Mayor Zohran began his speech condemning Saturday’s terror attack by complaining about the 20 protesters who were the victims. This was one of many protests that regularly take place outside Gracie Mansion. The group, led by Jake Lang, was noisy but peaceful when two affluent young jihadis from Pennsylvania tried to kill them with IEDs known as the “Mother of Satan.” The two terrorists were in a group of 120 counter-protesters and had previously been ISIS-trained. They are first-generation sons of an Afghan and a Turk.
Lang and his tiny group were protesting Islamists blocking traffic to say their prayers five times a day. Lang was a J6 protester and a right-wing activist whom the left claims is a white supremacist. I don’t believe he is a Nazi, aka a white supremacist, but he is an activist, sometimes provocateur, concerned about the Islamization of New York City.
There appears to be a hit or a fatwa or something on Lang’s head. Lang brought a goat to the protest, and the Islamists brought two bombs. When they threw one and dropped the other, they screamed “Allahu Akbar” for good measure. Fortunately, the devices didn’t go off. One landed at Lang’s feet.
Police say the bombs could have killed or maimed hundreds.
The clearest video yet of the terrorist who attempted to throw an explosive at the protest yesterday in NYC.
