism. He took what Strickland started and continued highlighting Antifa violence and intimidation on Portland streets and the group’s corrosive effect on the psyche of the once-peaceful Rose City. I also later received death threats that the Portland Police dismissed as no big deal.Īfter Antifa took Strickland off the board - probation rules halted this now-convicted felon’s ability to continue plying his then-booming YouTube and other video work about the left in Portland and Seattle - Antifa started going after other right-leaning independent reporters, including a fledgling reporter named Andy Ngo.

While in the courtroom at his trial, I was threatened by Antifa allies. The cops didn’t bother to help Strickland, either. In fact, they were never identified in court or by any of the undercover cops that had infiltrated the protest crowd that day. 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.

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. 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.īefore 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. 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.
