Pardoned January 6 defendant Jake Lang led his anti-Muslim "Crusader" movement to rally in Bridgeview, Illinois on Sunday, where a crowd of counter-protesters were held back by police.
"They're throwing bombs!" one of Lang's supporters proclaimed after an object appeared to explode, in addition to water bottles and other items thrown at the group.
"Bow down before your king!" Lang proclaimed, as some of his supporters wore red armbands with crosses on them.
A Nazi group led by Trevor Raein and Greg Conte counter-protested Jake Lang, proclaiming that "Jake Lang is a Jew!" and "this is to get whites and Arabs to be enemies when they're not natural enemies for the benefit of Jews."
Most fellow counter-protesters seemed to reject them, in spite of them skipping the swastika armbands they typically bring for these demonstrations.
Protesters on Jake Lang's side attempted to report to the police that counter-protesters were throwing objects.
Rather than making individual arrests, police continued to separate the two sides, but the throwing continued.
Protesters continued throwing objects as police escorted Jake Lang and his caravan of "crusaders" away from the event.
Police struggled with protesters as they made at least one arrest during Jake Lang's departure.
As one vehicle continued to depart from Jake Lang's rally in Bridgeview, Illinois on Sunday, counter-protesters continued to throw objects at it.
Police responded, including by pepper spraying the crowd, hitting News2Share contributor Matthew Rodier.
