Shameful not to report on mob attack

Posted July 08, 2019 1:00 am

Recently, a Portland, Oregon, hooded and masked leftist Antifa mob brutally assaulted Andrew NGO, an Asian American gay journalist and editor for the website Quillette, while the Portland police stood by and watched.

Mr. NGO, who was beaten, scratched, and had liquids thrown on him, was treated in a hospital emergency room and released. Video of the incident is readily available on the internet.

His website, Quillette, says it "is a platform for free thought. We respect ideas, even dangerous ones. We also believe that free expression and the free exchange of ideas help human societies flourish and progress. Quillette aims to provide a platform for this exchange."

Not one word or article about this horrible incident in your newspaper. This is at least the 15th attack on journalists by Antifa mobs, yet you ignore these mob actions.

Shame on you.
