Synopsis
A journalist who's been attacked by Antifa writes a deeply researched and reported account of the group's history and tactics.
When Andy Ngo was attacked in the streets by Antifa in the summer of 2019, most people assumed it was an isolated incident. But those who'd been following Ngo's reporting in outlets like the New York Post and Quillette knew that the attack was only the latest in a long line of crimes perpetrated by Antifa.

In Unmasked, Andy Ngo tells the story of this violent hate group from the very beginning. He includes interviews with former members of the group, people who've been attacked by them, and incorporates stories from his own life. The book will contain a trove of documents obtained by the author that he will publish for the first time in this book.

The store's owners are entirely correct to assert their right to sell books on a wide range of subjects, even if some of these books do not meet with the approval of far-left activists. Antifa takes the view that no one should be allowed to report critically on its activities. Despite their benign-sounding moniker (which is short for "antifascism"), people associated with antifa deliberately practice illiberalism: They wish to deny free speech protections to the far-right and its enablers, a group of enemies that antifa defines very broadly. Indeed, in this case, the enablers of fascism evidently include a book store that isn't even carrying the objectionable tome on its shelves.

Few acts of censorship are as overt as a mob deciding which books other people should be allowed to read. The authoritarian behavior of Portland's progressive activist community is a subject well worth exploring in book form.

Nevertheless, an angry crowd assembled outside the store’s Burnside location in Portland’s Pearl District, attaching signs denouncing Ngo to the windows.

The store closed early citing safety concerns. Demonstrators returned to the store again Tuesday, and a spokesperson confirmed to KOIN 6 News that they again closed early.
Powell’s announces it won’t sell Andy Ngo’s book in store

Ngo told KOIN 6 News he’s disappointed in the store’s decision to restrict sales, but that he understands Powell’s is in a difficult position.

“Given that Powell’s dedicates part of every year to banned and censored books, it’s a shame they’ve made the decision to restrict in-store sales of a book by a local author weeks ahead of release,” Ngo wrote. “However, I also have sympathy for them given how ruthless Antifa have been in vandalizing and hurting local businesses.”

The controversy may be good for sales, though. Ngo’s book, slated for release in February, rose to number one on the Amazon best sellers list following the social media furor.
 
lol at one point in US history -
back before the illiberals took over, forcing a store to pull books off the shelves was newsworthy

Yes. And? BTW Amazon sells physical books too.

And there are millions of bookstores across the country.

Do you find it surprising that Antifa in Portland would do something like this, if it's even them in the first place?
 
Powells is just barely still in business, clearly they dont feel that they have the power to stand up to the mob.

Antifa? America needs to concern themselves with MAGA, their the ones who stormed the Capital

Ngo is a Canadian conservative columnist, why would his partisan antidotal account of events mean anything more than his partisan antidotal account of events? Just another journalist selling a book

And it is amazing the mileage the right gets out of Antifa, it’s like the amoebian generalization they apply everywhere, something happened, Antifa did it, kinda like the “deep state,” fits anywhere. Wasn’t that long ago they had Soros funding all of Antifa activities, the right wing media had Antifa leading the charge last Wednesday, and even as late as Monday, Trump was blaming Antifa for the storming of the Capital (https://www.axios.com/trump-falsely...iot-bab4943c-d465-4d05-ae36-1e8d1437f168.html)

Antifa is a website on the dark web, kinda like QAnon, dimwits go there to get directs, it is not an organized group, has no real leadership, and is anything but the Brown Shirts the right likes to portray it as
