A left-wing agitator known to Seattle police was caught on tape threatening independent journalist Andy Ngo with death during a left-wing antifa rally over the weekend. “Death is coming to you, dude,” the deranged agitator said while the police stood around and did nothing.
At that same protest, a police officer told the Portland-based journalist that he was “inciting conflict” just by virtue of his presence there.
On Saturday, a right-wing gun advocacy group called the Washington Three Percenters held a rally in downtown Seattle to protest media bias.
They were met by about 150 far-left counter protesters sponsored by: ANSWER Coalition, Freedom Socialist Party, International Socialist Organization, Organized Workers for Labor Solidarity, Party for Socialism and Liberation, Radical Women, and Seattle Democratic Socialists of America.
The conservative side reportedly obtained a permit for their rally, while the left-wing antifa side did not. Although the Seattle police, as usual, did not press the issue.
As an independent journalist in the Northwest, Andy Ngo has gained notoriety by “documenting the excesses of the far-left” fairly and accurately — something the MSM has failed to do.
As you can imagine, the psychotic antifa mob didn’t appreciate his presence at their “Say No to Misogyny, White Supremacy, and Anti-Semitism” counter-protest, and made their displeasure known.
Viewer discretion is advised for all of his videos, as they show the left in all of their ugly, unhinged, and profane glory.
Ngo was initially denied entry into their protest area because, as one of the agitators said, “he’s not one of us,” but an officer eventually helped Ngo inside.

Once inside the protest area, he was immediately set upon by hostile “antifascists” who pushed him, taunted him, screamed in his face with a bullhorn, and threatened him.

Local radio talk show host Jason Rantz spoke with one of the SPD cops who was working the protest.
“He never said he was on either side and was simply trying to document it,” the officer told Rantz. “Many in the protest were blocking his path and yelling at him or telling him he had to leave. They even went and played childish games by putting their hands about an inch in front of is face and said ‘I’m not touching you’ like a five-year-old would.”
A Bill Ayers look-alike dogged Ngo as he walked through the protest area, attempting to block him. “I’ll take care of security,” he said.
Others in the antifa crowd threatened to spray him with silly string like the antifa goons in Portland had recently done.
Later, a woman used a bullhorn to squawk out a bizarre diatribe in Ngo’s face:
“So here’s the thing about being an anti-fascist: we’re on the wrong side and they’re on the wrong side and we’re not ashamed to be anti-fascist,” the woman bellowed through the bullhorn as masked agitators looked on. “And if they think that they can come here and stick little teeny tiny weenie penis cameras in our faces to try to intimidate us, they can go take another thing because that is bullsh*t. We’re not intimidated by their bullsh*t. They think we’re intimidated, we’re not intimidated. We’re not going to take their provocation. We’re going to stand here and be very very clear. We’re antifascists and we want these a$$holes to go away!”
At that point she rallied the mob to chant: “Nazis go home, Nazis go home!”
Ngo wrote on Twitter: “It was so loud that I felt physical pain in my ear drums.”
This was a surreal moment: @SeattlePD officer came up and said I was "inciting conflict" and potential violence just by being there. If my physical presence in a public space makes someone else want to become violent, the problem is not with me. pic.twitter.com/08wM5KXwx0

After that, an officer informed the journalist that he was “inciting conflict” and might need to be removed from the area.
“This can become a public safety issue where it’s difficult for us to manage without other people potentially getting hurt,” the officer said. The officer didn’t explain how simply filming an event was incitement.
A particularly deranged agitator (wearing what looks like a Harry Potter scarf) taunted and perseverated in Ngo’s face before issuing a not-so-veiled threat:
“I can see in your eyes that you’ve got some Asian descent. Check your f*cking history,” he said. “The history shows you that you can’t trust your enemy but you’re using your enemy against us. Spying. Cuz it’s coming. It’s coming. I’m bringing the energy. That’s why they keep checking on me, you understand? Because they wanna know. I’m known to do this sh*t for real. Cuz some of us didn’t really come to talk, some of us really come to die, dude. Are you willing to die for a YouTube …? Yeah but that’s what’s gonna come. Death is coming to you dude. Real sh*t. You feel that energy? That’s why your heart’s pounding. I’m here to let you know judgement’s here and you spying and doing this bullsh*t — is gonna get you end up hurt.”

The agitator, who goes by the name Jamal X, is apparently well known to Seattle police and has been arrested in the past for his violent behavior during protests.
Ngo wrote on Twitter that he moved away from the antifa mob after being told that “death is coming.”
