ANDY NGO UPDATE:
Amazing new footage emerges from a lawsuit showing Andy Ngo laughing as Patriot Prayer members plan an attack on patrons of a local bar.
Amazing new footage emerges from a lawsuit showing Andy Ngo laughing as Patriot Prayer members plan an attack on patrons of a local bar.
Here is a particularly damning clip, starting around 9 minutes into the video:
After several more discussions about weaponry, wind direction for mace, and being outnumbered, the group calls fellow members to recruit backup. They decide to go ahead with their plan to ambush the patrons at Cider Riot and start a brawl.
And they accomplish their goal.
From the Portland Mercury:
From the Portland Mercury:
One of the allegations by the owner of Cider Riot is that his patrons were injured by bricks thrown into the patio. Well, check out these images from the video showing a woman with a brick in her hand. Andy is the guy in blue. Thanks to @ayeleeyan for posting these stills.
And of course, Andy also posted misleading footage after the attack. He shows a woman aggressively approaching Patriot Prayer members in hysterics, and then a Patriot Prayer member hits her with some kind of club.
But as @imminentbulb pointed out, a full video shows the woman was attacked immediately prior to the start of Andy’s clip. If you listen to Andy’s clip, you can even hear one Patriot Prayer member frantically apologizing for the attack on her.
This is the same woman who Andy had filmed and identified to his followers. She was knocked unconscious and suffered a broken neck. Andy also published her name while she was in the hospital.
As more people send me clips, it becomes clear that Andy’s work is plagued by these dishonest edits. For example, in this clip, he edited out some goons stomping a man’s head, and did it with a sloppy looking jump-cut in his own clip.
There are so many examples of this, where Andy leaves out provocations by Patriot Prayer members and then shows the struggle afterwards.
Andy likes to present himself as if he’s “embedded,” like some glamorous combat photojournalist in the war against communism.
But something extremely disturbing is going on when a “journalist” gleefully accompanies and films a gang ambush on a private business and then presents video of that event in a slanted manner.
And what’s weird is that this whole episode has been common knowledge on Anti-Fascist Twitter for months.
Pretty much the only reason you’re hearing about it at all is because of a lawsuit. And yet even now, with Ngo’s laughable Portland coverage and the Cider Riot revelations occurring in the same week, the legacy media outlets who fawned over him have been conspicuously quiet.
In a world that made sense, this would be the end of Andy Ngo’s credibility and career. This is worse than InfoWars, worse than any of the dumb stunts Jacob Wohl pulled. But I have this funny feeling Andy is not going away.
Who knows? Maybe the screws are tightening. This week Joey Gibson and five others were arrested on felony riot charges in connection with the attack.
