If you see something, say something. The new rallying cry for left-wing authoritarians such as yourself.

Is this supposed to justify him almost getting murdered in front of the Portland Police?


Not at all, what happened to him was terrible and the people who did it deserve to sit in a prison cell for a long time. However for somebody whose life was effected so dramatically by violence he sure didn't seem to care about it happening to other people.

I didn’t think the press had an obligation to tip off police. Reverse the roles and say Madcow heard Antifa planning violence do you think she would report it?

Does that make ignoring the fact that a violent event is going to happen ok to you? A lazy hypothetical?

Not "other people". The people who are part of the organization that assaulted him.

I watched the video and maybe I’m confused but I don’t see where the group was preparing to instigate a fight. From what I could tell they were trying to avoid them because they were grossly outnumbered and walked the other way. The only thing was that they were prepared for a fight but that doesn’t mean they were preparing to instigate the fight.

Wait, if Andy Ngo is supposed to report the people he is covering to authorities or face consequences, how many lefty journalists are facing the same consequences for their failure to report antifa?


So do what I say, not as I do is ok? The whole point is AN was supposed to be the bastion of truth and outting the terrorists.....

now he's standing idly by (allegedly) doing the opposite of what he is preaching and you guys are ok with that? That's f'ed up.

Ngo didn’t turn his camera on as the group discussed their plans for an attack, just smiled along as they cracked jokes.


So did the attack actually happen as Antifa's often do or was this just talk?

Here is the Twitter thread that exposed and brought Andy Ngo down: LINK

Something is wrong with him...anyone picking a side in Portland is a jackass...all of those clowns are jackasses and it's more akin to a bunch of hooligan gangs getting together every so often for a punch up, nothing more.

Who gives a crap if "do what I say, not as I do is ok?"

Andy Ngo is an American citizen. He has a right to tape what he wants, edit it the way he wants, and say what he wants about it.

He could be the biggest hypocrite ever. It doesn't matter.

People can say whatever they want to about Andy Ngo. They can accuse him of a multitude of violations of right-think in the court of public opinion.

When they violently attack him, they have crossed a line. When they say, "He had it coming", they show they are the fascists they say they are protesting against.

Okay, so tell me EXACTLY what he was supposed to report from that video. You are Andy Ngo, you are at that meeting. You call up the police and say:

So Ngo got tight with a group that WOULD defend him AFTER antifa nearly killed him?


The video was from the May Day protest, before the incident in June. Regardless, he had been threatened and attacked before I believe.

I don't really understand what the video is supposed to prove. I don't fault the Proud Boys / Patriot Prayer people for bringing weapons for defense, and if you watch the video of the Cider Riot scuffle, those weapons weren't used aggressively to attack. They went to Cider Riot to basically show how ridiculous these people were and all you see is things getting thrown at them and getting pepper sprayed.

Exactly what I saw too. There's no video of anybody but Antifa being aggressively violent. That's the difference. Antifa brings weapons to their circle jerks but they actually use them to intimidate, suppress, and attack the other side, and almost always not in self defense.

Seems that the criticism is that this guy was actually involved in the planning of the violent clashes. If he is in the room where violent confrontations are being planned, he isn't the guy to expose "the other side" as a result of the occurrence of violent clashes when he is in on the planning.

People here defend that piece of shite

It's like I've been saying all along. This is not a good vs evil scenario for either side. These are fringe lunatics doing fringe lunatic things. They sooner both groups cease to exist the better for society as a whole.
