Black Lives Matter leader sparks outrage as he claims ‘KKK got another victory’ in rant outside Daniel Penny trial

NY Post

"The notorious leader of New York’s BLM chapter caused outrage outside the Daniel Penny trial by slurring the former Marine, saying “the KKK got another victory,” after the judge in the case dropped the top charge of manslaughter.

Hawk Newsome, after the jury deadlocked Friday, told reporters anyone who thinks Penny is innocent has “racism in their heart”, and suggested at least one juror in Penny’s case could be a “white supremacist hold out”, according to a report from the Daily Mail.

“Logically, if you pick a white supremacist jury specialist, and you pack a jury with white people, obviously you think race has a specific role in this case, and obviously you are looking for that one white supremacist hold out,” Newsome said according to the report." . . .

". . .Newsome is a frequent rabble rouser, who who once promised “bloodshed” in response to Mayor Eric Adams’ push for tougher policing.

"Penny, 26, was charged with manslaughter after he allegedly put Jordan Neely, 30, — a mentally ill homeless man — in a chokehold during the May 2023 encounter on a Manhattan F train.

"Neely had reportedly been harassing and threatening other passengers when Penny put him in the chokehold.

"On the second day of deliberations, jurors asked to review the six-minute video shot by another passenger that showed Penny, a former marine, choking Neely.

"Prosecutors begrudgingly decided to toss the manslaughter charge after jurors sent two notes — just hours apart — both saying the group was deadlocked on the manslaughter charge." . . .

Again, this reminder of how other nations regard the work of BLM and BLM heroes:
