Yesterday, CBS ran a headline communicating to readers that the noble leader of NYC was attacked: “FBI launches terrorism investigation after homemade explosive device ignited outside of NYC Mayor Mamdani’s residence”. The article, however, tells a different story:
New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch told reporters on Saturday that an anti-Islam protest was organized by people associated with Jake Lang, a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter and far-right influencer. A group of counter-protesters, numbering more than 100, also gathered, and two young men from Pennsylvania, angered by the anti-Islam protest, brought the homemade bombs to the gathering, intending to cause harm, law enforcement sources told CBS News.
Videos showing the chaos from the protests, verified by the CBS News Confirmed team, show a man apparently yelling “Allahu Akbar” – or “God is Most Great” – just as a protester, identified as 18-year-old Emir Balat, of Pennsylvania, allegedly throws an “ignited device.”
Jake Lang falsely asserted that some percentage of Muslims living in a non-Muslim society would inevitably choose to wage jihad, as seen in the follow examples:
- DC National Guard shooting by Afghan immigrant Rahmanullah Lakanwal
- attack on the 2SLGBTQQIA+ community at the Pulse nightclub by child of Afghan immigrants Omar Mateen
- San Bernardino attack by Rizwan Farook (child of Pakistani immigrants) and Tashfeen Malik (Pakistani immigrant)
- Boston Marathon bombing
- Fort Hood shooting by Nidal Hasan, child of Arabs who called themselves “Palestinian”
Thus far, the story seems to be that two Muslim-Americans, both children of immigrants, wanted to show how wrong Mr. Lang was regarding the above. They manufactured bombs and threw them at Mr. Lang and surrounding haters infected with irrational Islamophobia.
Let’s step back for a moment and consider this classic lecture by a law professor:
CNN: “two men arrested in connection with the device admitted to being inspired by ISIS”.
Since, as a practical matter, being a violent criminal isn’t against any New York State or City law, they could have been back out on the street already if they hadn’t talked about ISIS to the police. Instead of being free to work on their next jihad, therefore, they now face the potential of federal terrorism charges and actual prison time.
Lesson from the law prof: “Don’t Talk to the Police”!
