UPDATE:
Justin Jones, who was reinstated in spite of the House rules, has quite a history of radicalism.
Unearthed surveillance footage from a 2020 Black Lives Matter protest outside the Tennessee Capitol shows newly reinstated Rep. Justin Jones throwing a traffic cone at a driver in frustration.
Jones, 27, who was returned to office after leading a protest in the Capitol against gun violence in the wake of the Nashville school shooting, was seen on video blocking a street with six other demonstrators on June 18, 2020.
Dressed in all black and a tan-brimmed hat, the future lawmaker could be seen attempting to stop a white truck trying to drive around them by placing a traffic cone in front of the vehicle.
Undeterred, the driver runs over the cone, causing the group to approach the truck and yell at him with a megaphone.
Appearing angered by the driver’s actions, Jones can be seen pulling the cone from underneath the vehicle and using it to repeatedly jab the driver, who attempts to smack it away.
As the driver tries to speed up, Jones tosses it into the truck, but the driver quickly pushes it out and makes his getaway.
During the incident, another driver on the opposite side of the stalled road could also be seen confronting the protesters, with their vehicle inching forward until it bumped into one of them.
Despite the small push, the protester, wearing a neon-green long-sleeve shirt, threw themselves on the ground and lay down in front of the car as another demonstrator rushed to check on them.
Jones has repeatedly claimed that the chaotic incident was not violent after District Attorney Glenn Funk attempted to indict him in 2021 for participating in the protests in an “aggravating” manner.
Tennessee’s Republican-controlled House of Representatives voted 72-25 on Thursday to expel three the first of three Democratic lawmakers for leading gun control protests that spilled into the state Capitol building last week.
State Rep. Justin Jones (D-Nashville) was ousted for inciting protesters to disrupt deliberations on the House floor after three adults and three children were gunned down at the Covenant School in Nashville March 27 — as Republican lawmakers weighed taking actions on two other representatives, Gloria Johnson (D-Knoxville) and Justin Pearson (D-Memphis).
Three days after the bloodshed, Johnson, Jones, and Pearson held hands as they entered the House chamber before taking over the well, eventually leading protesters packed into the upper gallery in chants.
“No action, no peace,” Jones shouted through a bullhorn as he held up a sign that read “Protect kids, not guns.”
Republicans said the lawmakers “did knowingly and intentionally bring disorder and dishonor to the House of Representatives through their individual and collective actions,” according to expulsion resolutions drafted against each.
Hundreds of students, parents and teachers joined the representatives as they marched into the state Capitol to demand stricter gun laws.
The so-called “Tennessee three” admitted they broke House rules and stripped of committee assignments and lost ID access to the state Capitol.
"This was a peaceful protest," she says about a video of people shoving state troopers. https://t.co/dw4NxV53ng

Based on the Feds’ criteria of insurrection and violence, this certainly requires arrest and imprisonment in Biden’s gulag.
