If you have no idea who John Lang is don’t worry you’re not alone, Lang was a former activist of Fresno, California, he used to frequent the Fresno People’s Media Facebook Page, he was also an acquaintance to many in the Fresno activist community. What makes John Lang’s story interesting is that he predicted he would be killed by the cops and six days later was found stabbed to death and his home in flames, according to ABC30 his neighbors saw smoke coming out of his house at around 3:00 PM, when the firemen arrived they had to force their way in, because of how well secured the place was, They found John Lang stabbed and unconscious, he would be pronounced dead at the hospital later that day. However that is only one part of the story.
On January 14th, John Lang made a disturbing post on his Facebook profile, predicting his death:
The next day he tried to reach Corin Hoggard of ABC30 but to no avail:
On January 16th he posted this video on his YouTube channel of people he thought were trying to harm him:
John Lang also asked people to stay at his home Later that night, with guns to protect him:
The next day, on Jan. 17, he wrote this open letter to the DOJ and FBI.
Open Letter the the USDOJ and the FBI I am fairly certain that Fresno Law Enforcement is trying to set me up on some type a charge related to child pornography. I’ve been trying to figure out why they would send Child Molester George Adams Ramirez my way when I was renting the property next to me for Don Green. Also I was at a loss as to how Fresno LE was able to turn so many people against me so quickly. The only thing that makes sense coupled with George Ramirez situation is if Fresno LE told these folks I was a child porn suspect. Imagine a police officer dressed in his official uniform pulling up in a police cruiser. Imagine the same police officer or detective telling a group of coworkers of the accused or other folks that said person is a bad guy who is under investigation for the crimes of child pornography, and cops would like their help in putting a really bad guy away. This would be a no brainier for most reasonable people. There is no more heinous, hideous, and inhuman crime than that of a child porn person. This crime evokes more human emotion than any other. And it is to that effect that Fresno Law Enforcement uses to suit their purpose in my situation. It’s Fresno Law Enforcement’s “weapon of mass destruction”. This would also explain why the FBI shows little interest in my pleas for help. There has long been a believe in Law Enforcement circles that if someone is guilty of something, then helping that process along by fabricating evidence is completely acceptable. This rational can provide a loophole for truth and justice to be ignored when an innocent person is charged or suspected of crimes, as it is with my situation. Let this example serve as a warning to all my activist and blogger friends. We are by no means free. If and when the Government targets us, we are completely and utterly done, and there is really nothing we can do about it. Through my example the Government is trying to drive home the point that they want obidient, submisive, and loyal subjects. And they will settle for nothing less.. I’m also fairly certain I’ve figured out how Fresno Law Enforcement handled the actual access and internet distribution of the offensive material. Let’s just say that the FEDS should re-investigate all Child porn cases in Fresno where ATT Internet Services provided the Internet service. Especially cases where the accused had a conflict with the City Of Fresno or high ranking City of Fresno personnel. Other elements are simply handled by planting various elements of false evidence here and there once they enter a residence. That is why Fresno LE was so determined to get a search warrant for an official home entry in my case. As I’ve mentioned in the past Fresno LE had already illegally and secretly entered by home, copied my hard drives in order to get a good game plan for the eventual false arrest. There also appears to be a pattern here. Anyone who has ever talked publicly about, accused, or discussed Jerry Dyer’s suposed sex scandle with that 16 year old girl has found themselfs in some type of legal peril within a few short years.. And with this letter I have for certain signed my death warrant with Fresno LE. Kind Regards,
John Lang

Three days later he was dead. To many this would be the delusions of a paranoid man, the problem is, this is the Fresno Police Department we’re talking about. Lang installed cameras on the front of his home and recorded about 8 months of harassment by the Fresno Police on his YouTube Channel, one of the most creepy videos shows a van pointing a thermographic camera at his home:
Alleged reason for being killed
John Lang claims his story began in 2009 in the Fresno Bee regarding some comments he made from 2009 to 2013 about the use of FPD’s and Fresno’s Fire Department’s budget.
I am being targeted by multiple City of Fresno departments and the Fresno Sheriff’s Office for comments I made on the Fresno Bee from 2009 to 2013. Comments that were critical of the way Fresno PD and Fresno Fire utilized their budgets. My Disqus handle during that time was “John21”. Posters on the Fresno Bee, using the then Disqus comment system were suppose to be anonymous. However, Fresno Bee employee Jody Murray shared Fresno Bee log data and ip address information with Jared L McCormick, a Fresno Sheriff Sergeant, who then used the Fresno Bee provided information to retrieve name and address information in order to maliciously track-down, stalk, and harass Fresno Bee comment posters, including myself. McCormick’s Disqus handle on the Bee was “Hikerdude1967”. I notified Jim Boren, the then Fresno Bee Editor via email on two occasions in 2013 regarding an employee at the Bee who was sharing website ip and log data of Fresno Bee commenters with Fresno PD and Fresno Sheriff personnel. I explained in these emails that as a result of Jody Murray’s nefarious efforts Fresno Bee commenters were subsequently stalked and harassed by Fresno Law Enforcement. I never received a reply from from Mr. Boren on either occasion. However, consequently, I have been made a constant target of harassment, intimidation, and worse by multiple City of Fresno Departments and the Fresno Sheriff’s office.
He reached out to Fresno People’s Media regarding why the constant harassment from the Fresno Police department, unfortunately Fresno People’s media has been taken down but fortunately thanks to the wonders of Archive.org the article can be retrieved. Apparently John Lang had discovered among many things a scam involving license plates.
