https://www.nydailynews.com/2026/03/07/protesters-throw-smoke-bombs-clash-over-jake-lang-pig-roast-at-anti-islamification-rally-at-gracie-mansion/An Upper East Side anti-Muslim rally led by Jan. 6 rioter and far-right influencer Jake Lang erupted into chaos as Lang and his cronies were confronted by scores of counter-protesters outside of Gracie Mansion on Saturday — the home of Mayor Mamdani, the city’s first Muslim mayor — and a smoking improvised device was thrown, sending demonstrators scrambling for cover.A group of counter-protesters were also pepper-sprayed as they chased down two Lang supporters, videos posted online about the wild protest show.Saturday’s anti-Muslim protest — with Lang demanding an end to what he sees as the “Islamification of New York City” — was fueled by the ongoing war in Iran and Mamdani’s election to City Hall.During the protest a man threw a homemade device at Lang and his crew, who were about 20-people strong, around 12:38 p.m. The object gave off some flames and smoke, but didn’t explode.“They threw a bomb at us!” Lang and his supporters screamed as a suspect was handcuffed.“Get your s— together!” Lang yelled at cops. “This should be a state of emergency!”The incident was captured on NYPD ARGUS cameras, NYPD Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said later at a press conference at the scene.“A counter-protester identified as Emir Balat, an 18-year-old man, lit and threw an ignited device toward the protest area, landing in the crosswalk of E. 87th St. and East End Ave.,” Tisch said. “Witnesses reported seeing flames and smoke as it traveled through the area before it struck a barrier and extinguished itself a few feet from police officers.”
“Mr. Balat then ran southbound on East End Ave. toward E. 86th St. and gets a second device from a man tentatively ID’ed as Ibrahim Nikk, 19 years old,” Tisch added.Balat then lit the second device and started running with it before dropping it on the avenue’s west side between E. 86th and E. 87th Sts., she said.“I just survived an assassination attempt by these two Muslim men,” Lang posted on X. “The homemade bomb they threw landed 3 feet in front of me. The detonator failed to ignite, because God is on the throne of my life.”Cops grabbed both Balat and Nikk, but it wasn’t immediately clear if they were Muslim, as Lang accused. The man who threw the device had another one on him as cops jumped on him and wrestled him to the ground.The NYPD Bomb Squad is examining the devices, which Tisch described as jars “a bit smaller than a football,” wrapped in black tape and packed with nuts, bolts and screws, along with a “hobby fuse” — typically used to ignite fireworks or model rockets.Saturday evening, the NYPD was still investigating if the devices were merely smoke bombs or actual explosive that didn’t ignite, Tisch said.“At this time, we do not yet know whether the devices were functional, improvised explosive devices or hoax devices because we don’t yet know if there was energetic material contained in them,” the top cop explained.By the time the protest ended, at least six people were in custody, including Balat, who hurled one of the devices, Nikk, who allegedly supplied one of the devices to Balat, and the Lang supporter who pepper-sprayed counter-protesters, according to Tisch and police sources. The remaining arrests were for disorderly conduct and obstructing traffic.
“I have been in regular contact with Mayor Mamdani about the situation,” Tisch said. “As of now, there is no indication that this is related to the ongoing hostilities in Iran, but the investigation is still ongoing given the heightened-threat environment.”Mayor Mamdani had no scheduled events Saturday. Tisch believed that Mamdani wasn’t at Gracie Mansion when Lang arrived. An email to City Hall for comment about the protest was not immediately returned.Pro- and anti-Muslim protesters openly shoved and kicked each other during the protest, which began with Lang holding a pig roast at a cafe on E. 88th St. and York Ave. — a direct slap in the face against practicing Muslims, who aren’t allowed to eat pork.Lang and a handful of associates then carried the roasted pig, wrapped in tin foil, down York Ave. against a growing sea of counter-protesters.The far larger group of counter-demonstrators, numbering around 125, banged drums and called Lang and his supporters “Nazis.”The counter-protesters screamed and lobbed eggs at Lang and his supporters as the latter demanded Mamdani be deported and screamed “USA!” back at the demonstrators.Lang also brought a live goat to the protest, which he called “Mamdani’s second wife.”Overwhelmed by the counter-protesters, Lang his supporters ultimately ran to a nearby U-haul truck. Demonstrators tried to prevent their escape as Lang threw himself and his goat into the truck. Protesters then chased after the truck, damaging it, as it sped off.“It’s almost laughable how successful we were in comparison to those Nazis,” counter-protester Isabelle Pinsky, 29, told the Daily News. “There were like six of them and there were tons of us.”Pinsky said she supports Mamdani, but “was pissed at him” for meeting with President Trump. But the mayor wasn’t what brought her to Gracie Mansion on Saturday.“(My goal was) to come here and yell at some Nazis,” she said.
She also wasn’t too concerned about the device that was thrown.“I saw a small box and there was a little bit of fog,” she said. “The cops reacted like it was a live bomb. The drama was a lot of drama.”Before the chaos, one of the first counter-protesters to arrive at Gracie Mansion was 87-year-old William Voelkle. The lifetime Upper East Sider, who has only one eye, proudly walked into a cordoned-off area, his cane leading the charge.“I’m in favor of the new mayor and against the other side that’s protesting against, I guess, what they call the Islamization of Gracie Mansion, which is ridiculous,” said the octogenarian, who saw a poster about Saturday’s protest pasted on a streetlight pole.Voelkle hoped his “presence” would speak volumes against Lang and his cronies.“I have a cane, and I have difficulty walking, but I felt I wanted to come,” he said. “I just hobble along.”Lang was one of more than 1,500 people pardoned by President Donald Trump after their criminal convictions relating to the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.He has since become a right-ring provocateur, holding a pro-ICE demonstration in Minneapolis, during which he claimed he was stabbed by a counter-demonstrator and was saved by his protective vest.On Friday night, three people were taken into custody amid a clash between pro-Iranian regime demonstrators, who erected a shrine to the slain Ayatollah Ali Hosseini Khamenei, the former supreme leader of Iran, and anti-Khamenei protesters at Washington Square Park.The three people arrested were given criminal court summonses and released, an NYPD spokesman said.Lang briefly showed up in a van during that protest and committed a lewd act directed at the pro-Iranian regime protesters.Khamenei was assassinated by an Israeli airstrike on Feb. 28 at the outset of the joint Israeli and U.S. operation intended to topple the Iranian government.
President Trump on Friday demanded the “unconditional surrender” of the Iranian regime and the installation of “acceptable” leaders as conditions to end the weeklong war with Tehran that has spread across the volatile Middle East.
>Professional agitator stages false flagYawn
JAKE LANG LOOKS AND ACTS GAYWHERE ARE THE REAL MEN
Muslims don't care if you eat pork, they just can't eat pork. It's not like Hindus and cows.
>>1495465professional agitator when it's on our sidereal when it's on their side
>“Get your s— together!” Lang yelled at cops. “This should be a state of emergency!”Why are all right wingers such weak, effeminate pussies?
>>1495498Because only the left can use violence at protests and get away with it.
>>1495504but trump pardoned the pedophiles who beat the cop to deathyou don't seem to have a good grasp of reality, esl shill
Bombing? was Mark Rober involved?
>>1495498Their entire existence revolves around outrage over the leftist strawmen in their heads.
>Only Protestants can rule American cities or else we will riotNah
>>1495498The fact his false flag bombing failed.Of course it's going to be buried by the conservatively biased mediaif it was a success, they'd be blasted it everywhere.
>>1495605>Shit bomb>Didnt make the newsI wonder what the correlation was
>>1495506Leftists attempted to storm the White House to kill Trump on May 30th, 2020. They stormed the Capitol to stop Kavanaugh being appointed. They committed sedition with their CHAZ/CHOP zone in Seattle. They've even thrown flammable weapons at Secret Service.Has a single person on the left been charged with seditious conspiracy?No.In fact, going back to to the attempt to storm the White House, to kill the president, with over 50 Secret Service members injured, one building burned up completely, two cop cars set on fire, a nearby church set on fire, and all the multiple police, National Guard, etc. that were assaulted... only one person - ONE PERSON - was charged with a crime, and it was a lousy destruction of government property charge.Then Jan 6th happens, it wasn't even a tenth as violent as the average 'fiery but peaceful' protest the left does, nobody set a fire anywhere, and the only person shot and killed was an unarmed white woman who got capped by police. And then the FBI dropped the hammer on everyone that was there, arrested thousands of people, put thousands more on the no-fly list, investigated every congressman that questioned the election in 2020, and searched thousands of homes of people who were at D.C. that day. The message is very clear: the left can get away with this behavior. The right CAN NOT.
>>1495607Leftists brilliantly decided to only commit these crimes in the delusions of retarded shills, just so they can't be prosecuted.
>>1495456A protestor who bombs is a terrorist, so there.
>RAHOWA>No, not like that!And the world's tiniest fiddle plays a mournful song.
>>1495607>The message is very clear: the left can get away with this behavior. The right CAN NOT.You retards literally got a universal pardon. You by definition got away with that behavior.
>>1495623They had to wait in jail for four fucking years to get pardoned on bullshit seditious conspiracy charges when the left has done far worse, by miles, and one fucking person from that group gets a slap on the wrist destruction of government property charge after they tried to break into the White House to kill Trump? Thousands of people secede from the government in a hostile takeover of a chunk of a major city and only about 30 people get arrested? None of them charged with seditious conspiracy? Suck my dick.
>>1495628how many times have you lost this argument? hundreds?
>>1495485True. I’m always amazed at how little these anti Islam provocateurs actually know about Islam. It’s detrimental to their argument against freedom of religion
>>1495607Power is what you can get away with. It was never about what is written in the law. Maybe if you didn't elect a demagogue retard as a leader who is on the verge of being senile, he could possibly assemble a task force to investigate the happenings around Jan 6th and the 2020 summer of love and arrest all who were responsible for that, but he didn't. So it'll just repeat in 2026 when he gets his ass handed to him in elections.
>>1495629tens of thousands
>>1495607LiesYou can't stop us we are legion
>>1495498The guy's a fucking Jan 6 insurrectionist, too. He has absolutely no right trying to boss the police around.
>>1495456Good. Fuck racists.
>>1495628How many leftists got pardoned?
>>1495660How many leftists were charged with seditious conspiracy? Zero.
>>1495607> from may 29th - June6th a total of about 100,000 protesters were outside of white house over the week>a total of 120 feds and park police were injured by the end>The injury rate against police was 0.12%>no deaths at the white house>Almost all the protesters who committed crimes were arrested and chargedVS.>about 10,000 MAGA marched on the capital on Jan 6th>a total of 140 feds and capital police were injured>The injury rate against police was 1.4%>2 cops died>4 committed suicide a few days later>Historically presidential pardons are post mortem or to reflect modern legal standards (bogus drug charges)>Virtually every rioter received a full pardon despite being convicted with irrefutable video evidence of their crimes
>>1495672because protesting does not meet the legal definition of seditious conspiracy. Leftist never left behind an email chain saying "hey lets all go break down that door with a battering ram" or "lets bring bombs and target certain people"
>>1495682>because protesting does not meet the legal definition of seditious conspiracy.>attempting to kill the president>seceding from the United States
>>1495681>>2 cops diedOh really? The rest of your post is bullshit, but I really want to focus in on this part.Who died at Jan 6th?
>>1495685>the presidents life was in danger>no one actually broke in>no one thought to bring a gun or a bomb like they did to Jan 6th>they tried to kill him with shouting and bad vibes
>>1495686>I'm sure the 4 suicides directly after were for some other reason
>>1495687>chanting they were going to kill him while trying to break in and throwing firebombs at Secret ServiceAnd yet you think the shooting of Ashli Babbitt was okay. >>1495688>4 suicides directly afterSo not at Jan 6th then?
>>1495692>4 suicides directly after>So not at Jan 6th then?haha, yeah got it, totally unrelated>blue lives matter>UNLESS YOURE A PUSSY ASS BITCHMaybe if they had shot a few more violent Jan 6th rioters when they broke in they would have felt like real men and not committed suicide
>>1495692>chanting they were going to kill himHow many people? Do you have any videos of this?>throwing firebombs at Secret ServiceYou mean bottle rockets lol and They set some cars on fire, you can look up a list of their injuries
>>1495695>How many people?Over 5,000. Which brings me back to the rest of your bullshit post.>a total of 120 feds and park police were injured by the end>The injury rate against police was 0.12%Where did you get these numbers?And>Almost all the protesters who committed crimes were arrested and chargedBull. Fucking. Shit. Who else was charged with a crime and what were the charges?
>>1495686Sidenick was assaulted and died January 7th. Unless you think that was just a coincidence that a perfectly healthy 40 year old man dropped dead the day after the rioters sprayed unknown chemicals on him.
>>1495719What did the chief medical examiner say?I'll give you a hint: starts with "natural".
>>1495726>Jan 6 get sprayed with chemicals>Jan 7 die Conservatives: Is this natural causes?
>>1495732What did the chief medical examiner say?
>>1495732Obviously what happened yesterday has no bearing on what happened today. This is Trump's America. You're expected to forget the past unless it benefits trump
>>1495732What chemicals?
>>1495754No one knows, the murderer was never caught. All we know is 6th healthy man sprayed with chemicals7th deadBut you're right I'm sure it was just coincidence
>>1495758This sounds like a conspiracy theory.
>>1495759Facts are facts. Not claiming to have any secret knowledge here. The man was sprayed with what appeared to be mace during the capitol riot. He died the next day. Mace doesnt kill.Connect the dots yourself no conspiracy needed lol
>>1495761>Facts are facts.Here's a fact: The chief medical examiner, Dr. Francisco J. Diaz, told The Washington Post that there was no evidence that Sicknick was injured or had an allergic reaction to chemical irritants.
>>1495818he died the next day esl shill you sound so desperate
>>1495819From natural causes, which you're so desperate to avoid saying.Go ahead. Prove you're not a shill yourself and say what the chief medical examiner said. Say it.
>>1495834>Spam posting with trumps dick in your mouthDon't bite it I've heard trump hates it when you bite him on the dick
>>1495819Look, you just have to accept the ESL shills arguments here. They died of natural causes the day after a MAGA crowd beat them into a coma, and those retards are going to die pretending that he would have randomly died even if he wasn't beaten into a coma
>>1495836you're projecting trump wasn't even at the captiol
>>1495834The full autopsy report was never released to the public, either. Somethings off they definitely murdered him and covered it up to make Trump look bad!
>>1495456These were some very incompetent extremists, thank God everyone's ok!
>>1495840Leftists are so unhinged and violent.I will give them credit though where credit is due, at least this time they throw a smoking object at the people who made them unhappy instead of burning and looting locally owned businesses or pulling elderly people from their cars and murdering them
>>1495834Good post>>1495839Shut up retard. Your entire "he was hit with a fire extinguisher" lie has been repeatedly debunked and falsified. It's hard to believe any of you unhinged "Bryan sicknick truthers" even still exist
>>1495841This was a far right Islamic extremist attack! They are both Muslim ISIS supporters! The Americans on both sides of the stupid pig protest were peaceful, these two are not Americans, they came there to defend Shia Law!
>>1495841>it isn't the insurrectionist podcast host leading an "anti muslim rally" who is violent>it's actually leftists who are violentHow did you get this confused?
>>1495842>waaaaah waaaah my insurrection couldn't get off the ground and I ended up smearing shit throughout the capitollol
>>1495843Sure, jake, everyone believes you.
>>1495842When did I say fire extinguisher? They probably used the heart attack gun to murder him or more likely a micro emitter. You're the only one here struggling with reading comp little man
>>1495839>The full autopsy report was never released to the public, either.And here we go again. Same thing with the Renee Good shooting; because they didn't violate HIPAA and release the medical records of that ICE agent it was a conspiracy. I find it very hard to believe that the head doctor of the District of Columbia is going to cover up a murder for the sake of flyover-state conservatives.
>>1495852>>>/x/
>>1495847It was! The attackers were named Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumib and they are terrorists who were inspired by ISIS! Luckily they were too stupid to know how to make a bomb!
>>1495853>flyover state conservativesYou mean the far right insurrectionists who wanted to kill Nancy Pelosi and interrupt the peaceful transfer of power?
>>1495854https://allthatsinteresting.com/heart-attack-gun
>>1495855You would have to be a gullible Jake Lang fanboy to actually believe this.>>1495857>>>/x/
>>1495856they wanted to kill pence more clearly the rioters were liberal
>>1495858It's a real gun! No need to spam paranormal just because you've never heard of it! It shoots a frozen dart of poison that leaves no trace in your skin but if it melts on you it gives you a heart attack! The CIA made it! That's the kind of technology America has to kill our enemies God Bless the USA and God Damn islamic terrorists!
>>1495859Pence didn't follow Trump's orders. They were far right reactionaries.>>1495861Heart attack guns aren't real>>>/x/
>>1495856Whatever you want to call them. Why the hell would the top doctor in D.C. risk his career to cover up for some random rednecks? It makes no logical sense to do that, so no I'm not agreeing with the 'ur a shill' anon that there's this elaborate conspiracy to cover up a murder, that we still haven't discovered after several years of investigation.
>>1495862Yes they are! You can say they aren't all you like, there's plenty of evidence that the CIA has real heart attack guns! Here's a picture!https://www.military.com/history/cias-heart-attack-gun-cold-war-weapon-targeted-assassinations.html
>>1495688>>1495719Notice how the moment MAGA terrorists cause the death or murder cops, he goes full damage control to pretend it doesn't count
>>1495868These were Islamic terrorists not MAGA!And no one was murdered because their bomb was a dud!
