Overview

  • Lang’s small “March Against Minnesota Fraud” outside City Hall on Jan. 17 was outnumbered, and police said they issued a dispersal order with no arrests as the crowd later cleared.
  • Lang says he was stabbed and treated at a hospital with staples to his head, posting images of injuries, but outlets have not independently verified the claim and police say no report has been filed.
  • Video and photos show Lang with bruises and a head cut while leaving the scene, and AP described visible scrapes as he departed the confrontation.
  • KARE reported Lang did not burn a Quran despite stating beforehand that he intended to do so at City Hall.
  • FOX 9 reported a bystander’s account that she and a friend briefly drove Lang away as a crowd surrounded their car, as broader protests continue following the ICE shooting of Renee Good and as 1,500 soldiers were ordered to prepare for possible deployment to Minnesota.
