Journalist Andy Ngo Violently Attacked And Robbed By Antifa As Police Do Nothing
Independent journalist Andy Ngo was beaten and robbed by Antifa thugs in Portland, Oregon, on Saturday afternoon. Ngo was covering a protest of leftist Antifa as they marched the streets of downtown Portland with mask-covered faces chanting, “All cops are bastards!” Antifa thugs were there to protest the Proud Boys, a group of men who defend Trump supporters that were attacked because of their political views.
During the past few years, Ngo has captured some Antifa members’ violent acts on film. Today, Ngo became another one of Antifa’s victims, punching and kicking him, throwing milkshakes mixed with quick-drying cement, raw eggs, and pepper spray on him, and stealing his camera.

Ngo appeared visibly shaken after being punched in the face and robbed. Ngo said the police did nothing to stop Antifa members while it was happening.

Here’s what they did to @MrAndyNgo
They falsely call themselves “Anti Fascist”
Does anyone really think Andy Ngo is a “Fascist”?
They are Fascist Cowards who cover their faces and attack ordinary Americans.

The Portland Police issued a statement: “During today’s events, there were multiple assaults reported, as well as projectiles thrown at demonstrators and officers. There were also reports of pepper spray and bear spray being used by people in the crowd. Officers deployed pepper spray during the incident.”
Police have received information that some of the milkshakes thrown today during the demonstration contained quick-drying cement. We are encouraging anyone hit with a substance today to report it to police.

A GoFundMe account was created for Ngo’s security and medical needs, and to replace his stolen camera. So far, $65,700 has been raised for the journalist. Ngo was admitted to the hospital for bleeding on the brain.
Anybody know who these thugs are pictured? They participated in the “milkshaking” assaults that landed client @MrAndyNgo in the hospital overnight (at least) with a brian bleed. This criminal conspiracy needs to be investigated, stopped, punished. https://t.co/7H3Wti1nJu
