Ngo, author of “Unmasked: Inside Antifa’s Plan to Destroy America,” was attacked in June 2019 by activists who beat him and threw “milkshakes” and other projectiles at him, suffering a brain hemorrhage that he said his doctors told him could have been fatal. Ngo “a threat to their safety because he regularly posts their mug shots and personal information to social media following their arrests,” said the newspaper. Liberals have this weird Sorkin-esq fixation with this idea that if you just burn someone hard enough or you drop the ultimate diss that someone is going to back down or re-think their lives and they are completely stymied when someone comes along who just doesn't give a shit.Footage posted on YouTube by the Willamette Week newspaper showed activists banging on the hotel windows and an unseen man yelling, “Nazi scum! You see my face, Andy?” Mitch McConnell is another example of someone that people waste an incredible amount of energy insulting and shit talking and who gives not a single fuck about any of it because the people who elect him like him and want him to keep doing what he's doing so he doesn't have to lose any sleep at all about people who don't like him. It works this way in politics too, more and more. When PPB won't talk to you, that should be a sign of just how big a scumbag you are.īut he still makes money, he still gets attention, he still gets views because he presents an extreme view on the world and doesn't care that it doesn't fly with people who don't agree with him. He's been discredited to the point where the Portland Police Bureau, the cops that have been going hog wild on protesters for months, have refused to take his calls. It's the shotgun approach to information dissemination and Ngo has shown that it abso-fucking-lutely works. Then you have people who think that maybe Ngo isn't completely up front but the idea of what he says is right and so they'll give his "information" a pass based on that (when realistically they just want confirmation of what they already believe and they're fine with overlooking Ngo's tendency to be scammy.) If people like Ngo just keep throwing chunk after chunk of bullshit out there, even if it's just blatantly made up, something at some point will catch on either because someone in a position of authority sees it and doesn't know who Ngo is or doesn't check and recycles that idea and then boom, its a narrative with a life of its own. People like Ngo don't care about being insulted or shamed because his target audience is people who don't know better, people who don't want to know better, and people who are quick on the trigger and don't check sources. We're used to people wanting to avoid being shamed or exposed in public and a lot of people just can't understand why someone wouldn't care. Ngo is a lab grade example of the new breed of politically involved people who operate without regard to criticism and it's annoying to see so many people who think that sick burns and shaming him on Twitter means anything. (At least five or six members of Patriot Prayer were eventually charged with felony riot and assault charges based on this unprovoked attack.) “He overheard everything,” Ben recalls, “and said nothing.” Ngo doesn’t film any of the conversations, and smiles when the group cracks jokes. Another man says, “Tell Joey and them to hurry the fuck up.”īen captures someone telling a person on speakerphone, "There's going to be a huge fight," and gives them directions to Cider Riot. "Who's texting Joey?" Someone asks when the group seems to be without a game plan. Some don goggles, helmets, and tactical gloves. Another man holds a thick wooden dowel, and practices swinging it like a baseball bat. A few men try to guess which way the wind's blowing to avoid getting "spray" in their eyes, presumably when they use it against members of antifa. As the group waits, they discuss their weaponry. He then filmed it and did his best to make the attack look like it was started by the "leftists" and "antifa". He did nothing but laugh along with the group as they planned to assault a bunch of people peacefully drinking cider and minding their own business. He was with Patriot Prayer as they planned to instigate a brawl at a local Portland bar on May 1, 2019.
