what was once an attempt to have a neutral justice system has vanished;

A Portland jury has found defendants John Colin Hacker and Elizabeth Renee Richter not liable in the civil case brought against them by the Senior Editor of the Post Millennial, Andy Ngo.

The "Andy Ngo v. Rose City Antifa and its alleged affiliated members" is the reporter's complaint from an attack back in 2020 in Portland. It claimed assault, battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress that began in 2019 and sought nearly $1 million in damages. The case was heard before a civil jury for over a week at the Multnomah County Courthouse.

Hacker and Richter, who both allegedly work as Antifa's "doxxers," were absolved by the jury for all of these claims. During the closing statements, defense lawyer Michelle Burrows said that despite Antifa's significant recorded history of violence, the group's unfavorable reputation is untrue and depicted the organized militant group as activists fighting for social justice and civil rights. And in defense of the anti-racist political movement, the attorney claimed: "Resistance in this country has never been peaceful.".........more.........
