2026-02-05 Jake Lang was arrested in Minneapolis after destroying a sculpture the local Veteran-ran Common Defense organization bought permits to display. One of the Veterans commented, “As a United States Marine, I swore an oath to the Constitution, not a political party; not an agency, the Constitution”. Another Veteran commented, “I gave eight years of my life in service to this country in the military. For a January 6 insurrectionist to destroy our display is an attack on the First Amendment veterans like me fought to defend”.
