Van Jones: If Chauvin Not Convicted in Floyd Trial, America Will Be in a ‘Dangerous Position’
Breitbart ^ | March 29 2021 | Pam Key

Posted on 03/30/2021 2:11:31 AM PDT by knighthawk

CNN political commentator Van Jones said Monday on CNN’s “Cuomo Prime Time” that if former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin were not found guilty of killing George Floyd, America would be in a “dangerous position as a country.”

Jones said, “Everybody I’m talking to are frustrated, re-triggered, re-traumatized. Seeing that video, seeing the complete contempt for life. You have a generation of African-Americans and their allies — I’m talking this entire young generation—that is watching this to see if America — listen, the system is on trial here. The system is on trial. and I can’t tell you, people have tried to push away from this, move on from this. Today brought it all back home for tens of millions of people. And if this is considered legal conduct from a police officer, if you can do this in broad daylight and not go to jail, it will be perceived as open season, telling police officers from coast to coast you can literally get away with murder in broad daylight. So, this was, I think, today was a brutal day for the people who were able to watch. A lot of people weren’t even able to watch. They said, I just can’t even put myself through it again.”

If he’s not convicted, Minneapolis will burn, stores will be looted and Whites assaulted.

And to think the left complained that Gotti menaced and tainted the jury verdict.

Van should be in jail for trying to coerce the jury.

Perhaps Van Jones needs to be delt with. Such Rhetoric is racist and non American

van jones should immediately be contacted by the justice department for attempting to influence an ongoing legal case.

There are these little things called the facts and the law.

And your mask comes off to reveal the Ku Klux Klansmen underneath!

VanJones is the one who should be in jail, not Chauvin!

He should be arrested and charged with jury tampering and threatening federal officers.

sounds like he’s inciting riots, that’s the new standard since Jan 6. Hold him financially accountable for all the damage caused if there are any.

Threats of violence if they don’t get the verdict they want. No wonder I no longer trust our justice system.

The law has been weaponized

If there is no law, then, there is no law

Van Jones has no protection

Translation; If we don’t like the verdict orders will go out to start rioting.

Jones is a Communist. Identifying with the cult of mass murder makes one delusional, fills the Heart with Hate.

His grasp of reality is tenuous, but his words are a hint of the coming Summer of Fire, when our cities burn.

Exactly.

I’ve been thinking the same thing for a long time. They absolutely can’t wait for a not guilty verdict and a reason to riot.

The day the verdict is announced, the Soros buses full of rent-a-rioter thugs will be lined up and waiting in uMinneapolis, the riots will start immediately. Probably before sundown, but they might wait for cover of darkness.

We need to start scouring Craigslist for want ads looking for rioters for hire.

There is a local black “leader” here that said pretty much the same thing. The facts be damned.
