The "Ngo is a journalist" argument is rather oversimplifying things. Yes, he is a "journalist" of sorts I guess, but one known to push far-right narratives (often false ones), one who doxxed a person who had her spline broken by a Proud Boys member (a far-right neo-fascist organization that promotes political violence). He's a bit more than just a "journalist" and clearly a direct antagonist to Antifa (and vice versa). He was threatened by Antifa with violence beforehand, but went anyway.
I can't see how his act of seeking confrontation with Antifa can be anything other than seeking to become a martyr. If that is indeed the case, then bravo Mr. Ngo, you did it. But don't cry about it. And you achieved little to none; we already knew that a rabid dog will bite when you get in their faces, thank you. Some journalism...
Should he have been beaten by Antifa? Of course not. Antifa is f*ing disgusting and f*ing stupid. Any extremist movement, left or right, is f*ing disgusting and f*ing stupid.
I don't think Antifa gets a free pass by the mainstream media either. This incident was widely reported by the likes of CNN, with them being also particularly critical of Antifa and ringing alarm bells here.
Ngo should be able to do what he wants to do without violence, sure. I hate to see that he was beaten up. I hate to see anyone being beaten up. But to be honest, I felt worse when I realized that I was out of eggs this morning.
