    Last January, Lang threw a Nazi “Sieg Heil” salute during a racist and antisemitic rally

    If that doesn’t count as hate speech that disqualifies you to run as a government representative, what does?!?

    If there wasn’t an article along side this photo, I’d just assume he was a flaming homosexual. And that’s cool.

      Or maybe he is just a straight asshole? Like so many orher nazis are?

      Please stop (indirectly) blaming gay people for this hateful shit when the overwhelming majority of homophobes are straight.

        Totally not blaming gay people. The sad reality is that many of these anti gay Republicans is that for some odd reason many of them are actually gay themselves and are hypocrites. Trump is another example of this. He is giving blow jobs to bubba and doing everything in his power to hurt gay people.

    “Get out of our country!” he yelled, holding the unlit flag. “This is a Christian country!” He soon threw away the unlit flag and unwrapped a basic rainbow Pride flag and unfurled it in the wind. Someone then laughed at him.

    It’s no wonder church attendance is falling.

    What a weird person. It’s what the media would call a disturbed or unwell person. But this is just… Weird.

    “Gays are so scary! I keep getting attracted to them but my daddy, who used to molest me, says it’s evil. So if I burn their flag, hopefully no one will flirt with me so I won’t get tempted anymore.”

      the crowd continued to lob abuse at Lang, with one person even kicking Lang in the head and numerous others opening the rear car door and kicking Lang some more as a Black trans woman eventually helped Lang escape. Lang suffered bruises, scrapes, and a cut on his head, though he didn’t report his injuries

      Naw. That’s what the vest is for.

      (But he really should learn how to wear it. That loose might be more likely to get him dead than not wearing it all. Assholes shouldn’t cosplay.)

        I’m 90% sure I saw him getting detained and the carrier doesn’t even have plates in it. A cop taking it off him did it casually with 1 hand and the vest wasn’t weighted down by 6-12 lb plates on either side. It looked about as ridged as maybe the dense foam or plastic meant to hold the plate snuggly.

          I wouldn’t be surprised.

          He’s cosplaying and he thinks he looks cool. But he can’t even be bothered to even make it any better than a crappy Fortnite knock off skin bought from Wish Halloween (like spirit, but with a new and improved funky smell)

    Racist, anti-semitic GOP candidate Jake Lang

    Wow, he’s really out there all by himself, isn’t he?
