‘Antifa wants me DEAD’: Andy Ngô’s thread detailing his latest brutal attack/assault by Antifa THUGS a terrifying must-read

Who knew an ‘idea’ could literally try and beat a reporter to death on the streets of Portland?

One would think an ‘idea’ would be fairly non-physical …

Andy Ngô was once again attacked and assaulted by Antifa members on the streets of Portland and none of these people are just an idea, Sleepy Joe.

Statement on May 28, 2021 Antifa assault:

No journalist in America should ever face violence for doing his or her job.

Yet on Friday, May 28, Antifa tried to kill me again while I was reporting on the ongoing protests and riots in Portland, Ore. for a new chapter of my…

This is a crazy thread.

book, “Unmasked: Inside Antifa’s Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy.”

I was chased, attacked and beaten by a masked mob, baying for my blood. Had I not been able to shelter wounded and bleeding inside a hotel while they beat the doors and windows like animals, there is…

no doubt in my mind I would not be here today. Their words, like their actions, speak for themselves. pic.twitter.com/mvMNcWKuJZ

Odds that Twitter hasn’t suspended any of these a-holes?

Antifa wants me dead because I document what they want to stay hidden. The attacks against me and threats on my life are retribution for my work as a journalist, recording the tactics and true ideology of an extremist clandestine movement that relies on deception and regards…

the truth as the greatest threat of all. They want the right to hide their identities behind masks, and erase records of their arrests and alleged crimes. They want me dead for capturing these things and reporting on them. But it is the right of every journalist, protected…

Shortly before midnight, Antifa member John Hacker, who assaulted me in 2019, began asking me questions. I didn’t answer and attempted to walk away, but a group of masked people in black followed and surrounded me. As they interrogated me, one managed to pull off my mask and… pic.twitter.com/bsL5lcIfDg

Ho-lee chit.

Look who got beat with the ugly stick.

immediately yelled, “That’s Andy. Get him! Get him!”

As I sprinted through downtown Portland trying to flag down help, there was no visible police presence. At SW 4th Ave and SW Morrison, one of the black-clad Antifa members tackled me to the ground in front of…

No visible police presence.

Thanks, Ted Wheeler.

In the chaos, I managed to seize a moment when my attackers were distracted and crawled away. As soon as I could get to my feet, I sprinted inside the only business I could see that was open —The Nines Hotel. I begged hotel staff to call 911, but they refused and ordered me… pic.twitter.com/CWxwFS1nMH

This.

Is.

Terrifying.

to wear a mask and leave the property. I insisted, reminding them of the violent mob outside seeking to kill me. By now, masked Antifa operatives were pounding on the hotel doors and windows, screaming and shouting my name and trying to break inside. https://t.co/9XqRKpcgYP

Anyone else reminded of the lunatics in Escape from New York? The Warriors?

What is HAPPENING in Portland?!

It seemed obvious they intended to make good on hundreds of threats over the past two years to kill me. pic.twitter.com/93ZifwJTHA

Afraid the windows would shatter and let the mob in, I begged someone to let me go up the elevator to escape from the lobby. For more than an hour, Antifa extremists kept trying to get into the hotel to hunt me down and finish the job they started on the street.

Dozens of riot police took up positions in front of the building where at least one online video shows extremists swearing and screaming at officers for “protecting Andy Ngo.” At least one Antifa member was arrested according to the… https://t.co/jcOofV9qeu

Wow.

When Antifa last beat me for doing my job in 2019, doctors told me I could have died from the brain hemorrhage caused by the blows to my head. I have made more than two dozen reports of subsequent threats and attacks to the Portland Police,…

— Andy Ngô (@MrAndyNgo) June 3, 2021

and as far as I am aware no action has been taken.

After the 2019 assault, Antifa and their sympathizers sought to cast me as a liar, white supremacist and far-right agitator who deserved to be beaten. pic.twitter.com/XujdVdBxJz

— Andy Ngô (@MrAndyNgo) June 3, 2021

C’mon man, it’s just an idea.

Right?

These lies will be used again to try to discredit me and other journalists reporting on Antifa, and to distort the facts.

But there is only one truth.

— Andy Ngô (@MrAndyNgo) June 3, 2021

I call on the Portland Police and federal authorities to act on this before Antifa operatives hiding behind their masks succeed in murdering an American journalist on their watch. And I call on journalists and all those who believe in the First Amendment to…
