Andy Ngo is an independent journalist who writes about Antifa and other anti-democratic monkey-wrenchers in Portland’s institutions. He mentioned OHSU4BLM as a group of medical students who were affiliated with Oregon Health and Sciences University. They were not looting, setting fires, or committing other violent acts.
Alt weekly was told that friends said that Bivins became more volatile due to the pandemic and that he had expressed anti-immigrant sentiments through social media.
Portland Mercury, an alternative weekly pro-Antifa, ignored Bivins’s far-Left ties in a story entitled, “Attacks on Three Religious Centers underscore Rising Hate Crimes In Oregon.” Mercury’s reporter was present at the announcement about Andy Ngo’s protest location, even though he knew the protestors wanted him to be attacked. The protestors then placed a wet cement milkshake over Ngo’s head and chased him through downtown Portland.
here’s the deal: within antifa, some are violent in ways that are detrimental to the image of an antifascist—but thats about the worst of it, whereas w the right-wingers you have racists & white supremacists mixed into the groups that come to portland to protest. which is worse?
