Journalist Andy Ngo beaten up by antifa activists at Portland protest

Police are hit with eggs, milkshakes; crowd ordered to disperse in
latest street clash

By Valerie Richardson - The Washington Times - Saturday, June 29, 2019

An Oregon photojournalist who covers Portland’s frequently violent
protest scene was taken to the hospital Saturday after being attacked by
black-masked antifa activists.

Andy Ngo, an editor at the online platform Quillette, said he was struck
on the head and face "multiple times" by antifa protesters, who also
threw objects and a milkshake at him as he tried to walk away.

The attack, recorded in part by the Oregonian and posted on Twitter,
came during Saturday’s Rose City Antifa counter-protest against a rally
held by the far-right group Proud Boys in downtown Portland.

Mr. Ngo had bloody cuts and bruises on his face, and his hair and shirt
were covered with milkshake, as shown in a video he posted on Twitter
shortly after the assault.

"I just got beat up by the crowd — no police at all — in the middle of
the street," Mr. Ngo said in the post. "And they stole my GoPro. And
they punched me several times in my face and head, and I’m bleeding."

He was shown being treated by authorities and later tweeted that he had
been transported to the hospital.

The Oregonian’s Jim Ryan, who posted video of the attack, reported,
"First skirmish I’ve seen. Didn’t see how this started, but @MrAndyNgo
got roughed up."

— Andy Ngo (@MrAndyNgo) June 29, 2019 Mr. Ngo, a right-leaning
journalist who regularly films Portland’s protest activity, has written
for the Wall Street Journal, National Review, RealClearPolitics and
other publications.

Before the protest, Rose City Antifa had singled out Mr. Ngo in an
online post promoting the "Community Self Defense Against Proud Boy
Attack," calling him a "[l]ocal far-right Islamophobic journalist."

Video posts of Saturday’s clash showed a few dozen right-wing activists
holding a rally while hundreds of counter-protesters marched in the
street amid a heavy police presence.

Portland police, who urged protesters to clear the streets and stay on
the sidewalks, tweeted that officers had been hit with eggs and milkshakes.

Police later declared the event a "civil disturbance and unlawful
assembly," warning that those who failed to disperse would be subject to
arrest.

PPB advising this is now a civil disturbance and unlawful assembly. If
you do not disperse, you are subject to arrest or use of force.

— Portland Police (@PortlandPolice) June 29, 2019 Video showed
protesters chanting "Proud Boy scum, off our streets" and, "Whose
streets? Our streets!"

"The antifascist protest has totally shut down Portland streets,"
tweeted Shane Burley, author of "Fascism Today: What It Is and How to
End It."

Portland, Ore.

‘No hate! No fear!" chanted the left-wing crowd as they marched downtown
Saturday. I walked to the front of the line to record the protesters
with my new GoPro camera when I was suddenly slammed on the back of my
head with something hard. Dazed and still hearing faint chants of "no
hate," I was then punched and kicked by perhaps a dozen masked people in
black. At an Antifa event meant to resist "fascist violence," I—a gay
journalist of color—was beaten so badly that I was hospitalized for a
brain hemorrhage....

(4) After Antifa Violence, Anti-Mask Law Should Be Passed: Portland
Police Chief

https://www.theepochtimes.com/after-antifa-violence-anti-mask-law-should-be-passed-portland-police-chief_2989795.html

July 4, 2019 Updated: July 4, 2019 Share

After the Antifa extremist group was caught on video assaulting at least
three people over the weekend in Portland, Oregon, the police chief
there called for a law that would ban masks.

Antifa, a far-left group that openly advocates violence, was seen on
June 30 beating journalist Andy Ngo as well as two other men. Ngo said
he suffered a brain hemorrhage. Three people were arrested and five
suspects are being sought.

Antifa appeared in Portland to protest against Proud Boys and #HimToo,
groups advocating free speech, men’s rights, and other principles, which
reportedly obtained permits for their events.

"We have to do something differently," Portland police Chief Danielle
Outlaw said on July 3, speaking to reporters for the first time since
the beatings, reported the left-leaning Oregonian. Neither Outlaw nor
the Oregonian mentioned Antifa by name.

"There were entities that planned a brawl in the city of Portland and no
one seems to be upset about that. … Entities came here for a fight. … I
don’t even know what they were protesting against," Outlaw added.

Outlaw said that Mayor Ted Wheeler, who is also the city’s police
commissioner, didn’t order police officers to stand down despite
allegations by the police union president and Ngo that officers stood by
while the violence was waged. In video footage that shows Ngo and the
two men being assaulted, no police officers were visible during the
assaults.

Outlaw said the bureau has 128 positions for officers, and noted law
enforcement from nearby agencies, such as the Clackamas County Sheriff’s
Office, have declined requests to enter the city and assist officers in
dealing with the frequent clashes between Antifa and groups like the
Proud Boys.

Acknowledging police have to pick and choose when to intervene, Outlaw
said officers intervene in teams "whenever we can do it safely."

She then called for the law against masks.

"We cannot allow people to continue to use the guise of free speech to
commit a crime,’’ Outlaw said. "A lot of people are emboldened because
they know they can’t be identified.’’

A number of Antifa members have said one reason they wear masks is to
avoid being identified.

Fifteen states ban masks, including Alabama, Mississippi, and New York.
A bill proposed in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2018 would have
criminalized "committing certain offenses while in disguise."

Anyone wearing a mask who injured, threatened, intimidated, or oppressed
people "in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege"
would have been imprisoned for up to 15 years if the bill had passed.

The bill was titled the "Unmasking Antifa Act of 2018." It was never
brought to a vote.

Reacting to Outlaw’s comments, Kimberly McCullough, policy director for
the American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon, said that an anti-mask law
in the state might violate the First Amendment.

Antifa Member Indicted For Assault That Savaged Man’s Scalp

Gage Halupowski was arrested along with two other activists

By: Jack Murphy  |@NeonNettle on 10th July 2019 @ 6.00pm © press

The Antifa member was part of the group who ganged up on a man and split
his scalp open, according to police. A 23-year-old 'Antifa fighter' has
been indicted by a grand jury over his alleged role in violent clashes
during protests in June, according to reports.

The Antifa member was part of the group who ganged up on a man and split
his scalp open, according to police.Gage Halupowski was arrested along
with two other activists following clashes in Portland’s Pioneer
Courthouse Square.

A grand jury indicted Halupowski with criminal charges, including
second-degree assault, unlawful use of a weapon, attempted assault of a
public safety officer, and interfering with a peace officer, according
to the Oregonian.

During the confrontations between right-wing and left-wing protesters,
Halupowski was allegedly involved in an attack on two people, Adam
Kelly, and John Blum.

A police officer witnessed Halupowski run up behind Kelly, who was
trying to stop others from beating Blum and hit him on the top of his
head with an expandable baton, according to a probable cause affidavit.
Halupowski then punched another officer’s arm as he was trying to arrest
him, the report says.

Footage from the Portland Tribune shows protesters with masks attacking
Blum, a man with grey hair wearing a backpack.

The two other people arrested on June 29 are scheduled to appear before
the court on August 9. Blum was part of a right-wing rally sponsored by
the Him Too movement, which purports to protect men from undue
accusations of sexual harassment, according to the Washington Times.

Another rally by the right-wing group Proud Boys was also scheduled for
the same date and place. The attackers reportedly belonged to the
radical left-wing movement Antifa.

One of those injured during the clashes in Portland was journalist Andy
Ngo, who works for the online magazine Quillette, and was covering
protests and counter-protests. Antifa activists allegedly targeted him.

The two other people arrested on June 29 are scheduled to appear before
the court on August 9. They were charged with harassment due to
allegedly throwing milkshakes and water on their opponents.Portland
Police is still trying to identify other individuals involved in the
violence that occurred on the day.

Last week, the lawyer representing journalist Andy Ngo, who was also
brutally attacked by Antifa, warned the George Soros-funded group she
plans to sue them "into oblivion."

Goodnight, everyone except Antifa criminals who I plan to sue into
oblivion and then sow salt into their yoga studios and avocado toast,
stands until nothing grows there, not even the glimmer of a violent
criminal conspiracy aided by the effete impotence of a cowed city
government," Harmeet K. Dhillon wrote.

Ngo was brutally assaulted on Saturday while he was covering Antifa
protesters.The journalist was kicked, punched, and had milkshakes thrown
on him by the left-wing thugs, which was all captured on video before
going viral on social media.

A grand jury on Tuesday indicted a Portland man for his alleged
involvement in a June 29 protest downtown that turned violent. He is
scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday.

Gage Halupowski, 23, faces four criminal charges — second-degree
assault, unlawful use of a weapon, attempted assault of a public safety
officer and interfering with a peace officer.

The protest was one of several in Portland on June 29 as left and
right-wing demonstrators held rival gatherings downtown, halting traffic
and public transit for much of the afternoon. Police declared a civil
disturbance and unlawful assembly a little after 3 p.m., and the crowd
dispersed before the afternoon was over. Medics treated eight people for
injuries, including three police officers. Conservative writer Andy Ngo
was one of the people injured, and he appeared to be attacked by antifa
members.

A probable cause affidavit says Halupowski was one of many protestors
involved in a fight at Pioneer Courthouse Square. In the affidavit, a
Portland police officer states that several people in black clothes and
masks were chasing a man, and then kicked, punched and hit him with
batons after he fell to the ground. The officer said he saw Halupowski
run up behind Adam Kelly, a man who had tried to stop the group from
beating the other man, and struck him on top of the head with an
expandable baton. The report also states that when another Portland
police officer attempted to arrest Halupowski, he punched her in the arm
and then ran away before being arrested.

Two others were charged with harassment and disorderly conduct at the
June 29 protests, and both have court dates set for Aug. 9. James
Stocks, 20, faces four counts of harassment, and is suspected of
throwing a milkshake at a group of people. Maria Dehart, 22, was charged
with one count of harassment and one of second-degree disorderly
conduct, for allegedly throwing a water bottle at a man who was
recording the protest.

(7) Soros-backed activists say Pelosi Aiding 'Fascism' by condemning Antifa

http://dailycaller.com/2017/09/10/soros-backed-activists-say-pelosi-aiding-fascism-by-condeming-antifa/

Leading anti-Trump "resistance" group Refuse Fascism has condemned House
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and other critics of Antifa, saying they
are abetting the "fascism" of the Trump administration.

The resistance group issued a statement Saturday declaring its support
for Antifa and hammering its critics, even as Pelosi and others on the
left attempt to distance themselves from Antifa, the violent far-left
movement that federal authorities have said is engaging in domestic
terror activity. Refuse Fascism specifically noted Pelosi's criticisms
of Antifa, before attacking all critics of Antifa as siding with
"fascism." The statement was titled "Shameful, Dangerous, Wrong Attacks
on Antifa."

"Differences over tactics, where they exist, must not divide the
people's resistance. Distancing and effectively joining in the threats
and attack by this fascist regime, and other government authorities, is
not only morally bankrupt, it also accommodates and quickly leads to
collaboration with fascism," Refuse Fascism stated.

"To stand against injustice at this moment requires firmly understanding
that the attacks against 'Antifa' are designed to intimidate, suppress,
and divide all opposition to fascism. The threats and attacks on Antifa
and anyone else standing up against fascism, especially attempts by the
state to brand them as 'terrorist' or put them on watchlists, must be
opposed."

The FBI and Department of Homeland Security say Antifa group are
engaging in "domestic terrorist violence," Politico first reported.

Pelosi finally condemned Antifa on August 29, after Antifa members
violently attacked peaceful anti-Marxist demontrators in Berkeley,
California. (RELATED: Berkeley Police Arrest 13 Protesters In Connection
To Antifa Violence)

"Our democracy has no room for inciting violence or endangering the
public, no matter the ideology of those who commit such acts," Pelosi
wrote. "The violent actions of people calling themselves antifa in
Berkeley this weekend deserve unequivocal condemnation, and the
perpetrators should be arrested and prosecuted." (RELATED: Public School
Teachers Behind Violent Antifa Group)

Refuse Fascism has consistently organized mass demonstrations, in
Berkeley and elsewhere, that have turned into riots. The group is backed
by a progressive charity that is in turn funded by left-wing financier
George Soros, a major labor union and several large companies, as
TheDC's Chuck Ross first reported. The group lists Ivy League professor
and DNC platform member Cornel West as one of the group's "initiators."

Walmart Selling ‘Antifa’ Fan Gear

by AMANDA HOUSE

1 Dec 2017

Walmart is selling "Antifa" clothing that "will [allow you to] express
yourself inside the opposition to the ideology, organizations,
governments and people from the far right (fascism)." The mega-retailer
is offering at least 13 different sweatshirts "made in Mexico of 100%
COTTON for all-day comfort" promoting the group whose activities were
"formally classified" by the Obama Administration "as domestic terrorist
violence" as early as April 2016, according to Politico, despite the
group’s efforts to downplay this determination.

"Antifa," or Anti-Fascist Action, is an informal grouping of communist,
anarchist, and other far-left street gangs. Drawing inspiration from the
German Communist Party’s street fighters of the 1930s, the modern
movement grew out of the European far-left punk scene in the 1980s.
These unapologetically violent bands of leftists were largely unknown in
the United States until recent years, when America’s post-Occupy Wall
Street far-left began adopting the name.

Antifa is well known for dozens of violent crimes against people they
consider "fascists" on both sides of the Atlantic. As Breitbart News’s
Ian Mason cataloged, to Antifa, "fascists" include "in no particular order":

…Trump supporters, other Trump supporters, members of Germany’s populist
AfD party, a 20-year-old woman who chose to wear a Spanish-flag
bracelet, a Philadelphia free speech rally, former UKIP and Brexit
leader Nigel Farage, libertarian VICE News co-founder Gavin McInnes,
French policemen, and Israeli-owned bookstores. Interesting, a Salafist
Muslim who attacked a "filthy white" Antifa writer because he
disrespected Islam does not qualify.

None of this has stopped Antifa from receiving a rash of positive press
from American left-leaning media outlets; acceptance from both
Democratic politicians and Republicans like John McCain, Marco Rubio,
and Mitt Romney; and, now, its own clothing collection at Walmart.

"Just remember to keep creating a better world," the clothing
advertisements encourage.

This glorification of Antifa was mirrored Friday by the New York Times,
which published a fashion style guide for the group: "practical advice
on how to dress for a riot." In their guide, the Times explains why a
uniform look is needed, from Breitbart News’s Charlie Nash:

"These defensive methods work only if there are enough black-clad others
nearby. A single person in all black and multiple face masks is an eye
grabber."

Finally, the Times claimed that dressing in black militant gear and
concealing your face forms an "emotional connection" with other rioters.

"Tactical considerations aside, it’s this emotional connection with
other members of the bloc that many practitioners highlight the most in
interviews," they proclaimed. "It’s why soldiers and police have uniforms."

Walmart has come under previous criticism for selling "Black Lives
Matter" shirts and other items. Following a request from the national
Fraternal Order of Police, the retail giant eventually removed one of
the items last December, shirts that said "Bulletproof," but refused to
remove the rest.

As with the "Black Lives Matter" paraphernalia, the Antifa products are
being sold by a third party manufacturer, in this case, Tee Bangers, on
Walmart’s website.

New York Times Glorifies Violent Antifa Rioters with Style Guide,
Tactical Advice

by CHARLIE NASH

1 Dec 201767 The New York Times has glorified Antifa and its more
violent "black bloc" rioters with a style guide, complete with riot gear
advice. In their article, titled "What to Wear to Smash the State," the
New York Times detailed the fashion of violent far-left rioters who
enjoy "punching Nazis," before advising what to wear during violent
protests and riots.

"This mass of solid black descending upon the park in Berkeley, hunting
for fascists, was an intimidating aesthetic. That’s by design," they
declared, before quoting an anarchist who claimed that covering your
face and dressing in uniform "makes it easier for saboteurs to take the
offensive against storefronts, banks and any other material symbols and
power centers of capitalism and the state."

Despite quoting the anarchist, who openly admitted that the black
clothing and covered faces were used to evade police officers while
committing crimes, the New York Times attempted to claim that the style
is a safety measure to prevent being identified by "white supremacist
groups."

"The creation of mass anonymity protects practitioners from the threat
of post-action doxxing by white supremacist groups, a process by which
their identities and contact information, including addresses and places
of employment, are publicized," they claimed. "People at home can use
this information to harass and threaten. Similarly, police and other
agencies have staff devoted to documenting demonstrations, and they work
to identify people on film and video. These are among the reasons that
some anarchists and anti-fascists advocate smashing cameras at
demonstrations." Apparently, the New York Times favors the "two x"
spelling of "doxing" typically reserved for people new to the Internet.

In their article, the New York Times continued by giving "practical
advice on how to dress for a riot."

"There is more practical advice on how to dress for a riot. One should
decide on organic or synthetic gloves before participating in an action:
Wool and cotton may allow chemical contaminants, like pepper spray, to
absorb, while nylon can melt if you grab something hot, which
historically has included some kinds of tear-gas canisters but can
include various things on fire," they advised, before adding, "These
defensive methods work only if there are enough black-clad others
nearby. A single person in all black and multiple face masks is an eye
grabber."

Finally, the Times claimed that dressing in black militant gear and
concealing your face forms an "emotional connection" with other rioters.

"Tactical considerations aside, it’s this emotional connection with
other members of the bloc that many practitioners highlight the most in
interviews," they proclaimed. "It’s why soldiers and police have uniforms."

What to Wear to Smash the State  Anti-fascist activists believe in
dressing for the job they want. Right now, many think, that job is
punching Nazis.

By RICK PAULASNOV. 29, 2017

In late August, a crowd of thousands — primarily leftists and liberals —
cascaded down Martin Luther King Jr. Way in Berkeley, Calif. They were
marching on a spattering of right-wingers, Trump supporters and Nazis
who were gathering under the mission to say "no to Marxism in America."
At the front of the march were about 100 people dressed in head-to-toe
black.

According to many people present, this was the largest so-called black
bloc they’d seen. This medley of black-clad anarchists, anti-fascists
(known as "antifa" activists) and their fellow travelers was a response
to the previous week’s white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va.
There, protests ended with 19 injured and 32-year-old Heather Heyer
killed when James Fields, an admirer of Hitler who demonstrated with
white supremacists, drove his car into a crowd.

This mass of solid black descending upon the park in Berkeley, hunting
for fascists, was an intimidating aesthetic. That’s by design.

"Cops wear camouflage when they arrest people in city drug raids," said
Ben, a Bay Area activist. "But they’re in a city. It doesn’t help them,
but it makes them look more intimidating." Ben says he has participated
in protests since 2000, including Bush/Gore, Occupy Oakland and Black
Lives Matter. (The Times agreed to use only his first name because of
the threat of harassment, online or otherwise, by activists.) "A group
of people all dressed in black can be intimidating," he said.

Is that intimidation the motive or just a benefit? Do black bloc
practitioners dress up because, as many progressives wonder, they want
to commit crimes? What do they get out of "masking up"? Where does
uniform merge with tactic? ...
