On Saturday in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota, a pro-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and anti-Muslim hate rally organized by racist Jake Lang was abruptly aborted after Lang was swarmed by local residents and counterprotesters. The robust community response to the rally underscores the unpopularity of Trump’s “mass deportation” policies and attacks on immigrants.

    Minneapolis, Minnesota folks have proven themselves on the world stage for dealing with the fascist felon and his cronies. I expect all other states have taken careful notes.

    Meanwhile, racist fascist Jake Lang has earned the brainless and dubious distinction of an entry in the history books. Notably with the image of him gripped in fear as he’s surrounded by Americans.

    You gotta love these fascists coming from a all over the country to your local community to tell you guys that your neighbors (or maybe even just you) are criminals even though they know jack shit about your community

    This is all about spreading hatred and fear, like a disease, and all these Muppets have already been infected

    The only real solution is to eradicate the disease

    Ha, not so big and tough are you?

    People like Jake Lang, talk a tough game, but they’re secretly pussies underneath.

    While most Minnesotans expressed joy at Lang’s aborted rally, fascists around the world fumed that police did not do a better job of protecting one of their own and lobbied for Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act, a threat he made last Thursday in response to community resistance to ICE kidnapping operations.

      Probably. Near the end of what I watched he’s repeatedly saying “deport the white liberal women” which… idk how else you can take that but as trying to start shit, since it doesn’t really fit the bigotry message very well… sexism for sure, but it just doesn’t sound like a normal thing for a nazi to say. I mean this is the first I’ve heard that one, yet the people around him thought nothing of it… very sus.

    Jake Lang is a Mossad agent attempting to steer neo-Nazi hate groups towards anti-Muslim sentiment.

    imo, he got off extremely easy in this situation.

    I swear racists are some of the worst low-IQ people I have ever met. What did this guy think was going to happen?! This is how all hate-spreading racist and/or fascists should be treated. Good Job Minneapolis!!

    Good to know the WSWS isn’t against violence on principle, just who it should be directed at.

    I hope once the Socialist Equality Party finally gets a foothold on political power in the US they can make further progress by running their opponents out of town.
