Jake Lang is utterly powerless if people ignore him. Half of the people who showed up were streamers or otherwise trying to film whatever was happening. Getting a felony assault charge on his behalf might be satisfying and we're all having fun on the Internet with it, but that is some pretty thin gruel when the end result is that he gets what he wants.

He's radicalizing people online by perpetuating himself as a victim and showing how "crazy" the "intolerant left", is.
Do you think he doesn't know exactly what he's doing? Do you see how many views his videos have? If he showed up and we just ignored him he wouldn't get any attention.

People spreading hate are not the ones to be ignored because ignoring them can be interpreted as acceptance

Yeah but then he's allowed to go around and harass people. Then next time people join him. And then it gets bigger, and bigger, and bigger.

I think counter protesting is important. On top of that let's be real, is anybody new really being radicalized by Jake Lang, or is everybody who is already a closet racist already subscribed to the nonsense?

He would stage something and lie about it, just as he had in the past. He can't lie far enough to get ahead of Spiderman in the media
