Folks, no need to fight. Solves nothing. Would much rather see your comments on the present issue. Have provided food for thought.

Added: Here's the Willamette Week story. Andy Ngo has more guts than a slaughterhouse. The terrorists' whining and complaining are epic.


Portland Protesters Say Their Lives Were Upended by the Posting of Their Mug Shots on a Conservative Twitter Account
What Andy Ngo is doing is legal. The mug shots are public records. And Ngo told WW that it is his “duty” to report on protesters who have been arrested.

On Aug. 7, Black activist Ragina Gray was tackled by Portland police at a protest and charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and interfering with an officer.

That same day, conservative Portland activist Andy Ngo shared Gray's name and mug shot on Twitter.
"Gray, 30, is charged with interfering with an officer, resisting arrest and more," Ngo wrote on Twitter. "She was arrested at the violent antifa protest in Portland and quickly bailed out. Gray is frequently photographed with kids at protests and rants about white terrorism." The photo was retweeted by 475 people.



Twelve nights later, on Aug. 19, a man showed up on the doorstep of Gray's mother's eastside home. "He was sweaty and nervous looking, and he asked for Ragina by name," says Lucinda Fisher, Gray's mom. "He mentioned [Gray's] son, and I noticed he had a gun in his hand." Fisher slammed the door and called the police.

Gray's children, 9 and 4, whom she brought to protests with her prior to her arrest, fear for her life. (Way to go,
"Terrorist Mother of the Year". - JS)

"They're scared that someone's going to kill me," Gray says. "My first instinct is to say, 'No, that's not going to happen.' But there's a huge risk."

Gray has no direct evidence that Ngo's robust social media presence is the reason an armed man arrived at her mom's house.

Ngo's prominence has been catapulted by Portland's protests. He is editor-at-large at a Canadian conservative website called The Post Millennial and is also a regular guest on Fox News. Last year, he was assaulted at a Portland anti-fascist march, where masked assailants punched and kicked him in the head.

Ngo has more than 700,000 followers on Twitter, many of whom share the belief that Portland protesters are a threat to national security.

But Gray believes Ngo and his followers are watching her. And she is not the only one. WW has spoken with two others who have been arrested at Portland protests and had their names and mug shots tweeted by Ngo, and claim their lives have since been disrupted.

"We've been lying low, and to be honest, we've been staying at home with the blinds closed," says Phillip Wenzel, whose mug shot was shared by Ngo on Aug. 15. "I can get over Twitter trolls, but what gives me the most pause is the 1% of them that have genuine threats."

Critics call Ngo's posts "doxxing," or posting personal information about people to make their lives unpleasant.

But what Ngo is doing is legal. The mug shots are public records. The arrests happened. And Ngo told WW that it is his "duty" to report on protesters who have been arrested, "given the risk that violence and riots present to the public."
Ngo wrote WW via email: "I believe my duty as a journalist includes informing the public about individuals who are believed by criminal authorities to be sufficiently dangerous to the public that they meet the standard for arrest."

Portland couple Erin and Phillip Wenzel started their evening Friday, Aug. 14, as they have more than 10 times before that.

They donned their protest outfits: full gas respirators, masks, bike helmets, and a bulletproof vest for Philip, who had been in the front of protests as part of the drum line. Erin, a medic toting a first aid kit, usually settled in a few rows behind the line of drummers.

That night, Phillip was arrested when the two of them were sandwiched between two lines of officers during a smoke-filled, chaotic confrontation captured on video that shows several protesters cowering under yellow shields as cops push them to the ground.

A video of Wenzel's interaction with police shows him shielding his face on the ground as a half-dozen cops tackle him. He was arrested, charged with assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest, interfering with police, and disorderly conduct, and released the next day.

The next morning, Ngo posted his mug shot on his Twitter account, writing that Wenzel was "arrested at the violent #antifa protest."

Ngo also posted a biography of Wenzel from the law firm where he works as a paralegal. In Twitter responses on the thread, users added threatening comments and more personal information about the Wenzels, including the names and ages of members of his extended family.

One comment read, "I'm writing a letter to his employer right now." Another wrote, "Divorce and custody court paralegal scumbag who isn't even smart enough to be an attorney. Lol."

The Wenzels quickly deactivated all their social media accounts: Twitter, Instagram, Facebook.

The next day, Phillip Wenzel received a voicemail threat on his cellphone from somebody named John in Michigan, who said, "I'll have you know I'm 7 foot and 280 pounds."

The Wenzels alerted their employers. On Aug. 18, three days after Ngo posted the mug shot, Phillip Wenzel's boss at Elizabeth Christy Law Firm sent him a letter that the firm had received 50 threatening or harassing communications since his arrest.

"Because you have chosen to engage in activism that has resulted in violence, physical injuries, and negative publicity for [the law firm], there is now a major distraction from the business we are doing, a threat to my ability to gain new business, and a threat to our employees' safety," Christy wrote in an email provided to WW.

Three employees, after learning of the firm's response to Wenzel's arrest, announced their resignation in support of him on Sept. 10, in a letter shared with WW. The firm told Wenzel in a Sept. 11 letter that he would be laid off effective Sept. 16, citing a loss of work leading to a reduction in staff. Elizabeth Christy, managing attorney at the firm, told WW in an email that the layoff had nothing to do with Wenzel's protesting.

Both Wenzels say they now suffer from anxiety. Wenzel shaved his beard to change his appearance and now wears a hat when he walks his dog.

April Epperson, who works at a Northeast Portland public school, is another protester who was arrested for disorderly conduct and interfering with a peace officer on Aug. 24 and was greeted that same day by a Ngo tweet sharing her mug shot and Facebook profile picture with part of the caption reading, "Like others recently arrest[ed], she works with children at an elementary school." Several commenters on the subsequent Twitter thread shared the name of the school.

On Aug. 29, an email arrived in her school inbox: Attached were her Facebook profile photo and a picture of a toad in a dress with a caption reading, "So fucking badass with your face covered? We can't wait to come to your employer and do the exact same fucking thing you do to cops!"

Epperson alerted the school about the email. That weekend, the school canceled a laptop distribution event scheduled the following Monday, Aug. 31. A school text blast sent to families read, "We are pausing [device distribution] for tomorrow. We will resume as soon as possible and alert you when that is. As a reminder, school grounds, including the playground, are closed."

Although the school did not explain its decision, Epperson believes the laptop distribution was postponed because of threats. (Portland Public Schools didn't respond to WW's request for comment.) Still, the messages continued. "The school started getting a bunch of phone calls and emails," Epperson says. "People emailed [some staff members] my mug shot and told them I was arrested."

One email, sent Sept. 1 from a secure email address using the name "Jennifer Hartless" and shared with WW, includes a screenshot of Ngo's tweet of Epperson's mug shot. The photo is captioned, "This type of behavior seems a little unbecoming for a school teacher. Are standards any higher than this?"

Tim Gleason, professor of journalism at the University of Oregon, says Ngo's posts of mug shots are dangerous because of his targeted audience.

"There's some (Bitch, please! First Amendment works for everyone, right? - JS) legitimacy to a claim of informing the public. But we have a pattern with this individual that his interest is in provoking violent reactions and doxxing," says Gleason. "It's a particular subset of conservative Twitter, and he knows that's who he's talking to."

In his response to questions from WW, Ngo contends he is taking on violent criminals that other journalists are afraid to confront.

"If you feel that transparency and public right to know should be outweighed by arrestee rights to privacy, this is a complaint for the Legislature, not for journalists reporting in compliance with state and federal law," he said. "A better question would be, 'Why do some journalists feel compelled to hide the identities of suspected criminals from the public?' Another would be, 'Whose interests does the suppression of criminal arrest data serve?'"

Ragina Gray continues to attend protests, despite threatening messages she receives on Instagram and Twitter. She says she deletes them as soon as she gets them, but says "people are calling me a terrorist, calling me a n—–." And the messengers, she says, are "Mostly white men. All white men." (Hey, they could have made you "strange fruit" in front of your kids. Get the message. Behave. - JS)


Her mother named her Ragina. Ragina. Does it rhyme with vagina? That's just cruel. No wonder she is mad at the world.
 
That's possibly unconstitutional as excessive bail under the 8th Amendment? The arrested protesters would still have to advance that argument and appeal it up the court system and they're stuck in jail while doing so, but just because a judge gets tired of shit and says "lol bail is 1 million dollars" doesn't mean it'll necessarily stick.

Except $1mil isn't unreasonable, when they have verifiable & blatant backing from BLM & antifa slush-funds, which aren't exactly cash-strapped.
 
@Evo get down with the red white and brown confederacy, along with every other color that’s sick of this insurrection.
I dunno. No reason he can't be most concerned for his own cause (and fate). Fighting others' battles is what started this whole fucking mess.
 
I gotta disagree, Castro sent him to Africa with a handful of Cuban special forces and despite considerable Cuban military support for the communists in the conflict, Che's band got almost nothing. The same in Bolivia. Che got the very bottom of the rusting barrels in Cuban military depots as far as materiel, WW2 era walky-talky combat radios that didnt work and stuff like that. Castro wanted him gone because Moscow wanted him gone and kept sending him out until he was gone. After he returned to Cuba following his anti Soviet spergout, he was basically on house arrest and only rarely seen in public, always surrounded by secret police. Yes Castro doubted anything could be done in Bolivia, but in the end he said sure Che go knowing how impossible the mission was and that Che would receive no support from him or anyone else because the Soviets would have their own spergout if Castro actually tried to help him there. At that point, Che was essentially unofficially purged and Castro didnt have to listen to him about shit. If he had wanted to say no Che you arent going fuck off already, that's how it would have been. But he didnt. Maybe Castro felt bad and regretted it after the fact, but he did not feel bad at the time sending Che off to certain failure and very probable (certain, as it turned out) death in Bolivia.
Hit that button by mistake
No, Guevara's "disappearance"" was deliberate and done in preparation for the Bolivia op. Castro was close to Guevara and actively tried to prevent him from leaving but Guevara was persistent. It's no secret he didn't approve of the Bolivia op. Castro was not alone in voicing his opposition. To say he wanted him gone is a stretch given what people who were there and knew both men said about the situation. We will have to agree to disagree.

The Soviets didn't seem to like Guevara's internationalism; in fact I don't think they cared for any involvement in the Americas for political reasons., When Cuba became actively involved in Angola the USSR was very slow to respond to Castro's requests for materiel in that conflict. Castro was heavily involved and directed operations from Havana. Angola was a success and you have to hear what the Angolans, Cubans and South Africans say about it. It's a shame there's not much written or documented about it. I know Raul Castro was also involved and seeing as he's the last Commandmente de la Revolucion still alive I'd be very interested in his recollection of it.

Scott Williams says he doesn’t remember hearing gunshots or feeling the bullets that created nine holes in his body.

Scott Williams
Steven Ray Baca, 31, is charged with two felony counts of aggravated battery causing bodily harm for shooting Williams and for forcefully throwing Julie Harris to the ground during a protest over the controversial Juan de Oñate statue outside the Albuquerque Museum in Old Town on June 15.
A preliminary hearing to determine whether there’s probable cause for Baca’s case to move forward in the 2nd Judicial District Court was held via Google Meet on Thursday. It will continue Friday before Judge Cristina Jaramillo makes her decision.

Baca is also charged with misdemeanor counts of battery for pushing another woman to the ground, and unlawful carrying of a deadly weapon.
One of his attorneys, Jason Bowles, said Baca acted in self defense by shooting Williams because Williams and another man hit Baca with a skateboard. Bowles also said the battery on Harris should not be a felony.

Steven Ray Baca
Williams said Thursday that he ended up with nine holes in his body and is still recovering from the injuries. He said he stayed in the hospital for four or five weeks and is dealing with nerve damage in his right leg, broken ribs and bullet fragments in his pelvis.
“I don’t remember hearing any shots,” Williams said. “I don’t remember feeling any shots. I remember smelling gunpowder, taking a few steps and then falling down.”
Williams said he recalls having a hard time breathing after being shot. His father, a retired EMT who was also at the protest, was one of the first people to get to him.
Prosecutor John Duran showed the judge video depicting the confrontation between Williams and Baca. It was choppy due to it being streamed over the internet.
Only four gunshots can be heard in the video. Williams said he didn’t know why he had so many wounds and didn’t know how many times he was shot.
Williams said he saw Baca fighting with two other people and wanted to break up the fight. After seeing Baca pull out a gun, Williams said he used a skateboard to try to knock the gun out of Baca’s hand.
“As I moved closer, at some point in time, I saw that Baca had a gun,” Williams said. “… I was terrified that he was going to shoot those two.”
People in the crowd started confronting Baca after he threw Harris to the ground.
Harris said Thursday that she was blocking people from getting too close to the statue because demonstrators with a pickax and rope were trying to bring it down, and she was scared it was going to fall on someone. She can be seen on video blocking Baca with her back toward him.

“That’s when I felt him grab my armpit and pull me, and he used his other hand to push my head down, and I slammed into the ground,” Harris said.
Harris said her ribs hit the concrete first before her head snapped and hit the concrete.
“I’ve never hit my head so hard in my life,” Harris said. “I’m still shook. I can’t believe this happened.”
Cody Slama testified that Baca stood next to him after throwing Harris to the ground.
“I got my skateboard and I swung it at him, and I hit him in the shoulder,” Slama said.
Slama said he went to tackle Baca after Baca pepper sprayed him and others. Baca got up after being taken down and pulled out a gun, video shows.
Vivian Norman said during the hearing that Baca pushed her to the ground as she was grabbing a sign from a counterprotester.
“I walked up the side of the statue and grabbed the sign out of her hand and threw it like a frisbee immediately,” Norman said. “As I was grabbing the sign, I was thrown to the ground.”
Norman said she had cuts and bruises on her knee.
Baca was initially charged with shooting Williams, but the charge was dropped by District Attorney Raúl Torrez pending further investigation. The charge was refiled about month after the shooting.

This is a battle of every person who has a thinking brain inside their cranium. Make no mistake, it’s a pretty simple game, but the rules and the players and even the game itself have been obfuscated.

The simple game is knowing right from wrong.
 
Bloomberg CityLab analyzed traffic stops in Minneapolis before and after Fenty Floyd died. There are far less stops today and they decided that is because the evil po-po are neglecting their jobs, not because most violent crimes are up and the city is on track to double its homicide rate compared to last year.

There's proof that ICE contracted with a gynecologist who's crazy incompetent, and it's alleged he did some questionable shit to detainees, including performing unnecessary hysterectomies. But there's no proof this was done on a mass scale.

Best thing about it is that the doc is some kind of pajeet, so there goes the white supremacist angle. Er wait, weren't the Indians the original Aryans?

Fair enough. But I see no reason he can't fight his war, and others fight theirs, as long as the enemy falls. It's not as if Churchill and Roosevelt felt anything but disdain for the Red Army, but all allies did their thing and won the war. Then we all went after USSR. I don't share @Evo 's vision, but that fight comes later, if it must. I get a bad "you need to bend the knee " vibe from your first post. The time for bending knees is over, not that there ever was a proper time for it to begin with.
 
Yeah what is scott Williams up to? The mug shot is a counter protestor. Is he a cripple like blake?

Inquiring minds want to know.
Williams said Thursday that he ended up with nine holes in his body and is still recovering from the injuries. He said he stayed in the hospital for four or five weeks and is dealing with nerve damage in his right leg, broken ribs and bullet fragments in his pelvis.
It sounds like he is recovering.
