Heroic Americans against facism: Antifa viciously attacks journalist in Portland who had previously chronicled their illegal activities

[gimmick]

The hoax part was that an innocent journalist was attacked unprovoked just because of his exquisite exposes of Antifa violence.

You have no way of knowing that the attackers didn't know more about him. He was from Portland, this happened in Portland and likely the attackers were from Portland. It's kinda likely they knew what he was about. It was them he was vilifying with creative editing and blatant lies.

You apparently don't know the definition of hoax.

And that's exactly why he was attacked -- because he was an unabashed right wing journalist, frequently exposing Antifa.

Had Antifa known about his less-than-stellar associations, this would have come out two months ago when the attacks occurred and Antifa was being vilified for it, rather than now.

And you know what? Even if Ngo associated with scumbag alt-right groups, that's still no reason to attack him in a public setting. Similarly, if right-wingers beat up Antifa sympathisers at a public event, who weren't doing anything other than showing up there, you'd be correct to cry foul (and I'm sure you would be).

It's very simple....

YOU

DON'T

BEAT

PEOPLE

UP

BECAUSE

OF

THEIR

POLITICS

He wasn't beat up because of his politics. He was beat because he was accomplice to violence, fabricated news stories and covered up crimes for the far right.

Just look at the lawsuit that brought this up. Just from that incidents reportage you know what victim Andy is about. When you're at the other end of a lie, you know it's a lie.

You don't get privileges of a journalist when don't uphold to standards of journalism. It's not really rocket science.

More than likely he was kicked from Quillette because what he did has nothing to do with free speech. Free speech doesn't cover making shit up about other people.
