What happened to Jake Lang in Minneapolis today? Videos show clashes near City Hall after rally; watch
Jake Lang led a rally in Minneapolis where clashes erupted with counter-protesters. Some protestors alegedly got pepper sprayed by Lang's crew.
On Saturday, far-right activist Jake Lang participated in a rally in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The rally, initially called the 'N-March' and organized by Lang, aimed to march to Minneapolis City Hall to demand the resignation of Mayor Jacob Frey. However, the rally was met with counter-protesters, which led to clashes between the two groups.
Videos emerged showing a car being attacked by counter-protesters as it left the City Hall area. While Lang reportedly left in his car, eyewitnesses claimed he was inside the car and allegedly used bear mace on the counter-protesters. Another video showed a counter-protester being pepper-sprayed amid the clashes, appearing visibly injured but managing to leave.
The rally, originally announced on July 24, was described by Lang as a "peaceful freedom of speech rally." It remains unclear if Siloh Hendrix, a guest mentioned by Lang, was present at the event. The incident has raised questions about the use of bear mace, a non-lethal deterrent typically used to stop charging bears, during a political protest.
