"A Public Lynching": Justin Jones, Black Tennessee Lawmaker, Responds to Expulsion from State House
We speak with Justin Jones, one of two Black Democratic lawmakers expelled by a Republican supermajority in the Tennessee state House of Representatives Thursday for peacefully protesting gun violence in the chamber last week as thousands rallied at the Capitol to demand gun control after the Covenant elementary school shooting in Nashville. A vote to expel their white colleague who joined them in solidarity failed. "They thought they would silence us, but in fact they amplified it, because the nation can see how racist they are. The nation can see how retaliatory, how authoritarian they are," says Jones. We also feature some of the dramatic exchanges that unfolded on the House floor, which Jones calls "a public lynching" targeting the two youngest Black lawmakers in the Legislature.

People seem to forget it takes a gun to protect innocent citizens against these thugs. Citizens who want to kill, can buy illegal weapons. It’s only the law abiding citizens with a gun that can stop these killers. Every school needs teachers with a gun who are trained and are already given the trust to protect our youth.

Yes, all whites are white supremacists, therefore, born racists and against democracy. So only vote for black political candidates. Though most of the shooters are white and mostly white dominated schools where the tragic murders take place. So, it must be white supremacists who are racists against white children. Statistic show that most violence is due to black on black. Question: What was their plan to take away the gun from the criminals, gangs and nuts? So, voting in non whites will solve all of the problems.

Agreed. Unfortunately, it all stems from FEAR - fear of losing control and fear of ‘them’. Note that these same far-right Repubs are individuals who’s God of the Bible tells them to ‘fear not’! They are afraid of the inevitable change that is coming which is why they want their guns. Again, these same people go to their churches on Sunday and hear from about their Savior Who tells them to ‘have no fear’…that what we are fighting against is ‘not fresh and blood’ but rather against the dark powers and principalities - of manifest destiny and racism.

Yes, and all the racists defending the expulsion don't understand that. If you can expel the representatives of black people, you can take them away from anybody. The message is "Be quiet and obey" to everybody, and everybody should be aware that that's what it is.

actively forcing your way into a legislative chamber, and interrupting a legislative proceeding is unlawful pretty much everywhere across the country. your skin color isn't relevant to this, nor is your party affiliation. encouraging those doing it to continue doing so, is bad move for a politician to make. so you had people encouraging others breaking the law to keep breaking the law, instead of asking for them to keep any protests to the appropriate areas and means of protest. i'm not the slightest bit surprised they got booted. we are not yet a completely lawless country, regardless of how some would seem to act as if we were.
By saying it's a temper tantrum is like the standard of them telling us all to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps while our loved ones are being laid to rest.

Do not vote for the white supremacists racists. Only vote for black candidates. Even though it appears that most of the school children are non black and the shooters mostly white. So, the white supremacists must be white racists. Statistic say that most of the gun violence is black on black; however, so far, thank goodness no black schools by black shooters, but blacks, they do kill black children. Another issue: How are you going to get criminals, gangs & nuts to give up their guns? So, bottom line after this drama playout, is this is all the fault of white supremacists, so vote black.

He said the phrase is from MLK Jr., who said that peace isn’t merely the absence of tension; it is found in the presence of justice. MLK Jr. himself was drawing from the Bible, which Justin Jones also quoted on the spot, in two versions. It’s very clear that the chant - a common one in protests everywhere - was not a provocation in any way. It is evident that these young men have great command of the facts and context of Black history.

Thank you, sir, for your honesty. Right is right regardless of where it comes from. I have heard so many speak of this as insurrection, to which I reply that I have never seen an example of that such in which women and young children bring forth an insurrection. While as a professional Black Businessman I may have not suggested them to get up there with a bullhorn lol, I do understand that they felt like this body has been ignoring the cries for change from the people. But how do you continue on with Business as usual after such atrocities have occurred under your watch? By merely stating, "Let's bow our heads in a moment of Silence" and then back to being concerned about appeasing the special interest groups??? Enough is enough. Will it take one of them losing a loved one to finally take these travesties more seriously? How is it even a question as to whether, as he stated, "Weapons of Warfare" should be allowed on the streets? And the answer some people suggest is to have teachers armed??? A teacher that already is underpaid and stressed out should not have to put their life on the line with a Hand Gun, to fend off a perpetrator with a bullet proof vest on and a AK-47? What kind of nonsense is that? Anyways, I just wanted to say thank you for seeing things as they are and not staying entrenched with a particular group just because you have in the past.

Never believe that that 2nd amendment extremists are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The pro-gun advocates have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.
