Portland Journalist Andy Ngo: I “was Just Assaulted … by Someone I Recognize at Antifa Rallies”
“He first dumped liquid on me then stole my phone.”
Journalist Andy Ngo works in Portland, Oregon, which has become a hotbed for the far left group Antifa.
Ngo has repeatedly reported on the group. Now, a man he believes he recognized from an Antifa rally assaulted him at a gym.
Scott Morefield reported at the Daily Caller:
Journalist Andy Ngo Posts Video of Possible Antifa Member Allegedly Assaulting Him and Stealing His Phone
Journalist Andy Ngo posted a video on Twitter of a man he claimed to recognize from “Antifa rallies” allegedly assaulting him and stealing his phone.
“Was just assaulted & had my phone stolen at @24hourfitness Hollywood Portland by someone I recognize at Antifa rallies,” Ngo wrote via Twitter. “He first dumped liquid on me then stole my phone. Reporting to @PortlandPolice. I don’t know his identity & gym wouldn’t tell me. They got my phone back.”
“You want to video me like everyone else,” the man can be heard saying as he approached Ngo and grabbed his phone. “I will f*cking break your phone.”
See the video in Ngo’s tweet:

Less than a week ago, a masked protester attacked Ngo at a ‘May Day’ event, which devolved into a near riot.
Tom Ozimek reported at the Epoch Times:
Violent Clashes Erupt in Portland Just as Police Announce May Day Event Was ‘Peaceful’
Violent May Day clashes erupted in Portland moments after police initially announced that the day’s events had mostly been peaceful.
“Overall, the events were peaceful in nature,” Portland police said in an initial statement at around 7:30 p.m. on the evening of May 1. “For a short time, some streets were blocked in the Southwest waterfront area. The police sound truck made announcements for people to get out of the street for everyone’s safety. The group eventually moved back to the park and then dispersed.”
But in a later statement at around 10 p.m., police noted that a disturbance had taken place, in which “an estimated 60 people were involved in a fight and someone may have deployed mace.”…
In one video posted by freelance journalist Andy Ngo, Patriot Prayer leader Joey Gibson is seen talking to someone as a masked black-clad individual runs up and hits him with pepper spray before turning the stream towards Ngo and his camera.
“I was sprayed in the face point blank with pepper spray outside the @CiderRiot, where Antifa had amassed,” Ngo wrote. “They cheered as I was blinded. Before that, they threatened me & brought up my mother’s name.”

Just called Portland Police. They said they are too busy dealing with the riot to send someone to take a report from me. This is while the @PortlandPolice sends out tweet saying the day was peaceful with no arrests.

Ngo deserves a lot of credit, not only for his reporting, but for having the guts to wade into such hostile territory.

Sue the gym, file complaints regarding city with FBI and State police.
We need an Anti-Antifa to show Antifa some basic manners.
I believe that group is called the Proud Boys.
What we need to a group of ANTIFA assaulters executed on the spot. And the group should be busted, with leaders getting jail sentences. Since the local police are part of the racket, the Feds need to step in.
Unfortunately, the feds are also part of the racket.
Diversity…. the USA is developing all forms of “no-go” zones. Many in one city even. Just like Weimar…. the street thugs from the Left or as in Europe with jihadists enforce their code.
So is only the Aussie press covering this?
Since the police have made it clear they won’t do anything, Andy needs to defend himself. Let the coroner identify the assailant.
Better to classify Antifa as a terrorist organization. Treat them the same as organized crime.
Sadly, if this gets out of hand the new slogan may be:
“If you see something, slay something.”

Andy Ngo does real journalism and eventually he and others like him are going to eat the mainstream media’s lunch. People can only stomach so much groupthink and newspeak before they start seeking elsewhere.
Shouting louder is not going to recapture those who have walked away.
he needs to get himself into a bjj class immediately.
I’m not a tough guy, but if I had been there I would have helped Andy. What is everyone afraid of?
Aside from you getting charged and thrown in jail?
As a number of other contributors have noted, the Portland city government,ent and police are in thevpckets of the radical left. Oregon’s governor should send in the national guard to maintain law order–but she is another Demoscum–maybe its time to federalize the state’s national guard
He said the attacker has been identified. I would like to see criminal charges filed and followed up on with some sort of judgement/jail/probation. Get him in the system and then they may not be easy on him the next time. These people are dangerous. Get them off the streets.
