Why was he there?
Andy Ngo was reporting for The Spectator, the oldest continuously published magazine in the world. Are you now justifying the beating up or perhaps even murder of journalists?
I was there, too -- on my bike. I turned left, avoided the police wagon with all the guys on the running boards
Who did nothing while Ngo was beaten into a coma.
and went for a spectacular ride through the West Hills. It was a beautiful day, and Sunday was equally beautiful and even a bit warmer, so I rode out to he https://i.redd.it/rj1qoaidmtx21.jpg 80 mile speed run with a single stop for a selfie at the falls to text back to my wife. Via he https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLUcbgpVIpw I never get tired of that ride.
Christabel Bielenberg, a niece of the British press barons Northcliffe, Harmsworth, and Rothermere who lived in Germany throughout the Nazi era and the war, described well how the Germans got on with their lives a stones throw from the deathcamps. See her 1968 book The Past is Myself.
Anyone who shows up for these clown-shows is seeking retribution or martyrdom or both. Ngo -- righteous martyr for the conservative cause, and he has the YouTube video to prove it!
Ngo was working, doing his job as a journalist. That's a nauseating bit of shystring by you, blaming the victim for being beaten into a vegetable. What's more, it is prima facie hypocrisy: if it were a left-wing journalist put into hospital by masked thugs, you'd be outraged.
I don't like Antifa either, and particularly when they tie up traffic or harass civilians. But I could care less about the usual suspects who show up to antagonize each other.
Antifa is a bunch of street corner thugs not even bright enough to have a cohesive theory of their attraction to violence. The only fascists in America today with even a pretense to a theory -- corporatism and homosexuality-- is the Democratic Party, with Antifa doing its wet work, as they just did on Andy Ngo to cheers from the same-old media mouthpieces for the Clintons.

These students are so badly educated that they think what they think and do is new. It isn't:
"In Italy the fascists are divided into two categories: the fascists and the anti-fascists." -- Ennio Flaiano (couldn't find a date but sometime in the 1950s or 1960s)
"The lofty idea of 'the war on racism' is gradually turning into a hideously false ideology. And this anti-racism will be for the 21st century what Communism was for the 20th century: a source of violence." -- Alain Finkielkraut, 2005
"In the Democrats' northern fiefdoms the cops increasingly behave as they did in the party's old southern fiefdoms - they're there not to keep the peace but to ensure that their buddies in the Klan - whoops, sorry, I mean Klantifa - get to give the designated "troublemakers" a bloody good hiding." -- Mark Steyn, 2019
Of course the genuine fascists of the Hitlerite stripe held their Kristallnacht for precisely the same reason as Antifa practices its violence, their inchoate claim that the free thought and speech of others is an aggression that justifies violence. Scum is as scum does. The Democratic leadership and flackery defending and egging on Antifa are equally scum. And so are their fellow-travellers and apologists, every single Democrat who doesn't condemn these events and Antifa forthrightly and unequivocally. Furthermore, attempts at moral equivalence ("Why was he there?" "Anyone who shows up for these clown-shows is seeking retribution or martyrdom or both.") are an insult to our intelligence.
What do you call masked scum beating up a journalist and stealing his equipment? See
https://twitter.com/stillgray/status...05193647759360. What do you call the police who stand by and let it happen?

I'd say "scum" is a mild epithet
