Portland activists, like myself, and those dedicated to writing about diverse social justice issues, (including such things as racism, sexism and cold case murders) have become concerned by the recent Andy Ngo ruling, in which 12 Portland jurors were blatantly intimidated and threatened with violence to such an extent that they allowed their fear to determine the outcome of an important court decision.
This is what the Mafia and totalitarian fascists do, they engage in intimidation tactics and threats to alter, control and dominate the values, ideas and behaviors of other people.
This is not what sane rational or moral Americans do, however, in what is supposed to be a free democracy wherein Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Expression and Freedom of Religion are encouraged and part of the US Constitution.
Because of intimidation tactics coming from an immoral and corrupt militant “Antifa” attorney, Michelle Burrows and others working within secret “Antifa” cells in Portland, Oregon, a jury ruled against Ngo in a lawsuit against two known “Antifa” radicals with long criminal histories of violence, instability and unemployment.
At one point while in court, Burrows, sporting a mop of brassy color treated hair, declared dramatically, “I am ANTIFA!” She then explained, comically, as an immature and infatuated teenager might, that she planned on buying a new Tee short with the logo I AM ANTIFA emblazoned across the front. Later, this strange and bizarre middle-aged woman warned all the jurors that she would “remember” all their “faces.”
A clear threat.
A threat of retaliation if the jurors did not rule how she wanted them to rule.
The accused in the lawsuit, by Ngo, were Miss Elizabeth Renee Richter, and Mr John Colin Hacker. Both militant “Antifa” radicals, are dedicated to engaging in violent assault, and intimidation tactics against those weaker than they are, offering up threats of continued violence to anyone who disagrees with them, and of course engaging in their garden variety commitment to destruction to property of all kinds.
Elizabeth Renee Richter is a large corpulent white woman with a matronly face, blue eyes and a routinely constipated expression. She is a woman who appears to be middle-aged, in her late forties from the look of her. She has bottle-dyed orange hair, and a skill-set that involves an admirable grasp of profanity and running, despite her considerable girth.
Richter has described herself as an “introverted single mother.” Unlikely, given her need for drama, violence and bullying typical of those who embrace Toxic Masculinity. One can only imagine what kind of “mother” Richter is, given her fragile grasp on her own unconscious motivations, lack of personal insight into her violent behavior, along with her pathological need for violence, and chaos.
John Colin Hacker is notable for the thick scarring, the result of severe burns that run across most of his face and body and his collection of alleged college degrees which appear to be gathering dust on a shelf somewhere, while he lives at home as a “stay-at-home-Dad.”
During the court proceeding, Hacker admitted he was wrong in many of his dealings with Ngo, and began to weep. He said he felt it was “heartbreaking” that Andy Ngo could not visit his elderly parents due to death threats, and that he empathized due to his own fractured relationship with his late father.
Both Richter and Hacker have dedicated their lives to the Toxic Masculinity inherent in the “Antifa” subculture, expressed through regular violence, misogynistic name calling, (BITCH! BITCH! BITCH!) all encapsulated in their failed efforts to create what they think of as their own special brand of toxic, violent “social justice.”
In a downtown Portland assault in 2021, Miss Richter threatened violence against Andy Ngo and suggestively intimated she was involved in a former assault, when she screamed at him while being filmed on camera:
“I can’t wait for you to come out, Andy! You thought the milkshakes were bad last time? We’re gonna beat the FUCK out of you, bitch!”
She was accompanied by The Hysterical Man, a mentally deranged man who bellows hoarsely at Ngo through the glass, demanding that he look at his face. “SCUM! NAZI SCUUMMM! YOU SEE MY FACE ANDY?! ANDY?! YOU. SEE. MY. FUCKIN’. FACE?!” Andy Ngo is an Asian man of color, and he is gay, both characteristics that are not associated with being a “Nazi” or even a conservative. Apparently this reality has not occurred to The Hysterical Man.
The Hysterical Man can barely be understood for the sheer force he places on his vocal cords in an effort to project his voice as loudly as is humanly possible.
The Hysterical Man, seems to be going through some kind of mental and cognitive breakdown of some kind, probably due to his unhappy childhood in which he didn’t get that bright shiny red tricycle at Christmas time, when he was seven-years-old.
(To gain insight into The Hysterical Man and his perspective, tune into this Joan Cusack scene at the 2:36 minute mark in the attached link, here).
Another man can be heard yelling: “We’re coming for you!” along with others screaming and not making much sense, other than the expected “bitch” expletive here and “bitch” expletive there, in true misogynistic, woman hating, fashion.
The atmosphere is bedlam, (social psychology at work) their collective hysteria creating the drama and excitement their lives apparently lack and which they seem to crave in order to feel alive or relevant.
From a clinical point of view, the rage and hysteria of these disturbed people is entirely misplaced. They are white people who have and continue to attempt to viciously assault and likely also murder a man, Andy Ngo. They are doing this simply because Ngo, an investigative journalist, has chosen to expose their cult of violence for the fascism that it is.
These confused, lost souls claim to fight against fascists, but their behavior mirrors fascism in every way, and represents the core definition of what fascism truly is.
Both of these violent misfits, Richter and Hacker believe in violence as the only possible answer if and when they come up against someone who believes something they do not. Whether it is political or even religious, they believe they have the right to beat down, injure and traumatize people who are socially or culturally different from them.
In one of the 2021 “Antifa” riots and assaults, which took place on Martin Luther King Boulevard in Portland, “Antifa” radicals destroyed several Black owned businesses and several cars also owned by Black people. Clearly these confused, uneducated and misguided individuals are not capable of doing even rudimentary research, at a junior college level and like rabid dogs, they just rush in, at the slightest hint of a rumored flash mob, gathering together, as “social justice warriors” fighting for people of color, while also destroying Black owned cars and three Black owned businesses.
Of the sentenced radical extremists is a man named Malik Fard Muhammad, now 26, was sentenced to ten long years in federal prison, for his role in the 2020 “Antifa” riots. In these riots he targeted Portland police officers and others present, intentionally trying to cause violent bodily harm and grave injury to them.
“On September 23, 2020, protesters set fire to and broke windows at the Multnomah County Justice Center. When officers advanced toward the crowd, an individual threw a Molotov cocktail in a large yellow growler that landed in front of the officers, shattered, and exploded into a large fireball. While some officers were able to move out of the way, one officer’s leg caught fire. Several videos obtained by law enforcement show Muhammad throwing the explosive device.”
“As part of his sentencing, Muhammad forfeited or abandoned his interest in a 12-gauge shotgun, an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, a second rifle, a pistol, assorted ammunition, and all seized Molotov cocktail components and ingredients.”
Another “Antifa,” radical, Nikki Hubbard, now 39, has been sentenced to a four year prison term. Hubbard identifies as a woman, but he remains a biological male and has engaged in extreme violence repeatedly over the years. Including…
“The defendants, dressed in black, with their faces covered, engaged in various attacks, according to prosecutors. Some of the victims were pepper-sprayed. One was assaulted with a stun gun. Another was attacked with a flag pole and wooden lawn chair.”
“Before Hubbard was sentenced, her husband told the court that she grew up in the foster care system and was once homeless. This is political and fascist nonsense,” Hubbard’s husband said of the case.”
Another militant “Antifa” Gage Halupowski, now 28, was sentenced to six years in prison, in 2019 for assaulting a man with a metal baton, and causing a bloody and severe head injury.
Other “Antifa” radicals that have been charged, fined or incarcerated are..
And the list continues to grow. So, while Andy Ngo lost his 2023 lawsuit against two violence obsessed criminals, Antifa continues to weaken nationwide and more and more people recognize it for the Cult of Violence that it has become.
Portland is also losing it’s younger population, as more and more 20-somethings continue to leave Portland. Many longtime Portlanders are happy to hear this is a continuing pattern, with some stats indicating that over 18,000 Portlanders have abandoned the sinking ship that is Portland, Oregon since 2020.
Many of us Portland lifers say, Bon Voyage and happy Sails. Don’t let the door slap your collective fanny’s on the way out, kiddos!
