A man who’s been identified as both a relative, close friend, and nephew of the deceased George Floyd was arrested sometime on Thursday for alleged intimidation of jurors assigned to Kyle Rittenhouse’s homicide trial, having previously threatened to publicly identify jurors and expose them to violence and harassment. Cortez Rice was reportedly arrested Monday in accordance with a warrant accusing him of communicating with jurors.
Leftist militants immediately proceeded to raise money for Rice’s bail.

It’s unclear at this time of Rice was arrested for the threats made in his video uploaded during the Rittenhouse trial, or subsequent jury intimidation following Rittenhouse’s acquittal. Considering Rice’s warrant alleged communication with jurors, it’s possible Rice either encouraged or communicated with jurors themselves subsequent to the trial.
Cortez Rice, who has variously been identified as a associate and relative of the armed robbery convict Floyd, previously threatened to identify Rittenhouse jurors during the trial in a social media video.
“I ain’t even gonna name the people that I know that’s up in the Kenosha trial. But it’s cameras in there. It’s definitely cameras up in there. There’s definitely people taking pictures of the juries and everything like that,”
“We know what’s going on, so we need the same results, man. We need the same results,” said Rice in the video. Rice’s threats were followed by a jury intimidation attempt on the part of MSNBC, which tasked an operative to follow a jury bus and photograph the license plates of jurors assigned to the case.
Rice previously filmed himself bragging about entering a building where a Minneapolis-area judge lives, in an act of judicial intimidation in defiance of democracy and an independent judiciary.

Floyd himself has been largely coronated as a God among progressive liberals, with New York City’s government laying down the hammer on a man who dared to protest a Floyd statue in an act of defiance to authoritarian anarcho-tyranny.
I must say video has been so helpful during the past 2 years. The comments that use to slip past as hearsay or figures of speach within emails are now daming evidence when caught on “TAPE”.
Why is everyone still talking about this thug that died of a drug overdose while resisting arrest? HE WAS A THUG and Apparently so is his entire extended Family
You mean St. Floyd of Fentanyl?
Is Kamala going to donate?
Floids Felonious Family
St. George of the ‘Hood. And the extended family doesn’t seem to be any better. Dregs of society.
So, isn’t a Nephew a relative?
I mean, it’s hard to look past stuff like that in articles posted by journos.
Lock him up.
Is Cortez some kind of synonym for “idiot”?
I wonder if he and the Floyd video taker, Darnella Frazier, are pals.
Give credit where credit is due. George is now 18 months sober.
You do have a point, my wife and I celebrate every August 25 because it has been another year Ted Kennedy has been Sober since 2009!
When I was growing up in the 1950s teachers would threaten students with “that will go on your permanent record” who knew 70 years later people would be recording their own bad behavior making their own “permanent record”.
I am glad we did not have cameras that recorded things when I was a kid because I am sure I would have recorded some of the stupid things I did. Fortunately my “permanent record” if it exist at all is stored away in some warehouse (perhaps next to the Ark of the Covenant from Indiana Jones)>
Cat got a running gear?
So when does NBC thugette Byon get arrested?
She admitted she had multiple people stalking the jurors trying to take pictures, for who knows what reasons.
