CNN) Nothing quite exemplifies “tolerance” like <\/em>the video<\/em><\/a> of masked young people hurling objects and screeching profanities at a young, conservative journalist. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The viral images are sickening. Andy Ngo, a photojournalist and editor at the online magazine Quillette, who has made a cottage industry o<\/em>f exposing instances of manufactured hate crimes<\/em><\/a>, was <\/em>viciously assaulted<\/em><\/a> while covering an Antifa rally held as a counter-protest to a <\/em>rally of right-wing groups,<\/em><\/a> including the Proud Boys, in Portland, Oregon. “Antifa” derives from “anti-fascist,” and is associated with aggressive, hard-left activism. The video shows masked protesters circling Ngo, punching and hitting him and dousing him with a <\/em>“milkshake,<\/em><\/a>” then following him as he flees. One hurls something at his back. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regular, and potentially lethal, violence by masked-protester assailants is too often excused and condoned by <\/em>Twitter-warriors.<\/em><\/a> This must not be our new normal. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
