Whoopi Goldberg scolds Daniel Penny for celebrating Jordan Neely manslaughter acquittal at a bar

Whoopi Goldberg led the liberal jeers for the acquittal verdict of Daniel Penny on Monday's episode of The View, showing special contempt for the veteran's choice to celebrate at a nearby bar.

The 26-year-old Marine veteran was facing charges of second degree manslaughter and negligent homicide following the subway death of mentally ill homeless street performer Jordan Neely.

Penny's acquittal enraged BLM activists, who instantly called for revenge in the form of black vigilantes.

The 26-year-old quickly dashed to a downtown bar to celebrate his win with his lawyers and ponder his next move.

Goldberg took exception to this choice on Monday's episode of the long-running ABC gabfest.

'I don't know that seeing them celebrating in a bar made me comfortable, you know,' she began, adding, 'I mean, you killed a guy. The man is dead and maybe just – you take the celebration home, you don't do it outside. But that's just me,' the Oscar-winner said.

She, like many on the left, expressed empathy for Neely and the circumstances that led him to being on the subway that night.

'And people are conflicted because he was an ill man and the more information we're learning about him now – turns out his mom had been murdered and that may have been what set him off on his mental path.'

There will NEVER be hope for any Leftie who looks at a person, who is a raving lunatic, threatening innocent people in a closed environment with death...

The root of most leftist philosophy is: If bad things happen to someone, it is because someone else did it too them, someone with power over them. They never have responsibility. If bad things have happened to them, they are automatically a "victim" and therefore innocent.

It is a stupid way to look at reality. This view often inverts cause and effect.

Once labeled as an "oppressor" it does not matter. You are considered evil, no matter how justly you act.

They just LOVE THAT VICTIM LABEL, don’t they.

AND...being a vic means there is an “opressor.”

AND...BINGO, they’re happy.

With 𝕏 and Community Notes it’s becoming easier to see how fake and manufactured the racial narrative has been.

Imagine if we had this in 2020.
