Cmon crag, don't strawman me.
First: How is me saying that he was sprayed with silly string equivalent to promoting violence against somebody because they're Asian? Slow down, don't make it sound like I had a racist agenda - him being Asian has nothing to do with me thinking that he's a grifter. Also "life-threatening" is a nice hyperbole for saying "
over night hospital stay".
Second: Ngo is an accessory for far-right groups, a propagandist.
He follows far-right groups around in protests, hoping to film a brawl between them and antifa while being practically complicit with plans to escalate the situations as it aides his career and provides material that he seeks (and I guess that's why you even know about him). He's been bashing the left while promoting the far-right for years - him getting targetted by antifa was a self-fulfilling prophecy.
He's a sheep helping and hanging out with the wolves. By choice.
You can't probably be arsed to inform yourself too much, but at least read this article:
Undercover activist talks about how a Mayday clash came about and Ngo's role in it.
Ngo's lawyer demanded a retraction of that article, although he's clearly visible in the video where they plan the attack.
Ngo even justified Proud Boys/Patriot Prayer violently knocking out a woman with a baton to the head during the very confrontation they were planning in the above article (he also doxxed her in the process):

So even if I had been insinuating that head injuries resulting from violence were fine...shouldn't you then also criticize Ngo for the same reason?
And some others:
Proud Boys offered Ngo protection, indicating deliberate collaboration - what the above article also claims.
In depth profile of Ngo
And another profile
Even wikipedia has dedicated a section to Ngo's clashes with antifa,
because that is what he seeks:

I called him (and Carlson) out, because people like him are warping people's perception of what is actually going on - deliberately: either because of money and fame or because of ideology. Or all of that.
The US media landscape, with its strive for division and hysteria as opposed to unity and reason, is fueling the political and social dumpster fire that is the US. And Ngo is stoking that fire.
If you don't care that the rest of the world is looking at the US with a sense of second-hand embarassement and bewilderment over how anyone could put up with that shit, then [meme]THIS IS FINE[/meme], I guess?
