  "account": "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.",
