‘Chimping Out!’: Jan. 6 Rioter Shows Up in Monkey Mask Outside What Appears to be Black Ole Miss Students’ Home, Mocking Video That Targeted Them

The controversy over racist Ring camera footage at the University of Mississippi has taken another disturbing turn after far-right influencer Jake Lang shared two videos showing himself protesting inside a campus building and wearing a monkey costume outside what appears to be the Black students’ apartment. In one video, Lang appears to protest inside an Ole Miss campus building. In another, he appears outside the apartment shared by Jakiyra Metcalf, Kaiyden Caldwell and Victoria G. Johnson, wearing an ape mask and making monkey noises, seemingly mocking the racist incident that initially targeted them. “The girls did nothing wrong!
