Oregon Journalist Andy Ngo Attacked By Antifa Members

[Mister Agenda]

The violence was not justified, but it wasn't purely a political disagreement. Ngo was well known and despised by Portland antifa members, not least for doxxing one of their members. There was a strong personal element to the attack, he was hated.

I don't condone brawling or other violence by antifa, but they have no equivalent to church, mosque, or synagogue shootings or the murder of Heyer. Their tactics are unacceptable and in my opinion do more to feed the right wing fear narative than to improve things (I think they should use strictly nonviolent protest), but in no way is US antifa an example of 'they do it too' without a body count.

When you attack someone without provocation, nothing else you have to say matters. It doesn't matter how much you hate someone or what they did to you. In the Western World, we call that assault. Not to mention, Ngo claims that he didn't doxx anyone; he named someone by first and last name and released a picture of them. Those are his word. To me, that's far different from releasing someone's personal phone number or home address, which antifa did to some 1500 ICE agents.

If nothing antifa says matters because a few of them assaulted someone, nothing the far right has to say matters because some of them have killed a lot of people. If your assertion was true, instead of being fallacious. It does not follow that if I assault someone, nothing I have to say matters. A murderer can write a profound book (and a couple have).

You seem to have a limited understanding of what doxxing is. And it doesn't follow that if antifa doxxed someone, some of them can't get mad about being doxxed themselves (hypocritical probably applies). The point was that there was a personal element to the attack, there's plenty of other far right peeps they didn't bother to attack, for some reason, the ones who became violent went after the person who had pissed them off the most. Go figure. The attack was completely unjustified, but it wasn't JUST political.
