You have to do almost no detective work to find out what Andy is about. He's a right wing propagandist that runs with various alt-right groups that are more or less directly connected to white supremacists. He enjoys their protection for favorable coverage and hit pieces about the violent left. He carries their flag. That makes him a target. What ever immunity you get for being a journalist you lose once you start fabricating "news".
I've been following him ever since that incident a year ago. I am not seeing any white supremacist pieces from him. He's not even white. I saw the evidence awhile back that he had some loose connection at one point to a white supremacist group. Obviously not something I approve of, and it made me think less of him personally, but most of his coverage of Antifa is factual and well-researched.
Notice that my comments are not in defense of Ngo himself, but rather about Antifa's tactics of milkshaking people (and doing much, much worse than that).
Many of those they attack do not have any white supremacist connection whatsoever.
If I went to Portland and counter-protested Antifa, do you think there's a fair chance I would get milkshaked, beaten up, or worse?
