Jones: in his own words

Van Jones
December 2, 2005: “You’ve never seen a Columbine done by a black child. Never. They always say, ‘We can’t believe it happened here. We can’t believe it’s these suburban white kids.’ It’s only them. Now, a black kid might shoot another black kid. He’s not going to shoot up the whole school.”

Also, he talks about us having discussions about what to do with young black men, young Latinos, are they animals, are they not?

Animals? I don’t remember that being part of the discussion when talking about the problem of crime in the inner city.

“Just a little bit more!”
