Post 2-1: Two-Tiered Justice: The Odd Intersection Between the KKK Act, Jake Lang, and the Minneapolis Tesla Vandal

Minnesota Democrats (i.e., the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, or “DFL”) selectively enforce Minnesota laws in a manner that violates at least the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution and the Ku Klux Klan Act (i.e., KKK Act, or Klan Act). Stated differently, public officials associated with Minnesota Democrats (hereinafter the “DFL”) operate a two-tiered justice system that decides legal outcomes based on political considerations of the parties involved. Similarly, DFL public officials provide police protection based on political considerations of the parties involved. For instance, public officials associated with the DFL have a pattern and practice of aggressively enforcing criminal laws against individuals with political beliefs that are abhorred[1] by the DFL – while providing maximum leniency[2] to individuals with political beliefs that are approved[3] by the DFL. Accordingly, Democrat public officials in Minnesota deprive Americans of equal protection under the law.

In one example, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty refused[4] to pursue felony criminal charges against Dylan Adams – the State of Minnesota employee that caused more than $20,000 in damage to six random Tesla vehicles in Minneapolis.[5] Across the river, in St. Paul, the Ramsey County Attorney Office (headed by Democrat John Choi) immediately filed felony criminal charges[6] against Jake Lang for kicking over an ice sculpture (valued at approximately $6,000) outside the State Capitol Building. In contrast, DFL public officials allowed Jake Lang to be violently assaulted for over an hour (live on the internet) without intervention, at Lang’s January 17, 2026 demonstration on the sidewalk directly next to Minneapolis City Hall. As discussed in greater detail below, Minneapolis Police escorted Lang to the sidewalk adjacent Minneapolis City Hall, and Minneapolis Police then abandoned Lang amid counter-protestors that were openly-hostile (and violent) toward Lang.[7] While outside Minneapolis City Hall, Lang was kicked in the head twice, punched numerous times, had fingernails dragged across his face, and mace was sprayed at Lang. Lang was also robbed of personal property. Lang’s assault ended only after he was forced into a hotel, blocks away from Minneapolis City Hall.[8]

Minneapolis public officials made no effort in interrupting the hour-long violent assault on Lang, despite having Minneapolis Police officers in the immediate area around Minneapolis City Hall. However, those Minneapolis Police were conveniently absent from the immediate area around Lang.  Further, Minneapolis Police made no arrests, and eschewed[9] any responsibility for investigating the violent assaults against Lang. Accordingly, DFL public officials neglected (or otherwise refused) to prevent (or provide aid in preventing) violent suppression of Lang’s right to protest – among other violations of Lang’s rights and privileges as a U.S. citizen.

For at least these reasons, public officials associated with the DFL operate the Minnesota justice system in a corrupt[10] and hyper-partisan[11] manner that violates the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution (and many different Federal laws). As a result of the DFL operating a hyper-partisan (two-tiered) justice system in Minnesota: the U.S. Federal Government must act to vindicate[12] the rights guaranteed to Minnesotans by the U.S. Constitution. Ideally, DFL public officials would be stripped of qualified immunity and forced to pay for their own legal costs associated with a defense to their violations of the KKK Act in relation to Jake Lang.

The KKK Act was Enacted in Response to Democrats Violating the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution.

The 14^th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified after the U.S. Civil War, and includes the Equal Protection Clause. For instance, the 14^th Amendment states (in part): “[n]o State shall . . . deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”[13] A primary motivation for inclusion of the Equal Protection Clause in the 14^th Amendment was to address widespread civil rights violations by Democrat public officials[14] in Southern U.S. states against recently freed (and naturalized)[15] African Americans.[16] After the U.S. Civil War, Democrat public officials drafted and enforced “Black Codes” that implemented laws and local customs that deprived African Americans of fundamental rights guaranteed to them as U.S. citizens by the U.S. Constitution.[17] For example, Democrat public officials in the Southern U.S. would operate their respective state criminal justice systems to impose strict liability[18] on African Americans for violations of a law or local ordinance. In contrast, Democrat public officials would provide maximum leniency to White individuals that violated the law in a same or similar manner as African Americans.[19] As a result of widespread civil rights violations by Democrat public officials in the South, the U.S. Congress exercised its authority[20] under the U.S. Constitution to pass legislation that would enable and provide equal protection of the law to all Americans.  

For instance, in 1871 the U.S. Congress passed “An Act to enforce the Provisions of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, and for other Purposes” which is commonly referred to as the “Enforcement Act of 1871” or the “Ku Klux Klan Act”. Portions of the Ku Klux Klan Act are currently codified at 42 U.S.C. §§1983, 1985(3), and 1986; and 18 U.S.C. §§241-242. In an example, 42 U.S.C. §1985(3) states:

Accordingly, 42 U.S.C. §1985(3) provides a civil cause of action against private parties (i.e., rabid leftists, antifa, or the like) that deprive any person from “having and exercising any right or privilege of a citizen of the United States.” Additional portions of the KKK Act, for example 42 U.S.C. §1986[21] (and similarly 42 U.S.C. §1983)[22] provide for a civil cause of action against public officials that neglect (or refuse) to prevent (or aid in preventing) a violation of §1985(3). Other parts of the KKK Act impose criminal liability onto private parties involved in preventing or hindering a person from “free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege” guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution or laws of the United States. For example, 18 U.S.C. §241 states:

Still yet further, 18 U.S.C. §242[23] imposes criminal liability on public officials that act under any “law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom” to subject any person to a deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States. Accordingly, the KKK Act provides both civil and criminal penalties against private parties that deprive any person of the equal protection of the laws, or of equal privileges and immunities under the law. Similarly, portions of the KKK Act provide for both civil and criminal penalties against public officials that have knowledge of violations of the KKK Act – and those public officials neglect, or refuse, to prevent (or aid in preventing) violations of the KKK Act.

A good-faith argument exists that portions of the KKK Act, including 42 U.S.C. §1985(3), cover “conspiracies aimed at any class or organization on account of its political views or activities” because the U.S. Supreme Court has not specifically decided that 42 U.S.C. §1985(3) is inapplicable to “conspiracies aimed at any class or organization on account of its political views or activities.”[24] Thus, private parties that deprive an individual of a right or privilege guaranteed under U.S. law (based on political motivations), face civil and criminal liability under Federal law. Similarly, public officials that allow private parties to deprive an individual of a right or privilege (based on political motivations), also face civil and criminal liability under Federal law.

Jake Lang was Violently Assaulted for Over an Hour at a Demonstration Outside Minneapolis City Hall Without Any Intervention by Minnesota Law Enforcement Agencies.

On Saturday, January 17, 2026, Jake Lang held a political demonstration outside Minneapolis City Hall. Jake Lang was violently assaulted by counter-protestors for over an hour without any intervention whatsoever on the part of DFL public officials associated with the City of Minneapolis (and the State of Minnesota). For example, members of the Minneapolis Police Department escorted Lang onto a sidewalk directly adjacent to Minneapolis City Hall,[25] where dozens of counter-protestors were already located. The Minneapolis Police Department then abandoned Lang,[26] and allowed counter-protestors to violently assault Lang for over an hour on the sidewalk directly adjacent to Minneapolis City Hall. After escorting Lang to Minneapolis City Hall, the Minneapolis Police Department (hereinafter “MPD”) did not intervene in any way with the counter-protestors violent attacks on Lang. Further, the MPD failed to contain the counter-protestors to a specified area (e.g., across the street from Minneapolis City Hall where the non-violent counter-protestors were located[27]), and Minneapolis Police (along with other law enforcement agencies, for instance Metro Transit Police, Minnesota State Patrol, Minnesota National Guard, or the like) allowed Lang and his group to be entirely overwhelmed by counter-protestors that proceeded to violently assault Lang. For example, Lang was sucker punched at least 3 times,[28] maced,[29] kicked in the head twice,[30] knocked off his feet multiple times, sprayed with water (on a January day in Minnesota where the high temperature was ~10 degrees),[31] and robbed of personal belongings.[32] As a result of the hour-long assault, Lang was (at least) bleeding from the head in multiple places.[33] Thus, Jake Lang was injured in his person, injured in his property, and Lang was deprived of exercising his right and privilege as a U.S. citizen to demonstrate in public (among other rights and privileges).

Video[34] of Lang’s hour-long assault was captured by Andrew Mercado[35] with Mercado Media. At the start (0:0:55, Image 1) of the Mercado video, counter-protestors try to steal and destroy a banner that Jake Lang is holding.[36] The Mercado video has an almost uninterrupted view of Lang over the next hour and a half. Two Minneapolis Police officers are shown (at 5:34, Image 2) watching a crowd near Jake Lang’s planned demonstration. Approximately 30 seconds after Minneapolis Police are shown near Lang, a masked counter-protestor punches Lang in the face, and similarly assaults another person associated with Lang (6:06, 6:14, and 6:17; Images 3, 4, and 5, respectively). Multiple Minneapolis Police vehicles, including a paddy wagon and a Bearcat are shown in the area (at 9:30, 9:59, and 10:58; Images 6, 7, and 8, respectively). At 12:55 (Image 9) in the Mercado video, the earlier two Minneapolis Police officers engage with Lang, and begin working the crowd away from Lang (Image 10, at 13:06) – in order to escort Lang, from the street, to a sidewalk directly adjacent to Minneapolis City Hall (the location for Lang’s planned demonstration). During the escort, a counter-protestor tries to steal Lang’s microphone (13:09, Image 11).[37] At 14:48 (Image 12), the last Minneapolis Police officer is seen until at least 1:20:00 (i.e., over an hour and 5 minutes later). During that hour in time, Jake Lang was violently assaulted by counter-protestors while law enforcement officers (controlled by the DFL) made no effort in controlling the violent counter-protestors or stopping the counter-protestors from violating rights and privileges granted to Americans under U.S. law.

For instance, Lang is shown in front of Minneapolis City Hall after Minneapolis Police escorted Lang to Minneapolis City Hall (15:25, Image 13). A scuffle occurs in the crowd near Lang at 19:01 (Image 14). At 24:54, Lang is shoved (Image 15) by an individual wearing a gas mask, goggles, and a helmet (i.e., disguises,[38] or hallmarks of a peaceful protestor aligned with the Democrat Party). A different counter-protestor wearing a helmet and mask is clearly shown throwing multiple punches at other individuals in the crowd at 26:05 (Image 16). An old and fat woman begins putting her hands inches from Lang’s face at 28:43 (Image 17). At 29:32, another scuffle breaks out in the crowd, and Lang asks for people in the crowd to remain peaceful (Image 18). Lang has his microphone ripped from his hands at 34:10 (Image 19). The old (and fat) woman punches Lang in the arm at 38:01 (Image 20). The old (and obese) woman then rips at Lang’s face with a gloved hand (Image 21 at 38:09). Unsatisfied, the old and heavyset woman then removes her glove, and digs her nasty fake nails into Lang’s face at 38:17 (Image 22). Soon thereafter, at 41:07, the cameraperson (i.e., Mercado) pans his camera across the area near Lang, rotating a complete 360 degrees (Images 23-32). Minneapolis Police are entirely absent from the 360 degree pan shot shown at 41:07 (Video 1). Accordingly, more than 25 minutes have passed in the video without a Minneapolis Police officer being readily identifiable in the video. In those 25 minutes, Lang has been subject to multiple assaults from counter-protestors. However, the assaults continue (and increase in level of violence) on Lang (outside Minneapolis City Hall), without any intervention from DFL-controlled Minnesota law enforcement officers (e.g., Minneapolis Police) for at least another 30 minutes.

Video 1

In one example, mace (i.e., pepper spray, a weapon) is deployed by a counter-protester against Lang at 47:28 (Image 33). The old and fat woman rips Lang’s arm backwards at 47:45 (Image 34). Counter-protestors violently steal Lang’s backpack at 48:27 (Image 35). In response to a violent robbery, an associate of Lang deploys mace against counter-protestors at 48:43 (Image 36). Yet another scuffle breaks out in the crowd at 53:08 (Image 37). Lang is hit with a flag pole (i.e., another weapon) at 1:01:23 (Image 38). Approximately 30 seconds later (Image 39), counter-protestors rip Lang’s leg out from underneath him at least twice (the second time simultaneously spraying Lang in the face with water, in January in Minnesota). A counter-protestor steals an object from Lang’s vest at 1:03:03 (Image 40). Counter-protestors then rip down and break a large banner that Lang’s associates were holding (Image 41, at 1:04:06). A counter-protestor then throws a cell phone at Lang, shattering the cell phone against a wall of Minneapolis City Hall at 1:04:35 (Image 42).

The Mercado video further shows a counter-protestor is seemingly treated for exposure to mace at 1:08:14 (Image 43). The cameraperson pans the camera (at 1:13:42, Video 2) across the area again, and shows no efforts by Minneapolis Police at controlling any of the counter-protestors near Lang (as Minneapolis Police are still entirely absent from the video). Lang is then moved (by less hostile counter-protestors) through the crowd of extremely hostile counter-protestors that entirely surround Lang (near an entrance of Minneapolis City Hall, Image 44 at 1:14:47). A minute later, at 1:15:42, Lang emerges from the crowd holding his head (Image 45). Soon thereafter, at 1:16:00, Lang is sucker punched in the back of the head by a counter-protestor (Image 46). The violent assault continues on Lang, without any intervention by Minneapolis Police, where a masked counter-protestor kicks Lang in the head (at 1:16:32, Image 47, Video 3). The same masked counter-protestor kicks Lang in the head again at 1:16:41 (Image 48, Video 3). A little over a minute later, at 1:18:03, Lang is sucker punched in the back of the head yet again by a counter-protestor (Image 49).

Video 2

All of the violent acts against Lang (described above) took place on the sidewalk directly next to Minneapolis City Hall (Image 50, at 1:18:43) without any intervention by Democrat public officials (i.e., Minneapolis Police including Brian O’Hara and their boss, Mayor Jacob Frey; Bob Jacobson with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension; Minnesota State Patrol, Metro Transit Police, or the like). The Mercado video shows counter-protestors then chase Lang across the DFL-created light rail tracks and toward Government Plaza (Image 51 at 1:19:05). Not a single officer from Minneapolis Police is visible in this portion of the video – even in wide shots like Images 50 and 52 (at 1:19:43). For instance, not a single Minneapolis Police officer is readily identifiable in the Mercado video from 14:48 to 1:19:43 (more than one hour in time). Accordingly, Minneapolis Police induced[39] Lang to move to a sidewalk directly next to Minneapolis City Hall, and Minneapolis Police escorted Jake Lang to the sidewalk directly next to Minneapolis City Hall. Minneapolis Police then abandoned Lang, after escorting Lang into a massive crowd of counter-protestors that had already demonstrated a willingness to engage in violence against Lang. Minneapolis Police did not intervene in any way in the hour-long violent assault on Lang, after Minneapolis Police escorted Lang to Minneapolis City Hall. The New Yorker even quoted a counter-protestor as saying: “Where are the fucking police?”[40] Image 53 shows Lang bleeding from head as a result of the violent assaults by DFL-aligned counter-protestors (likely as a result of being kicked in the head twice by a person wearing boots, as shown in Video 3, and described above):

Violent Protestors, and the Democrat Public Officials that Enabled Violence Against Lang, Are Exposed to Civil and Criminal Liability Under the KKK Act.

The counter-protestors that violently assaulted Lang are exposed to liability under the KKK Act. Minneapolis public officials that abandoned their primary directive[41] of maintaining law and order are similarly exposed to liability under the KKK Act. As described above, 42 U.S.C. §1985(3) provides civil liability to individuals (e.g., violent counter-protestors in Minneapolis on January 17, 2026) that “conspire or go in disguise . . . for the purpose of depriving . . . any person or class of persons of the equal protection of the laws or of the equal privileges and immunities under the laws.” Similarly, criminal penalties for individuals are described at 18 U.S.C. §241:

Images 15, 47, and 54 (at 49:49) show that many, if not most of the counter-protestors that were near Lang when he was being violently assaulted, were wearing some form of a disguise (e.g., masks, gas masks,[42] googles, helmets, hoods, or the like) to obscure their identities. Lang was seriously injured by the violent assaults conducted by counter-protestors (in disguise), and Lang was prevented from exercising his right to conduct a demonstration on a sidewalk outside Minneapolis City Hall due to the violent assaults by the counter-protestors. Further, Lang and his associates had numerous pieces of property damaged or stolen by the violent counter-protestors. Thus, Jake Lang was injured in his person, injured in his property, and Lang was deprived of exercising his right and privilege as a U.S. citizen to demonstrate in public (among other rights and privileges, including freedom of travel). Accordingly, the violent counter-protestors that assaulted (and robbed) Lang are exposed to civil and criminal liability under the KKK Act.

The DFL public officials (e.g., Mayor Jacob Frey,[43] former Chief Brian O’Hara,[44] interim Chief Bill Peterson,[45] and Minnesota Department of Public Safety Commissioner Bob Jacobson[46]) that abandoned Lang and made no effort to separate[47] violent counter-protestors from Lang are exposed to liability under the KKK Act as a result of those DFL public officials having power to prevent (or aid in preventing) the commission of the violent attacks against Lang at a planned demonstration that the DFL public officials were entirely aware of.[48] As discussed herein, 42 U.S.C. §1986 states in part:

The violent counter-protestors that attacked Jake Lang are exposed to liability under 42 U.S.C. §1985(3), which is a prerequisite requirement for 42 U.S.C. §1986 to apply to public officials. Minneapolis Police, and other Minnesota law enforcement entities (e.g., Minnesota National Guard, Minnesota State Patrol, Metro Transit Police, or the like) abandoned their law enforcement responsibilities (discussed above) and allowed for Lang to be assaulted outside Minneapolis City Hall without any intervention by those law enforcement agencies. Lang’s hour-long assault outside Minneapolis City Hall was streaming live on the internet. Minneapolis Police refused to investigate the Lang assault because they received no reports from Lang (or others that were assaulted that day). However, Minneapolis Police (and other law enforcement agencies) are capable of initiating a criminal investigation without a victim making a complaint (otherwise murders would never be solved). Further, a credible media report stated Minneapolis Police officers were ordered to stand down from protecting Jake Lang while Lang was assaulted for over an hour (live on the internet) outside Minneapolis City Hall.[49] Accordingly, DFL public officials are exposed to liability under 42 U.S.C. §1986 because the DFL public officials had knowledge of the assaults on Lang and the violations of Lang’s right to demonstrate – and the DFL public officials did not intervene in any way, shape, manner, or form.

Democrat public officials in Minnesota refused to exercise their law enforcement responsibilities, and did not intervene in the assaults as they occurred on Lang (despite having numerous resources in the area). Additionally, the DFL public officials refused to aid after the violent assaults on Lang including a refusal to investigate the crimes committed against Lang. Similar to Minneapolis Police, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty (whose jurisdiction includes Minneapolis) did not investigate or prosecute any individuals for the violence inflicted on Lang at a planned demonstration outside Minneapolis City Hall. Further, DFL public officials held community events in the days prior to Lang’s demonstration, and indicated violence would not be tolerated.[50] However, DFL public officials tolerated violence – apparently since the violence was directed at a person whose political beliefs are abhorred[51] by those same DFL public officials. The assaults on Lang were violations of 42 U.S.C. 1985(3), which is a prerequisite for 42 U.S.C. §1986. As a result of the inaction (or active connivance)[52] in the violations of 42 U.S.C. 1985(3) on Jake Lang outside Minneapolis City Hall on January 17, 2026 – numerous DFL public officials are exposed to civil liability under 42 U.S.C. §1986.

Similar to 42 U.S.C. §1986, Federal law imposes criminal liability on public officials that act under any “law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom” to subject any person to a deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States. [53] Democrat public officials in Minnesota have established a local custom where police protection and law enforcement are delivered based on political considerations of the parties involved. As described above, public officials associated with the DFL neglected (or refused) to prevent dozens of violent attacks against Lang. Additionally, Minneapolis public officials neglected (or refused) to direct a law enforcement response to the commission of the violent attacks against Lang. Lang’s hour-long assault by counter-protests was directly facilitated by the Minneapolis Police Department and other Minnesota law enforcement agencies that abandoned Lang and made no effort to separate[54] counter-protestors from Lang and Lang’s planned demonstration. City of Minneapolis public officials like former Chief of Police Brian O’Hara, interim Chief Bill Peterson and Mayor Jacob Frey (along with Minnesota Department of Public Safety Commissioner Bob Jacobson) made no effort to maintain order and enforce the law with respect to Lang’s violent assault at a demonstration outside Minneapolis City Hall.

As a result of the inaction by Minnesota law enforcement officers, there is a strong appearance that Minnesota law enforcement officers either chose,[55] or were ordered, to stand down[56] from their law enforcement responsibilities at Lang’s planned demonstration at Minneapolis City Hall – which allowed chaos to predictably unfold.  Amid the chaos, Jake Lang’s was seriously injured and Lang was deprived of his right to demonstrate under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (among other civil rights violations, for instance the right to free travel). Accordingly, DFL public officials have established a local custom that delivers police protection (or criminal prosecution of offenders) based on political considerations of the parties involved. Therefore, numerous DFL public officials are exposed to criminal penalties under 18 U.S.C. §242 due to their inaction (or active connivance)[57] in the violent assaults on Jake Lang that deprived Lang of constitutionally protected rights outside Minneapolis City Hall on January 17, 2026.[58]

Democrat Public Officials in Minnesota Violate the Equal Protection Clause and Federal Law by Administering the Minnesota Criminal Justice System in a Corrupt and Hyper-Partisan Manner.

Less than three weeks after Jake Lang was violently assaulted at a demonstration in Minneapolis, Jake Lang kicked over an ice sculpture outside the Minnesota State Capitol. Lang was arrested almost immediately by the Minnesota State Patrol. The Ramsey County Attorney’s Office charged Lang with a felony (for property damage at a value of ~$6,000) the very next day. Further, Choi filed an amended complaint on April 8, 2026, and Lang is now charged with an additional felony for damage to property because of bias. Still further, on August 22^nd, Lang was arrested for engaging in a riot because Lang was a passenger in a vehicle that very slowly drove down a sidewalk outside Minneapolis City Hall.[59] Lang and his associates were found and arrested within hours near the Mall of America.[60] In announcing the arrests, the Minneapolis Police Department issued a hyper-partisan statement that included Lang’s political views, and labeled Lang a “far-right extremist.”[61] Accordingly, public officials associated with the DFL have enforced Minnesota law with maximum vigor[62] when it comes to potential criminal conduct committed by Lang, and entirely refused to provide aid to Lang during an hour-long violent assault outside Minneapolis City Hall (despite Minneapolis Police escorting Lang to his demonstration at Minneapolis City Hall). The treatment of Lang by public officials in Minneapolis is consistent with Lang’s treatment by public officials in St. Paul, which exposes the corrupt and hyper-partisan manner with which DFL public officials operate the Minnesota criminal justice system.

Jake Lang’s (unconstitutional and illegal) treatment by public officials associated with the DFL differs greatly from the treatment those DFL public officials gave to Dylan Adams (i.e., the Minneapolis Tesla vandal). In early 2025, Dylan Adams, an employee of the State of Minnesota,[63] was identified as the person responsible for causing more than $20,000 in damage to random Tesla vehicles.[64] Dylan Adams keyed (or otherwise vandalized) at least 6 random Tesla vehicles in the City of Minneapolis soon after Elon Musk (owner of Tesla) joined the Trump Administration.[65] Additionally, Tim Walz (Dylan Adams’ boss) cheered a fall in the price of Tesla stock on the very same day that Dylan Adams began damaging Tesla vehicles.[66] Dylan Adams was arrested by Minneapolis Police and accused of conduct that amounts to terrorism.[67] However, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty exercised her prosecutorial discretion and declined to pursue any criminal charges against Dylan Adams, a State of Minnesota employee that damaged private property based on political motivations.[68] Accordingly, public officials associated with the DFL allowed Dylan Adams, a State of Minnesota employee, to commit 6 separate felonies for property damage with impunity. In July of 2026, Dylan Adams was reported to have been promoted within his department at a State of Minnesota agency.[69] Dylan Adams caused $14,000 more in damage to Teslas than Jake Lang did to the ice sculpture. Further, Dylan Adams victimized random people – where Jake Lang destroyed sculpted ice that would eventually melt).

The difference in legal outcomes for Jake Lang and Dylan Adams is clear evidence of DFL public officials operating a two-tiered justice system where police protection and prosecutorial discretion are exercised based on political considerations of the parties involved. DFL public officials have a pattern and practice of pursuing every avenue of legal action against political enemies, while absolving[70] political allies of any legal ramifications[71] for their conduct.[72] Thus, DFL public officials violate the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution. The Equal Protection Clause requires that all citizens receive equal protection of the law. As described herein, DFL public officials neglect (or refuse) to extend equal protection of the law based on political considerations of the parties involved. Accordingly, Democrat public officials in Minnesota actively undermine the rule of law and other (legitimate) societal norms that are foundational to the United States.[73] As a result of the DFL operating a hyper-partisan (two-tiered) justice system in Minnesota: the U.S. Federal Government must act to vindicate the rights guaranteed to Americans by the U.S. Constitution. Ideally, DFL public officials would be stripped of qualified immunity and forced to pay for their own legal costs associated with a defense to their violations of the KKK Act in relation to Jake Lang.

[14] “[T]he Reconstruction era failed to achieve its goal of creating and protecting civil rights for African Americans. As the economy declined and political tensions in the south rose, Southern Democrats took back power in southern states and the federal government. They used their power to suppress and reverse civil rights gains for free and formerly enslaved black people. These white Southern Democrats passed restrictive voter legislation and electoral laws, like poll taxes, which dramatically disenfranchised large swaths of black voters.”  Reconstruction & Jim Crow Eras, A Brief History of Civil Rights in the United States: Reconstruction and Jim Crow Eras. Howard University School of Law. Accessed September 20, 2026. “Under Johnson’s Reconstruction policies, nearly all the southern states would enact their own black codes in 1865 and 1866. While the codes granted certain freedoms to African Americans—including the right to buy and own property, marry, make contracts and testify in court (only in cases involving people of their own race)—their primary purpose was to restrict Black peoples’ labor and activity.

[17] “The black codes enacted immediately after the American Civil War, though varying from state to state, were all intended to secure a steady supply of cheap labour, and all continued to assume the inferiority of the freed slaves. There were vagrancy laws that declared a black to be vagrant if unemployed and without permanent residence . . . . Apprentice laws provided for the “hiring out” of orphans and other young dependents to whites, who often turned out to be their former owners. Some states limited the type of property blacks could own, and in others blacks were excluded from certain businesses or from the skilled trades. The formerly enslaved were forbidden to carry firearms or to testify in court, except in cases concerning other blacks. Legal marriage between blacks was provided for, but interracial marriage was prohibited.” Id.

[19] In early 1866, “the War Department issued General Orders 3, instructing commanders in the South to protect . . . from prosecution . . . blacks ‘charged with offenses for which white persons are not prosecuted or punished in the same manner or degree.” Mark L. Bradly, The Army and Reconstruction 1865-1877, at 19 (2015). “Between 1865 and 1877, thousands of Black women, men, and children were killed, attacked, sexually assaulted, and terrorized by white mobs and individuals who were shielded from arrest and prosecution. White perpetrators of lawless, random violence against formerly enslaved people were almost never held accountable—instead, they frequently were celebrated. Emboldened Confederate veterans and former enslavers organized a reign of terror that effectively nullified constitutional amendments designed to provide Black people equal protection and the right to vote.” Equal Justice Initiative, “Reconstruction in America: Racial Violence after the Civil War, 1865-1876” (2020).

[21] 42 U.S.C. §1986 states in part: “Every person who, having knowledge that any of the wrongs conspired to be done, and mentioned in section 1985 of this title, are about to be committed, and having power to prevent or aid in preventing the commission of the same, neglects or refuses so to do, if such wrongful act be committed, shall be liable to the party injured, or his legal representatives, for all damages caused by such wrongful act, which such person by reasonable diligence could have prevented; and such damages may be recovered in an action on the case; and any number of persons guilty of such wrongful neglect or refusal may be joined as defendants in the action , , , , But no action under the provisions of this section shall be sustained which is not commenced within one year after the cause of action has accrued.”

[23] 18 U.S.C. §242 states in part: Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State . . . to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, . . . shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both . . . .

[24] Describing an earlier decision, the Court stated it “withheld judgment on the question of whether § 1985(3), as enacted, went any farther than its central concern – combatting the violent other efforts of the Klan and its allies to resist and to frustrate the intended affects of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments. Lacking other evidence of congressional intention, we follow the same course here.” The Court continued, stating “[e]ven if [§ 1985(3)] must be construed to reach conspiracies aimed at any class or organization on account of its political views or activities . . .,” extending § 1985(3) to reach “economic views” was beyond the intent of Congress in passing § 1985(3).
