Jake Lang's Anti-Islam, Pro-ICE Rally In Minneapolis Descends Into Chaos
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — Controversial January 6er and anti-Islam activist Jake Lang was supposed to officially start his rally at 1:00 PM central time on Saturday. He stated his plans to burn a Quran on the steps of city hall. As you can imagine, this did not sit well with the progressive community of the Twin Cities.
Lang and a small group of supporters gathered at city hall an hour before the advertised start time, which quickly devolved into chaos when Antifa and other counter protesters got into fights with Lang’s outnumbered group.
Lang was sprayed with water and water balloons were thrown at him, though most of the balloons either missed him entirely or hit other counter protesters. As you can see in the video, it got to the point where it clear he needed to leave for his own safety, but that was no easy task. Despite trying to leave, many in the crowd wanted to continue their assaults. I heard at least one person yelling for the crowd to “Kill him!”
Lang was able to get away and got into a random car, but other people in Lang’s group were hunted down and attacked. Minneapolis police officers showed up after the violence was done. The officers were also forced out of the protest area because the crowd knew they could get away with it.
