Jason Johnson is expressing complete dissatisfaction. Guilty, guilty, guilty just means to Johnson that a black man has to be murdered on air to get "even a nominal amount of justice."

I expected at least some riots tonight no matter what happened, and I imagine Johnson's anger is pervasive or he'd keep a cork in it.
