Just another day: Antifa terrorizes an elderly woman

Yeah, the fact that she wasn’t wearing a mask is the big sin happening here. I wish just one of those cowards with cameras would have stepped in and helped this poor woman.
 
For some reason I don't think she was just an innocent bystander that just happened to be in the wrong place.

That said, I hope they lock that effer up that assaulted her.
 
If the actions occurred as portrayed in the tweet, they were despicable. I'm a bit skeptical of the source, however:


Several media outlets, including The Oregonian and The Rolling Stone, have described him as a "right-wing provocateur".[9][10][11][12][13][14] BuzzFeed News said that "Ngo's work is probably best described as media activism" and that he engages in "participant reporting".[2] New York magazine cites Ngo as an example of "busybody journalism", which is distinguished from experiential journalism by its "focus on the individual reporter's feelings" and absence of editorial fact-checking.[15]

In May 2017, Ngo began an outreach internship with the Center for Inquiry, a nonprofit humanist educational organization.[16]

The Vanguard
Ngo first drew national attention in May 2017 after he was fired from the Portland State University (PSU) student newspaper The Vanguard.[1][17] His dismissal as multimedia editor was in reaction to a Breitbart News report that Ngo had tweeted on his personal account a video clip of a Muslim student on an interfaith panel stating that in some Muslim countries, the punishment for apostasy is death or banishment.[1] While not reporting for The Vanguard at the time, his tweet paraphrased the Muslim student's remark in a way the newspaper's student editor considered to be "a half-truth", and inciting a reaction.[1] Colleen Leary, Vanguard's editor, also disputed Ngo's claim that the dismissal was motivated by previous campus controversies over Ngo's work.[1]

Ngo later wrote an op-ed for the National Review titled "Fired for Reporting the Truth". He also engaged in online discussions about the incident and on the pro-Donald Trump subreddit /r/The Donald he called the firing part of a "trend towards self-censorship in the name of political correctness".[18] According to the editor of The Vanguard, the incident did not receive much attention on campus. A student who was on the panel disputed Leary's claim that Ngo had incorrectly paraphrased the Muslim student, but the Muslim student said, "I thought I would feel proud after putting something like this [panel] together. Not feel like this."[1][18]

Later work
In March 2018, Ngo filmed protests and a disruptive audience when feminist critic Christina Hoff Sommers spoke at the Lewis & Clark Law School in Portland.[19][20][21]

On August 29, 2018, Ngo wrote an op-ed titled "A Visit to Islamic England" for The Wall Street Journal. In the article, Ngo wrote of his experiences in two neighborhoods in East London, including visits to a mosque and an Islamic center. From these experiences, he concluded that London was afflicted with "failed multiculturalism". He falsely connected alcohol-free zones in parts of London to the Muslim-majority populations. Ngo was accused of Islamophobia[22][23][24][25][26] and subsequently issued a correction.[27][15][28] Alex Lockie from Business Insider criticized Ngo's article for "fear monger[ing] around England's Muslim population" and cherrypicking evidence, and for mischaracterizing the neighbourhood near the East London Mosque.[29] Steve Hopkins from HuffPost stated that "some of his [Ngo's] assertions have already been disproved".[30]

In October 2018, Ngo started a podcast entitled "Things You Should Ngo." His interviewees have included Jordan Peterson, Dave Rubin and Carl Benjamin (who uses the pen name "Sargon of Akkad" online).[2]

Until August 2019,[31] Ngo was a writer and sub-editor at Quillette.[22][32][33][34][35]

As of November 2019, Ngo is editor-at-large of The Post Millennial,[36] a conservative Canadian news website.[37]

Confrontations with antifa activists
Ngo has labelled several journalists, including Shane Burley and Alexander Reid Ross, as "antifa ideologues".[38] According to Vox's Zack Beauchamp, Ngo has doxed at least one political activist by publishing her full name.[39] He has also been accused of using selectively edited videos to paint antifa activists as violent, and to underplay the violence of the far-right.[40][41][10][42][43][44]

Rather than condemn Antifa for assaulting an elderly lady - you attack the Good Samaritan who video taped the crime

that says a lot about you
 
Yikes, I haven't been following the Portland stuff as closely as some, what makes the rioters antifa? Or how were they identified as antifa in this video?

Now do the Portland Police Department. You know
it’s not hard to say what’s in the video is wrong instead worrying about the person who posted the video/tweet. But whatever go team blue.

Yeah, she's a real thug. I bet she rolls through the Southside of Chi-town causing mayhem.
