A Multnomah County Circuit judge on Tuesday ruled that left-wing “citizen journalist” John Hacker was not guilty of third-degree robbery in a May 2019 altercation with right-wing author Andy Ngo.
The dispute took place in a Northeast Portland gym where both men were members, and Ngo accused Hacker, 38, of dumping an unknown liquid on his head, hitting him and stealing his phone. Hacker said he was trying to stop Ngo from filming him.
