![]() ![]() ![]() In May 2019, Ngo and Hacker interacted at a Portland 24 Hour Fitness. Hacker cried during testimony and said that watching what happened to Ngo was “heartbreaking.” Ngo said he doesn’t believe Hacker himself physically attacked him, but that he does know the identity of those who did and is covering for them. He confessed at this week’s trial that his main job is to “identify right-wingers infiltrate events.” His other job is “cop-watch,” or informing protesters of when police are approaching. His reports were geared towards those who supported the often-violent “anti-fascist” movement, of which he claimed to support. Hacker went to the same protests/riots reporting on the events. He posted mugshots, which are publicly available, of those arrested on his Twitter account. Ngo often went into protests-turned-riots clad in all black so as to blend in with those supporting Antifa in order to document what actually went on during the events, tactics used against the police, names of who was being arrested, the charges with which were filed against those individuals, and often later followed up with the outcome of those cases. Rose City Antifa had been dismissed as a defendant because, the court said, an “unassociated identity cannot be sued.” Evans, Allen, and Belyea were found in default, and their fate will be decided following the conclusion of this week’s main trial. On Tuesday, the defendants Hacker and Richter were found to be not liable for the damages caused by the beating and instances surrounding it, including, Ngo argued, assault, battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Ngo filed the suit seeking $300,000 in damages. The practice of releasing this information, known as “doxing,” led to Ngo filing a civil lawsuit against Hacker, along with Rose City Antifa and four other people tied to Antifa, Elizabeth Renee Richter, Joseph Christian Evans, Madison Lee Allen, and Corbyn Katherine Belyea. His identity was reportedly discovered years ago due to leftist journalist John Colin Hacker having reported his personal information following a heated interaction between the two at a 24 Hour Fitness at which they were both members. PORTLAND, OR – On multiple occasions since 2019, conservative journalist Andy Ngo has been brutally attacked by alleged antifa members while documenting Portland protests.
