We have crazy people grabbing guns and doing crazy things,
CNN commentator Van Jones scolded counterpart Buck Sexton on Friday when Sexton tried to link the Black Lives Matter movement to Thursday night’s mass shooting in Dallas, Media Matters reported.
“I think that what’s actually fueling this is not some placard or what somebody said at some rally that nobody even heard, except they got on social media. What’s fueling this is a sense that nobody cares and that the official pronouncements of our government show a level of indifference and a lack of concern,” Jones said. “And I think it’s very, very important that we affirm our right to petition our government for redress of our grievances, and for that to be the main thing that we say and that these minority voices be marginalized. But I am tired of the entire movement being smeared by the extreme words of a few. It’s not fair. It’s not fair at all.”

"We have a problem with crazy people doing crazy things in this country because they can all get guns,” Jones said. “Dylann Roof went in there and shot up a whole church full of African-Americans, and he said he did it because of this racial propaganda that is growing by the so-called alt-right. But we don’t talk about that. Somebody went in and shot up a whole Planned Parenthood saying it’s because they’re a Christian. We have crazy people grabbing guns and doing crazy things, but we should not blame, we should not give them the pass of saying that you’re doing this because somebody held up a placard.”
