I thought this story was very interesting. A journalist named Andy Ngo was a victim of Antifa violence, theft and property damage. So he sued them, and had to press his case in a civil trial in front of a jury. Antifa tried to dox the jury members, in order to intimidate them. And the Antifa defense attorney told the jury that she was Antifa, and that she was memorizing their faces.
Here is the full story from The Post Millennial.
The jury has reached a verdict in the trial of investigative journalist Andy Ngo v. Rose City Antifa and its alleged affiliated members, in which they found both defendants John Colin Hacker and Elizabeth Renee Richter not liable in the civil case brought against them.
Ngo filed a complaint in Portland, Oregon in 2020, claiming assault and other injuries over alleged acts of violence carried out by members of Antifa, which began in 2019. Defandants John Colin Hacker and Elizabeth Renee Richter have been accused by Senior Editor of Post Millennial Andy Ngo of assault, battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress, which was argued before a civil jury for more than a week at the Multnomah County Courthouse.
Defendants Hacker and Richter, who allegedly work as Antifa’s “doxxers,” which after identifying Ngo had led to a series of physical beatings on May 28, 2021, were found by the jury on Tuesday not liable for all of these claims. Evidence provided during the trial, along with testimony given by both defendants, asserts Ngo’s claims in the complaint.
Just to be crystal clear, Antifa is a fascist group, that seeks to impose fascism on the United States. They are secular leftist domestic terrorists. The attacks on Andy Ngo were caught on video. So there is no doubt about the facts.
The part of this story that was concerning to me was how the defense attorney threatened the jury, and the judge allowed it to happen:
During closing statements, defense lawyer Michelle Burrows told the jurors that not only does she self-identify as both a progressive and an “anti-fascist,” she strongly declared, “I am Antifa” and insisted upon making herself an “I am Antifa” t-shirt, which she said she would wear after the trial.
[…]After announcing her retirement and that this would be her last trial, Burrows told the jurors that she “will remember each one of their faces.”
I think the lesson here is that this sort of “justice” is now normal in blue cities and blue states. If you live in one of these cities, then you cannot expect fair treatment from the police and the courts. The time to move to a red state is now. You cannot be paying taxes to people who use that money to persecute you.
