Far-right activist and former January 6th rioter Jake Lang has accused an “anti white mob” of a vicious attack against him after he organized a small rally in Minneapolis. Footage of the incident shows Lang desperately trying to cling to safety as the large crowd pulls him away from the steps of City Hall where he and his group had congregated. Lang held an anti-Islam, anti-Somali, and pro-ICE rally near Minneapolis City Hall. On social media he had even boasted of his intentions to “burn a Quran” at the event. Of course, with the whole thing being advertised on social media, it was easy for counter-protesters to learn of Lang’s intentions and show up to give him a piece of their mind. Jake Lang and his crew showed up in Minneapolis trying to march into a Somali neighborhood, screaming that “natural born citizens” should be deported to “preserve the white race.”They didn’t make it.And the part that’ll live forever: a self-proclaimed white supremacist… pic.twitter.com/RsjXDBbVh6— Brian Allen (@allenanalysis) January 17, 2026 And show up they did. The counter-protesters showed up in droves, far outnumbering the pathetic turnout for Lang’s book burning event. With people across Minnesota uniting against right wing forces and the constant ICE raids in the state it’s no surprise that so many people would show up to shut down Lang’s rally. Things get ugly for Jake Lang The conservative influencer likely realized he’d made a huge mistake once he saw the massive crowd of people that had shown up to shout him down. However, he was surrounded, and things soon turned physical as those closest to Lang attempted to grab him and drag him into the crowd. Footage of the incident shows several people pulling him away from a wall and into the crowd. Another picture shows Lang looking as if he’s being given a stern talking to by someone, presumably one of the counter-protesters. Of course, Lang seized the opportunity to push the narrative that these radical leftists were out for blood. He shared photos of his injuries and claimed he had also been stabbed. There’s little sympathy Of course, with the violence the Trump administration commits against innocent civilians every day, there’s not much sympathy reserved for people like Lang, who went out looking to provoke and got exactly what he came for. On X many simply mocked him. Let’s not forget that he himself has taken part in violent mob action.

Online people shared old footage of Lang standing amongst the angry mob and brandishing a bat. He can be seen swinging at policemen. Jake Lang is no saint, and to call the counterprotesters “violent” is sort of like the pot calling the kettle black. He went looking for a conflict, and that’s what he got.

TikTok creator @Jahlen.Johnson has alleged a small connection between Jonathan Gerlach, the man recently arrested for grave-robbing in Pennsylvania, and the Harvard morgue scandal, involving the alleged theft and sale of human remains from Harvard Medical School’s morgue. Importantly, Johnson does not claim Gerlach is charged in or directly tied to the Harvard case. Instead, she alleges the connection runs through personal relationships and alleged transactions within the underground “oddities” and human remains marketplace. In her post, Johnson says: “The Pennsylvania grave robber who was arrested earlier this week,” meaning Gerlach, “has a small connection to the Harvard body parts scandal, which LED me down a completely different rabbit hole.” According to Johnson, the unconfirmed connection between Gerlach and Harvard is Jeremy Pauley, a Pennsylvania man recently sentenced in the Harvard morgue case. Pauley operated a museum and educational nonprofit involving oddities and human remains. Johnson recounts Pauley’s claim that he did not knowingly purchase stolen Harvard remains, saying he bought items from third parties and believed they were legitimate. “He believed it was legit and he always did everything above board,” Johnson said, summarizing Pauley’s defense. Pauley’s partner Sarah It’s a local story that made national headlines.Jeremy Pauley, sentenced to six years in the stolen human remains case. Before he reports to prison, he’s speaking out.It’s the first of our two-part exclusive interview, TONIGHT on FOX56 News First at Ten. pic.twitter.com/1yRHqgFqXT— FOX56 NEWS WOLF-TV (@FOX56WOLF) January 14, 2026 Johnson then alleges that Pauley’s ex-partner, Sarah, removed human remains and items from his collection during a personal dispute and made it appear they were being improperly stored. She claims Pauley has said shipping records show items arrived at the home while he was not present, and that Sarah later admitted to lying, resulting in a perjury charge. Johnson further alleges that Sarah knowingly sold remains connected to the broader scandal. This is where Gerlach enters Johnson’s narrative. Gerlach and Sarah allegedly know on another @jahlen.johnson Jonathan Gerlach’s connection to Harvard. When I first heard this I thought it was absolutely crazy but it turns out this is the least crazy of all the connections he has. *reposting because I had to edit something* #jonathangerlach #jeremypauley #harvard #pennsylvania ♬ original sound – jahlen.Johnson According to Johnson in her post, Gerlach knew Sarah personally, comparing her to “a little sister.” Johnson alleges that Gerlach helped broker the sale of disputed items taken from Pauley’s collection, knowing they belonged to Pauley, and later denied doing so. She references alleged text messages, online listings, and items such as a hippo foot and a lion skull, suggesting Gerlach may have attempted to sell them across state lines. Johnson is careful to frame these claims as ongoing and unresolved, saying, “way more is gonna come out of this now.” As of now, no court filings or law enforcement statements verify that Gerlach handled Harvard-sourced remains or participated in that criminal conspiracy. The Pennsylvania grave-robbing case Authorities have uncovered shocking details about Jonathan Gerlach, who is accused of robbing graves in Delaware County. https://t.co/1nYwW7PSQj— FOX 29 (@FOX29philly) January 10, 2026 Gerlach, 34, is charged in Pennsylvania after investigators say he repeatedly broke into mausoleums and underground vaults at Mount Moriah Cemetery near Philadelphia. Police allege they found more than 100 human skulls, skeletal remains, and multiple decomposing bodies in his home and a storage unit. Some remains were believed to belong to children. Gerlach faces hundreds of charges, including abuse of a corpse, desecration, theft of venerated objects, burglary, and related offenses. Investigators are still determining whether any remains were sold and…

'So that's it!' he says...

The Divisional Round of the 2025-26 NFL playoffs come to an end on Sunday evening with a pair of huge games. To kick things off, the Houston Texans are in Foxborough to try and take down the New England Patriots. Both teams represent a potential changing of the guard in the AFC, as the conference’s regular contender—the Chiefs, Ravens, Bills, Bengals—are all out of race. The Patriots are surging in Mike Vrabel’s first year running the team, while the Texans have been slowly climbing up the ranks for the past few seasons. But while the Patriots ran a dynasty in the not-so-distant past, the Texans have never even made an AFC Championship Game. History could be made when both teams kick off on 3 p.m. ET on Sunday. After that, I have a feeling more Detroit Lions fans will be tuned into the back half of the double-header. The Chicago Bears will host the Los Angeles Rams for a game that will decide the other half of an NFC Championship Game against the Seattle Seahawks. Whether your hate the Chicago Bears or Matthew Stafford, there are rooting interests galore for Lions fans. So there will be hate watching Sunday night at 6:30 p.m. ET? In this post, our Pride of Detroit community will chat during both games in the comment section at the bottom of the page. Make sure you have a free account to join the conversation!
