Swarms of Anonymous Trolls descending on this thread to shout "fake news!" in...3...2...1...

@1: Yes, and until they arrive you'll have time to brush up on your talking points.

It's always awkward when your group of "white nationalists" has a black, a latino and an Asian dude with them.

A 48 minute Time To First Troll is still within Glavset guidelines, but we expect better, boys. This is pretty slack even for the end of swing shift.

Another person he includes in the “grifter” category: Andy Ngo, a conservative writer who’s built a Twitter persona around filming fights between antifa and right-wing extremists (that, and trying to convince people that hate crime allegations raised by LGBTQ+ Portlanders are simply “hoaxes”).

Ngo tags along with Patriot Prayer during demonstrations, hoping to catch footage of an altercation. Ben says Ngo doesn’t film Patriot Prayer protesters discussing strategies or motives. He only turns his camera on when members of antifa enter the scene.

“There’s an understanding,” he says, “that Patriot Prayer protects him and he protects them.”

It's pretty goddamned embarrassing that The Stranger used this guy as a source multiple times, and I predict it's going to get more embarrassing

wow, seems like maybe katie should write something about "journalist" andy ngo failing to report that he was there listening and laughing while patriot prayer goons planned the cider riot attack

Why do we have the "+" in LGBTQ+? I thought that was what the "Q" was for.

Oooh, COCOINTELPRO!

I'll be honest I don't really believe this article (I don't quite understand identifying the mole in every possible details except real name - seems like he's being throw under the bus), but we'll see.

@9 They’re taking political cosplay to a whole new level in Portland.

@2:

Didn't have to wait very long, did we?

"“I’m a big, beardy white guy from Vancouver—I blend in,” says Ben. "I was cashing in on my privilege.”"

How did the black dudes get in then? I'm imagining the KKK scene is "O Brother, Where Art Thou?", but in Portland and everyone in cosplay outfits?

Thank you, Alex Zielinski, for sharing.an excellent article.
Bravo, Ben! As a disabled U.S. Navy (Gulf War) veteran, I salute you for your service to our country, and undercover work to bring real terrorists like Joey Gibson to justice. Well done, and so right on--"This is what patriotism looks like.".
@2: Uh-oh. Looks like you just stepped into something warm and brown, sugarlips. :)
@1 & @11 COMTE: Lol--I know, right?

" As a disabled U.S. Navy (Gulf War) veteran"

After running gun boats up the Euphrates, did you trip over while wearing Birkenstock and socks?

"tall, thirtysomething man with a reddish-blond beard and pale skin. He’s easy to spot in a crowd. It doesn’t hurt that he always wears the same shirt to rallies: a red tee emblazoned with the Marvel Comics antihero Deadpool."- so much for anonymity.

@16 Larry, @17 Curly, and @18 Moe: Is it little slow down at juvee for Trumpty Dumpty's favorite Three Stooges? We all know it's you, TeeHee. Still can't see past your mein Trumpfy belly, huh? Maybe if you lay off the BigMacs and went on a treadmill, you could get rid of a lot of shit.
@17: I was a supply clerk for the Navy SEALs. Have you ever served your country?
I'm guessing not, Curly Sue.

What does Ngo know and how long did he know it?

Both sides are dangerous, impulsive, self-centered testosterone personified. It’s more like the movie “The Warriors” than WWII. Portland has become a big sandbox for their pointless school yard scuffles, and I’m sincerely concerned about the safety of me and my kids as we get ready to vacation there this week.

@20- wtf are you on about? Don't lump me in with those other two. Get back on the meds, sweety.

There should be a dedicated arena where anyone who wants to beat on each other can go. We can sell tickets to the spectacle and donate the proceeds to the homeless. This way something good can come out of this nonsense.

One wonders if Herzog is reevaluating her chumminess with Ngo?

3 Internalized racist culture transcends the shell.

*wide. Jesus Christ. Lol.

@27, @28 & @29: Don't flatter yourself. I don't date trolls. How pathetic that it takes you multiple comments just to make a word salad, and you can't even spell correctly. I feel sorry for your wife. Does she "home school" you?

@30. Well you can blame my auto-correct on that. I use my phone to comment because, unlike your fat ass sitting at the comp all day waiting for replies, I actually work and/or have better shit to do. Maybe you should get a job. Oh wait. I forgot your money-making hole dried up decades ago. And it is, sadly, too late to think of a career change for your old ass, instead of whoring out your ol' pisser for pocket change and crystal meth in the alley. Sad, really. :(

@31: Anyone needing SpellCheck as well as auto-correct on a DumbPhone, STILL can't spell and never met me face to face so you wouldn't recognize me if you saw me is pathetic (look the word up in Webster's dictionary--see your trolling face). You claim to have a job, and yet you comment here 24 /7. How's your hangover, TeeHee? Are the opiates wearing off, yet? Does your mom still pack your lunch?

@34. Hahahahahahahaha! Siting SPLC, a racist and sexist organization, to "call out" racism! Now that's rich! :)
