#1 IIRC, the defense attorney threatened the jury.
I'm not a lawyer, but that seems like a reason for a mistrial. Or a directed verdict.

#2 Rambler in Virginia you are correct. The witneses were also threatened.

#4 Sends a message to protect yourself to citizens or leave. The current issue is that there is no fence installed to keep the crazies from visiting other places.

#5 "Ngo is gay and considers himself to be politically center-right. The Oregonian reported in 2021 that Ngo relocated to London, citing concerns for his personal safety. A Portland Police Bureau spokesman confirmed that Ngo filed at least 10 police reports about threats made to him or his family since June 2020."

#6 This is how the left in Portland see Ngo as described in the Portland Mercury. It portrays Ngo as:

"Ngo's antics have landed him on the Southern Poverty Law Center's Hatewatch lists, which describes him thusly:

"What Ngo has portrayed as his journalistic work largely consists of publishing anti-antifa, Islamophobic and transphobic tweets and articles to his sizable Twitter following, along with disseminating the arrest records and personal details of left-wing demonstrators."

Read the whole article to see how wide the cultural/political gap has become.

#7 Mr. Ngo was plain vanilla left of center until he went into town to see what the Antifa protests were all about. He only became conservative after they repeatedly physically attacked him, as I recall the progression.

#8 A metaphor for life.

#9 Folks, forget it. It's Oregon. Even Ngo's attorneys aren't sure what the next step is because there really isn't one. SCOTUS? LMAO - won't even get close. Breathe in deeply cuz this awaits us all.

#10 Oh, yeah. When everyone is resigned to the idea there's no justice to be had in the "system," look out below.

#11 #7 I'm rather taken aback by that. So are we to discount his "narrative" that is rather well documented by video? What exactly are you saying?
