In a shocking and disturbing turn of events, a jury in Portland, Oregon, has reached a verdict unbelievably finding Antifa thugs not liable in a civil case filed by independent journalist Andy Ngo … He was seeking almost $1 million in damages in a lawsuit accusing the co-defendants of assault, battery, theft, and intentional infliction of emotional distress over a series of violent Antifa attacks … The [defense] attorney announced that this would be her last trial and that she is retiring. After that, she engaged in blatant witness intimidation that should have caused a mistrial by telling the jurors that she “will remember each one of their faces.” In her closing arguments, she did not even lay out why the two defendants should be found not guilty. Instead, she reportedly went on a screed in defense of anti-fascism while attacking Ngo.
Scared Jurors, Intimidation: Reporter Andy Ngo’s Case Against Antifa Shows How Desperately Lost Portland Is
Journalist Andy Ngo was chased, beaten, and chased again when he burst into a downtown Portland, Ore., hotel in May 2021 to get away from his black-bloc-clad Antifa attackers. “They’re trying to kill me,” he told the understandably frightened hotel workers. It wasn’t the first time he’d been attacked by the notorious Portland terrorist gang. If Portland’s criminal justice system wouldn’t stop these guys, Ngo figured, he’d sue them for $1 million. 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. 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.
