BLM Leader Calls for ‘Black Vigilantes’ After Daniel Penny Verdict, Despite Group Denouncing Riot Allegations
The acquittal of Daniel Penny in the death of Jordan Neely has ignited nationwide controversy, with Black Lives Matter Greater New York co-founder Hawk Newsome making headlines for his fiery remarks both inside and outside the courtroom.
Newsome, who identified himself as Neely’s uncle, made an emotional outburst in court as the not guilty verdict was read.
“It’s a small f*cking world, buddy,” Newsome shouted at Penny, according to the Daily Mail. Newsome’s remarks appeared to be part of a larger call to action.
Following his courtroom outburst, Newsome addressed supporters outside the courthouse, urging the rise of “black vigilantes.” He called for unity within the black community and criticized the justice system for failing to protect black lives.
“What we preach is unity, black unity. Stop begging this system to justify our lives,” Newsome said, as reported by The Post Millennial.
“Stop begging this system for justice,” he continued. “When things happen to you, you step up and defend yourself. Just like everybody else seeks justice on their own, just like everybody else has vigilantes, we need some black vigilantes. People want to jump up and choke us, and kill us for being loud? How about we do the same when they attempt to oppress us?”
The courthouse scene was far from peaceful. Footage captured by journalist Oliya Scootercaster shows tensions escalating as protestors clashed with police officers. Demonstrators shouted over the verdict, expressing their frustration and anger.
One protestor with a megaphone declared, “This is f*cking sick, they don’t give a God d*mn about us.”
The outrage surrounding the verdict follows claims that Black Lives Matter (BLM) had urged supporters to plan protests if Penny were acquitted. Although the organization has denied encouraging unrest, another co-founder, Chivona Newsome, made incendiary comments about America sparing “a white man.”
In comments made after the manslaughter charge was dismissed on Friday, Chivona said that “glass will break” and riots would occur if that’s what it takes to achieve justice.
In contrast, BLM addressed the accusations on X, refuting the claims but adding a provocative twist.
“Not true,” the group wrote. “But hey, thanks for the inspiration…adding it to Monday’s team meeting agenda. Funny how misinformation can spark great ideas!”
BLM maintained a strong presence throughout the trial, with members gathering daily to demand justice for Neely. Chanting slogans like “subway strangler” and declaring “no peace without justice,” their actions prompted concerns from Penny’s lawyers, who argued that such demonstrations could put jurors at risk.
Acknowledging the crowd and the protestors who stayed committed daily, Newsome said that Black Americans could not rely on law enforcement to protect them or show concern for their well-being.
“We patrol our community. We keep us safe,” he said. “America will never fix the issue of black people because America needs a punching bag. They have designated us as the punching bag.”
“So, f*ck America. How dare you laugh and cheer when someone gets away with murdering us. I don’t want a march. I want a step. Racists: burn in hell.”
