Justin J.Pearson, was expelled from the State House last week for breaking decorum rules, after breaking into the chamber during the legislative session and leading pro-gun reform protesters in chants in the chamber. Jones in particular shouted chants through a bullhorn, despite not being recognized to speak. The Republican supermajority in the State House ejected Jones by a vote of 72-25.</p>
