Episode Details

Jake Lang, the far-right activist arrested in Minneapolis for riot charges, won’t face those felonies — Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty says there’s not enough evidence to convict beyond a reasonable doubt, though she called his actions “despicable.” The protest turned chaotic: cars drove onto sidewalks, mace was used, and an officer got hurt. Lang has a history — jailed after January 6, later pardoned, and now also facing felony vandalism charges in St. Paul for damaging an ice sculpture. Meanwhile, a protester dressed as Spider-Man is now facing misdemeanor assault charges for allegedly hitting Lang. Lang remains jailed, though it’s unclear if that’s tied to an out-of-state hold — the county’s decision only affects felony charges, leaving other cases still active.
