Welp, Jake Lang's racist "Crusader March" in Minneapolis today went well...

Jake Lang is a convicted J6 insurrectionist who beat LEOs with a baseball bat and got 5 years for it before being pardoned by DumDum.

Today, he held a sparsely supported Islamophobic, anti-Somali march in Minneapolis.
When folks in Minneapolis say "Hold my beer", Imma gonna hold their beer for this!

Lang was chased by a large crowd of protesters, pelted with snowballs and water balloons (possibly filled with piss), wet his pants, and then was extricated somehow.

And it was a fun day for all.






And Walt Masterson, of The Good Liars, was there to add colorful commentary

He actually boxes himself in a corner and pays the price.

They're looking for any sort of violence to justifiy it, and LeFtIsTs ThUgS aTtAcKiNg A pEaCeFuL pRoTeSt will serve them just fine.

Anyone who deluded themselves into thinking the Insurrection Act could be avoided if we just played nice--or that this was going to end peacefully--needs to wake the fuck up. THESE. ARE. NAZIS.

They could have shot him in the face.

Three times.

In front of his children.

I don't want to hear any whining coming from him.

And 'Bravo' to those protestors!

out of there at all.

He almost got dragged out of the car he was fleeing in.

He's lumped up tonight for sure.

for weeks, you're going to get lumped up.

This guy was smiling at first like everything was fine. Just an ordinary trolling operation, hahaha. Sometimes I have to wonder about the absolute loony toons suburbs these fools grew up in where you don't think you're gonna get smacked for some of this shit.

It should also be noted that the only reason he was able to get out of there is because a lot of the lefty protesters protected him from the ones who were rounding off on him.

A couple of guys recognize him sitting in the back of some junker and care enough to run over and "attack" it? And somebody is filming to make sure it gets put on twitter right away? They barely did anything, opened the door and pretended to kick him until the actual crowd got there and helped them leave.

His right wing buddies disappeared and he was being ushered out of the crowd by counter protesters. He was also getting his ass kicked by counter-protesters. You wanna see real fear on the face of one of these bozos, look up a few of those.

The one posted here, another from the front, and a third from the other side.

It doesn't look staged to me at all.

And why stage it anyway? He took a beating surrounded by cameras for quite a while. Several of his cohort were also documented getting lumped up.

or maybe even alone in my feelings, but
I think it would have been better if he had just been ignored.

Harassing someone about "touching a vagina" is not a good tactic for our side.
Yes fight, but keep it classy.

I think the only time we should use any type of physical force (or water guns and snowballs) if is we are threatened or physically attacked ourselves.
