F$#@ With the Bull

In a blatant attempt at legal harassment, right-wing terrorist Andy Ngo sued some Portland activists who had nothing to do with his getting beaten up.

The jury rejected his argument, "Yadda, yadda, yadda, Antifa."

Good for them:

Jurors rejected right-wing writer Andy Ngo’s attempt to hold two left-wing activists accountable for the beating he received after going undercover at a Portland protest in 2021.

After a yearslong legal battle, the Multnomah County jury of six men and six women deliberated for about five hours before delivering a verdict Tuesday clearing activists John Hacker and Elizabeth Richter of all civil liability.

………

In a phone interview, Hacker said he wasn’t surprised with the result.

“The legal system — they’re not his Twitter followers,” Hacker said. “They’re not going to fall for his lies.”

………

Ngo had sought a combined $300,000 from Hacker and Richter, including more than $115,000 for his relocation to London, arguing that their actions had made it impossible for him to continue his on-the-ground reporting about the city’s social strife. 
This is like Idi Amin suing the Tanzanian president Julius Nyerere for interfering with the drafting of his cook book.
