On Aug. 7, Black activist Ragina Gray was tackled by Portland police at a protest. That same day, Andy Ngo shared Gray’s name and mug shot on Twitter. Twelve nights later, a man showed up on the doorstep of Gray’s mother’s home.https://www.wweek.com/news/2020/09/16/portland-protesters-say-their-lives-were-upended-by-the-posting-of-their-mug-shots-on-a-conservative-twitter-account/ …

And for those following this story, here are my full comments sent to the reporter prior to publication of the piece:https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1305262759207084033 …
Update: So there appears to be no record of the police report or call to police, contradicting a key point of the WW report about the people who had their lives “upturned” because of the release of their arrest info. I have forwarded my inquiry on to WW editor @AaronMesh.pic.twitter.com/RFhH6h4A1i

Interesting how the involved parties locked their twitter accounts. I’d like to suggest a better response: “I’m sorry. We made a mistake. We will issue a retraction and strive to do better as we move forward. Thank you for your patience and understanding.”

So basically: "I like the way I misrepresented the truth, and unless you comply with my wishes, I'll continue to perpetuate my lie to further my agenda. Take it up with my boss." Sounds about right for an ideological driven activist — I mean 'journalist.'
