Spencer Pratt rally descends into chaos as blows traded outside LA’s Union Station
NY Post ^ | July 11, 2026 | Ross O'Keefe

Posted on 07/11/2026 3:08:01 PM PDT by Red Badger

An impromptu Spencer Pratt rally in the heart of downtown Los Angeles devolved into a vicious brawl Friday.

Jake Lang, a far-right political activist and online influencer, led the event. Wearing a brown tactical-style vest, he carried a sign that said, “Deport Nithya Raman back to India,” and another sign that said, “Spencer Pratt can save L.A. from Communists.”

Some in the crowd didn’t take the message well.

Astonishing footage shows a counter-protester punching Lang and tossing him by his vest to the ground. Lang is then seen scurrying away from the detractors as people defending him used pepper spray and stun guns to deter an opposition crowd outnumbering them.

The crowd continued to chase Lang and pepper him with blows after the confrontation. At least one person wearing a Palestinian flag and a person waving a Mexico flag are seen harassing the right-wing personality.

One Lang defender, Proud Boy Jon Mellis, allegedly hit a woman during the brawl. A later video showed a person beating a shirtless Mellis as he cowers with his hands over his head. People with Lang attempted to use stun guns to help Mellis to little avail. At one point a woman wearing a “PRESS” vest is seen screaming at Mellis.

“Man or woman, you come at me violently…you learn your lesson,” Mellis is heard saying.

Counterprotesters screamed “get the f–k out of LA” and accused Lang of being a pedophile.

Anyone still think peaceful coexistence with the left is possible?

Anyone?

How do we know Lang and Mellis aren’t paid SPLC operatives? I don’t trust the Fake News Media suddenly anoint people to be the voices of the right. I don’t know if Pratt himself is a righty.

I can't see what the problem is. Seems deporting communists is a good idea.

and of course the local commie media who protect Bass and Raman AT ALL COSTS even though they ALL live in gated communities will rally to Raman’s defense and accuse Pratt who they all hate of being a “Right wing extremist”

An”counter protester” or a hard left radical. Lang “scurries” away. You know like what rats do. “Away from the detractors” or …the violent mob. “Opposition crowed” …or out of control mob. You cannot hate the press enough. They have no idea that of the SHTF in this country they are buying themselves a spot in the crosshairs.

It's because libs are novelty seekers. If some weird foreign restraunt opens up, they flock to it. If the latest fad is to stick a tulip up your butt, libs will flock to it. Libs are novelty seekers. Voting for some dark secret from the slums of India is so much more "edgy" than voting for a successful farmer from the Central Valley.

It’s a full-contact sport with the Left. Always be prepared and ready for it.

Looks like the organizers had pepper spray and stun guns. That’s better than in the past.

This is a rerun of KPD and Röterfront Kampfverbunde in 1920s Germany.

They almost won, too - or I suppose you could say they did win when the red flag was hoisted on the Reichstag in May 1945.

The difference between Germany 1929-33 and the USA today is that DSA-antifa does not yet face an effective opposition to fight them on their terms.

These attacks by anticrap will continue until we fight back more violently than they do.

Not me. You can’t find common ground with people who think they are smarter and better than you and who are not willing to even consider your view of life. More specifically, I can’t be around people who want to take away my freedom and individuality. I could not live in a commune of any sort, and don’t want to.
