Reminds me of what BLM used to do to MAGA supporters in 2020.
6 years later the left wing hasn’t changed:

Lang intended on burning a Quran on the steps of the Minneapolis City Hall to protest the increasing Islamification of the United States. During his protest, leftist activists dragged Lang into a mob and attacked him.
Today at 1pm I will burn a Quran on the steps of Minneapolis City Hall

While surrounded by rioters, Lang received repeated blows to his neck and the back of his head while another individual continuously threw an unknown liquid on Lang and the crowd.
Minneapolis (Jan. 17) — Anti-Islam activist Jake Lang was pulled down from a ledge into a far-left mob who surrounded and beat him on the head. The rioters believe mass migration must not be stopped and that those who criticise Islam & Muslims should die. pic.twitter.com/2ea6Km0EhI

Lang could be seen bloodied as he finally broke free of the larger crowd.
Jake Lang gets attacked by violent but mostly peaceful leftists at the anti-Islam protest in shit hole MN, as he gets mocked for being injured and gets called Nazi.

Way to turn down the rhetoric, Walz and Frey. This is on you. https://t.co/K5DLbSatiE
While attempting to flee the protest, Lang was again mobbed at his vehicle. Numerous individuals surrounded the car to prevent it from leaving. Video showed one individual attempting to open the car door to possibly drag Lang from the vehicle. The individual repeatedly kicked Lang as he attempted to close the door and escape.

They attacked the car and tried to get inside
NOT ONE Minneapolis police officer was here.

Following the incident, Lang posted to X that a “commie leftist rioter” attempted to stab Lang, but the weapon was blocked by his body armor.
