Oregon journalist Andy Ngo sues Antifa for $900,000 for 'campaign of terror'

Journalist Andy Ngo filed a lawsuit Thursday against the Rose City Antifa, seeking $900,000 in damages for waging a “campaign of terror and harassment” against him, including a series of physical attacks.

A complaint filed in Oregon Circuit Court said Mr. Ngo has been assaulted, stalked, threatened and robbed by members of the Rose City Antifa in Portland, suffering a brain hemorrhage after being attacked in June 2019 by a black-masked mob.

The lawsuit, filed by San Francisco attorney Harmeet K. Dhillon and the Center for American Liberty, described Rose City Antifa as a racketeering operation under the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act.

“What happened to Andy Ngo is disturbing and should send chills down the spines of every journalist in the country,” said Ms. Dhillon, the Republican National Committeewoman from California, in a statement.

In addition to the Rose City Antifa, the complaint names five individuals and identifies them as Antifa activists.

“The police, district attorney’s office, and local politicians have totally failed to bring justice to the perpetrators of this heinous act and we bring this lawsuit as a last resort in the face of their unwillingness to enforce the law,” said Ms. Dhillon. “As we watch America’s greatest cities burn live on television at the hands of Antifa terrorists, we know they were emboldened by the inaction in Portland.”

The lawsuit comes with Antifa drawing heightened federal attention from the Trump administration, which has accused the shadowy anarchist group of driving the violent rioting wreaking havoc on U.S. cities since the May 25 death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody.

“Local law enforcement have been of little help. I have not heard from the police since last year,” Mr. Ngo said. “I have received and reported many death threats and incidents of harassment and stalking to police, but nothing has been done, even when I’ve identified suspects.”

He said he was first attacked during the 2019 May Day protest, during which an activist he identified as Benjamin Bolen punched him in the stomach. Later, at the Cider Riot bar, an Antifa hangout, Mr. Ngo said he was sprayed with bear mace, leaving him “temporarily blinded.”

A week later, an Antifa activist he identified as John Hacker threw an unknown liquid on his head while he was at the gym. On Halloween 2019, a half-dozen Antifa members came to his house wearing masks of his face, banged on the windows, rang the doorbell, and tried the door handle.

“As part of Rose City Antifa’s campaign of terror and harassment against Ngo, Twitter accounts controlled by Antifa members released, in two separate events, private information about donors to Andy Ngo’s medical expenses from the mob attack and private information about his family (such as the address of his mother’s small business),” said the lawsuit.

Rose City Antifa, which maintains a Twitter account called Always Antifascist, did not have any immediate public comment.

It's too bad the Portland authorities did nothing to stop anitfa. If this is the only justice that Ngo can get that is pathetic but at least he'll get something out of it.

Meet the new boss same as the old boss

The word "exploitation" is thrown around a lot in our society. Exploitation of the workers,of the masses,of various groups. One form of exploitation is when older people entice the younger generation to be their foot soldiers. To do their dirty work for them. We've seen this in the '70's with the establishment exploiting young men through the draft to kill or be killed in the Viet Nam War. A lot of young men also noticed it and brought it forefront for the American people to understand it and combat it. Today it is a different establishment playing the role of puppet master but they are yielding the same bloody results. Back then it was big business tycoons and other corporate elites that were pulling the strings. Pulling the strings in favor of them and their stockholders. Today it is college and university professors and other left wing members of the faculty that are the exploiters. It is very easy to accomplish now that the unions control the educational system and how the left owns the unions. What passes for "education" these days is a mockery of the word and definition. I would use the term "indoctrinate". This indoctrination doesn't start on the first day of their college classes. It starts on the first day of their kindergarten class. From K-12 and beyond the left has brainwashed your children. The left is also creating an army of their own. Of ruthless thugs that use Stalinistic methods of terror to achieve their goals. Their army is called "antifa". They pride themselves on being "anti-fascists". They can take pride in knowing they are just as vicious as those they claim to hate. If not more so. In the U.S. military honor and respect for the law are prized. With antifa they are despised. With the U.S. military the United States Constitution and the American Revolution are the guiding principles. With antifa Das Kapital and the communist revolution are the only things that matter. We've seen that evil intent,regardless of political affiliation,can wreck damage,perhaps extensive,throughout society. IOW the more things change the more they stay the same.
