Yesterday I wrote about the civil lawsuit filed by Andy Ngo against individuals who are part of Rose City Antifa seeking $900,000. The group itself was dropped from the case along with one person Ngo settled with before the trial. Three other individuals have also been found “in default” which means the judge will decide what they have to pay Ngo once the trial is over. That leaves two people, John Colin Hacker and Elizabeth Renee Richter, whose responsibility is being decided in this case.

The first day of the trial featured opening statements from lawyers for both sides followed by testimony from Andy Ngo. Day two of the trial happened yesterday but wasn’t reported out by the Post Millennium’s Katie Daviscourt until early this morning. It started with a disruption in the court room.

While witness testimony from plaintiff Andy Ngo was delivered before the jury, alleged Antifa members disrupted the court proceedings, and the presiding judge threatened to hold individuals in contempt of court over alleged safety concerns and possible leaks of intelligence…

Judge Sinlapasai issued a robust warning indicating that strict security measures are in place due to alleged threats made before the trial. She threatened to hold parties in contempt of court if individuals fail to abide by the strict set of rules she enacted for the trial.

The actual testimony was about the May 28, 2021 attack in which Ngo was identified, chased and beaten before he took refuge in a local hotel.

Ngo testified that Hacker was the first person that had approached him that night. He allegedly asked Ngo a question about his goggles, wondering if he could see through them. When Hacker approached him, Ngo said that he “felt frozen” and refused to say anything because he didn’t want Hacker “to hear my voice.” He then recalled Hacker walking away…

Ngo testified that four people in black bloc, that came from the same area that Hacker and Richter were allegedly in, surrounding him, with one individual allegedly asking Ngo, “Why did you look so nervous tonight?” Ngo said that this question made him freeze.

Ngo tried to leave the area but he was followed and then chased.

Ngo testified that Richter was the second person to allegedly approach him that night after Hacker. Ngo explained that Richter did not say anything to him, but rather observed him & then walked away.

Video evidence submitted to the court that was taken by Richter & also obtained through surveillance cameras allegedly shows Richter approach Ngo as he hid inside The Nines Hotel.

The evidence allegedly shows Richter doxxing Ngo's location on her Twitter account, and the livestreams that she had recorded of the incident.

Screenshots of Richter's tweets shown as evidence were: "Folks are chasing down who they suspect is Andy Ngo. In the area by pioneer."

"Andy was discovered by one of our comrades who's a Fucking badass while Andy was in full bloc fyi. It had nothing to do with his facial appearance we couldn't see his face."

Richter allegedly made an additional reference to The Nines Hotel incident on May 28 of this year.

The issue with the evidence raised by the defense team pertains to it being meta data, which they said no expert on this matter is testifying during the trial.

Ngo's team argued that this evidence is critical to reveal, and that this data is often used in police investigations.

Ngo testified that this incident was the last straw. He left town and eventually moved to London, fearing he’d be killed if he remained in Portland.

After the incident on May 28, 2021, Ngo testified that he had no choice but to travel to different safe houses across multiple states before deciding to move to London to build a new life abroad due to safety concerns.

Ngo testified that he felt as if he had put his family's safety at-risk which added to his decision to flee and broke down while talking about his elderly parents.

I felt as if I had "let my parents, family, and ancestors down," Ngo said.

This was the incident that "broke him," Ngo testified.

"The triggers from this attack were severe. I kept thinking about that near death experience, how these people pinned me down, beat me, no body helping me, it was isolating and triggered my experiences of depression."

Here’s where he connects the costs associated with moving and extra security to the current lawsuit.

Ngo testified that he has spent tens of thousands of dollars in rent and security costs. Evidence of this was presented to the court which included an Air bnb invoice for more than $19,000.00, and thousands of dollars in security measures for his parents home.

So that’s about it for day two. Today, the third day of the trial, was set to resume with cross-examination of Ngo. Since no one in the room is allowed to tweet anything out, we’ll presumably get updates on what happened today sometime late tonight or early tomorrow morning.

Again, what’s striking is that this group of people can run around the streets in their matching costumes, collectively terrorizing someone and then claim in court that Antifa isn’t a group and they personally didn’t do anything. It would be nice if the court could somehow recognize that they are acting in concert for a common goal, just like bankrobbers. The guy who sits outside in the getaway car is just as guilty as the guys who went inside to collect the money because they are all working together.
