MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A large group of protesters turned out in downtown Minneapolis on Saturday and confronted a much smaller group of people organized by conservative influencer Jack Lang to demonstrate in support of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Anti-Ice protesters chased the pro-ICE group away and forced Lang, who appeared to be injured, to leave the scene with visible bruises and scrapes on his head.

It's so funny that these dipshits are stupid enough to be tricked into thinking immigrants are the problem. Like, yeah, the dude that earns 20k a year and puts it all back into the local economy is definitely the bad guy. Keep listening to the people that hoard all of the money that they steal from you by keeping your wages so low, their motives are pure.

It's because they see them in their neighborhoods. They don't see the billionaires pulling the strings. All they see is Jesus down at the Home Depot and Maria selling tamales outside the Dollar Tree.

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Of which Jesus and Maria are harming no one, but helping others through work or food.

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

Fuck yeah, plus you know those are the best tamales.

The brown guy thinks he's "one of the good ones."

who the fuck is pro ice other than kkk or other white angry christians.

It’s a Jan 6 insurrectionist that has some podcast. Jake Lang is his name. They knocked him down and threw snowballs at him. It was glorious.

nazis, nazi wannabes, MAGAts ...

It's always clean when you answer your own questions.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

Penguins, polar bears, arctic foxes….

Oh sorry, wrong ice. No one likes those fuckers.

People who actually follow Christ need to rebrand. I'm not kidding, I'm so fucking sick of seeing Christians back violence and fascism. That entire image is done. If I hear someone say they're Christian, my mind is doing to go straight to MAGA.

It was cold and windy today here... Pelting them with water balloons was awesome. Not a day to be wet in the wind downtown. Btw, no one I know here is pro ICE, universally us Minnesotians want these asshats gone

[–] toeknee@piefed.social 35 points 2 days ago

I like how the AP describes it as "scrapes on his head" and the whiny bastard claimed he was "literally lynched" at the protest. People like him deserve much worse than what he got

[–] ShellMonkey@piefed.socdojo.com 37 points 2 days ago (3 children)

...organized by conservative influencer

Gee, but little donnie said the people against ice where the professional agitators...

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 28 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That description is such a sanitization. He was an armed Jan. 6er and called for "a future for white Americans". That such a person could also be a "conservative influencer" is an indictment of conservatism.

[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Damn. They should have really lynched him.

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 10 points 2 days ago

The outside agitator they always talk about

~~The conservative influencer organized the group that was in support of ICE, that got chased off / beaten up by the anti-ICE demonstrators.~~

Edit: Nevermind, I misunderstood what you were saying.

Lol. They poured freezing water on ice.
