“Mostly peaceful” Tennessee legislator on film assaulting driver in 2020

| April 15, 2023

You all know the ‘Tennessee Three’, three legislators whom the Republicans attempted to eject from the state House after disrupting the legislative session, including using a bullhorn in the chamber to make their gun ban points.

What they did is they hijacked the house floor which has never been done in our history,” house speaker Cameron Sexton told National Review of the three lawmakers. “They pulled out a bullhorn. They weren’t 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.”

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 . Some interesting info, though:

Footage of rioting outside the state Capitol in 2020 first shared by Scoop Nashville appears to show Jones repeatedly hitting the driver of a car with a traffic cone. The video, which was resurfaced by the Post Millenial, shows Jones and other activists stopping and surrounding the vehicle before the driver escaped.

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 “peaceful” and claims to the contrary were a “false narrative.”

Jones alleged that police colluded with prosecutors to “weaponize the law as a form of punishment for the mere fact that we chose to stand up.”

National Review

Gotta love those ‘peaceful’ protesters. Bet the driver of the car doesn’t think it was that peaceful. No doubt a Soros-DA dropped charges.

Read an interesting take in the Telegraph in which the author notes how this has morphed from a horrific school shooting, through mostly ignoring that the shooter was trans, to “it’s all the Republicans’ fault since they are anti-trans” now into “it’s all racist” in a matter of weeks. You racist bastards, you made he/she-it do it!

Telegraph   is worth a read.

“They pulled out a bullhorn”

Be funny if he pulled out a traffic cone instead and used it for a bullhorn.

IMO the Traffic Cone has a higher IQ than all of them put together.

No one uses a bullhorn as well as Jimmy Hart.

Jimmy Hart would have smacked this clown and made him queef.

Once again, in a tragedy involving a weapon of choice, there are those who blame guns versus the person who pulls the trigger.

And once again, Double Standards.

“Nashville Flower Shop Refuses Service To Republican Event, Blames GOP For Christian School Shooting”

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/nashville-flower-shop-refuses-service-republican-event-blames-gop-christian-school-shooting

“A flower shop near Nashville refused to provide decorations for a GOP event featuring former President Donald Trump, and urged other businesses to deny future services to the Republican Party in a call for stricter gun laws.”

“Owners of the FLWR Shop in Belle Meade, Tennessee, said they “immediately declined” service for the upcoming Republican National Committee (RNC) fundraiser and encouraged “others in the Nashville event industry to say no to taking money or jobs from the Republican Party until they begin to make the changes to gun laws that most Americans are calling for.”

“At this moment, I cannot ignore the work the RNC has done to create this tragedy and so many others like it,” the FLWR Shop said referring to the March shooting at the Christian Covenant School.”

“The Republican Party has wasted taxpayer money and precious legislative will on banning drag shows, rather than assault rifles that are being used to murder children in their classrooms,” the statement read.”

“We will not be accepting any of your money,” the Tennessee business owners wrote. “The blood of the 3 beautiful babies we lost in Nashville is on that money.”

“Christian businesses have faced backlash in the past for denying services that would go against their religious beliefs, including refusing to bake cakes or create websites for same-sex weddings. However, the FLWR Shop was praised on Twitter for its political statement.”

The FLWR Shop was hit by a tornado in 2020.

“Unfortunately, their first location was completely destroyed in the 2020 tornado. Quinn, Alex and Johnnie thankfully made it down to the basement with their dog Lucy just in time. All they had built was wiped away in a matter of seconds, but thankfully they were almost finished building out what would have been their second location in Belle Meade.”

They stated the Nashville community helped them get back on their feet.

We wonder how many of those who helped were Conservatives who owned a Firearm:

“Thanks to an enormous amount of help and support from the community of Nashville, they were able to get back to work just days after the tornado struck. They will always be enormously grateful to Nashville for doing so much to help get them back on their feet.”

We are sure there are other Nashville Flower Shop owners who would love to have the business of the GOP or those who possess a firearm.

Jack will never get fair shake in Colorado. Al Gayda has taken over the state, with the governor leading the way. He and the leftist legislature is far more concerned about the leftist agenda than he is about normal Coloradoans… Colo is lost, and I’m counting the days till retirement when I can leave this once great state

Is this the mostly filipino “black guy” that doesn’t want you armed because assaulting someone in a car should be exempt from castle doctrine?

Saint George of Fentanyl died for his right to act like an uncivilized 3rd world sh*tholer, where all fealty is paid to tribe for blind justice is ‘MuH wHiTe SuPeMaCy’.

I’ll gladly take one to the dome to defend our natural right to be left the F alone.

Will you pull the trigger, “Mister” Jones?

Different smells, perhaps, but all unpleasant I’d wager.

Sometimes you have to beat somebody with a traffic cone peacefully to get your point across. We have all been there. Let he who has not swung a traffic be the first to shout down his colleagues with a megaphone. It’s for the children

Considering the foot of a traffic cone is heavy, hard, and edged in (most) of the Great State of Texas, and especially at my age, I could take all due measures to protect myself from a deadly assault.

To “cone” the phrase, never bring a cone to a gunfight.
