They weren\u2019t recognized. They were ruled out of order and they led a protest from the house floor with a bullhorn to those in the balcony. They shut down the proceedings of the house. We had to go into recess due to their actions.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Since of the three the lone white woman (who, it should be pointed out, did NOT use the bullhorn) failed to be expelled by one vote it was ray-ciss, right? But regardless of his conduct, after being expelled, Nashville County named Justin Jones as their interim rep until he (presumably) gets re-elected .

The video, which was resurfaced by the <em>Post Millenial<\/em>, shows Jones and other activists stopping and surrounding the vehicle before the driver escaped.<\/p>\n<p>Jones was charged with assault, assault on an officer, and reckless endangerment, for which he was indicted on two counts after the video was presented to the grand jury in his case. Despite his violent behavior, Jones claimed in June 2021 that he was being \u201cpeaceful\u201d and claims to the contrary were a \u201cfalse narrative.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jones alleged that police colluded with prosecutors to \u201cweaponize the law as a form of punishment for the mere fact that we chose to stand up.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/tennessee-house-democrat-justin-jones-170100137.html\">National Review<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Gotta love those &#8216;peaceful&#8217; protesters.
