A New York Black Lives Matter leader has called for “black vigilantes” to retaliate following Daniel Penny’s acquittal on Monday. Penny, a 26-year-old former Marine, faced charges of second-degree manslaughter and negligent homicide in connection with the 2023 death of Jordan Neely on a New York City subway after Neely was threatening passengers.
"Just like everybody else has vigilantes, we need some black vigilantes,” New York BLM co-founder Hank Newsome said in the wake of the verdict. "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?"
"I'm tired. I know you're looking for us to be like, 'Oh, go and march. Go and march.' No, this weekend, I want you to hold a community event everywhere from the Bronx to Houston to Seattle to Florida. Black people, hold community events and talk about what you need."
The Daily Mail has more.
The homeless, mentally ill black man had been threatening to kill people and telling commuters he was willing to 'go back to Rikers' when Penny, then just 24, intervened and took him to the ground.
He held Neely in a chokehold, alternating between applying pressure and not, in an effort to keep commuters safe until police arrived.
Protesters have stood outside the courtroom every day of the mammoth trial. It took two weeks to even select a jury, followed by four weeks of evidence, and then six days of deliberations.
Those protesters called Penny the 'subway strangler' and warned that there would be 'no peace without justice', which Penny's lawyer argued was a direct threat to jurors.
Outside the courthouse on Monday, after calling for black vigilantes, Newsome addressed the protesters and expressed his love for them.

This is all designed just to make things harder, more complicated for the incoming Trump administration.
Luckily BLM mostly peaceful rioters/looters/arsonists/murderers are allergic to cold weather.
BLM ‘wants a Race War’ when they get shorted two Chicken McNuggets, hot sauce or no hot sauce!
Very bad idea...
Suicide may be a better option...
Justice for Neely?
Okay, dig him up and hold a firing squad.
If he’d stayed in jail for his crimes he’d still be alive today.
Hold the judges and prosecutors who let him remain free to cause mayhem accountable for his mayhem.
Obungo lost for the last time.
Hang it up BLM.
{yawn} We’ve seen this movie.
The Democrats’ playbook sure is getting worn and tattered. Same ol, same ol’…
BLM, like the Democrats are seeking the destruction of the USA now that Trump is coming in as president. Putin and Xi are cheering them on.
>> Justice for Neely?
I’m confused! I thought Neely already GOT the justice he deserved! Man, the rules of justice and righteousness sure have changed since I learned them as a pup...
IOW.....Send money or else.
Exactly!
Like, how much more can he be punished for his crimes?
The focus now should be on those who enabled him to be out in society as a danger instead of harassing Penny for stepping up when nobody else would.
Heck, there were articles not too long ago whining about “WHY won’t anyone help?!”
Well, the why of it is what we’re watching right now.
Because of how they went after Penny, others will be less likely to step up.
“we need some black vigilantes,” New York BLM co-founder Hank Newsome”
I don’t think this BLM guy knows what a vigilante is. It sounds like he’s calling for Mau Maus to terrorize innocent whites. Obama’s grandpa was a Mau Mau.
President Trump should perform some more in-your-face to the Left and create the All Lives Matter Czar.
A Special Counsel To The President to make sure that no American is pigeonholed into only a classification or group, other than American. No colors, no creeds, no ethnicity, no class.
As Ronaldus Magnus said, America is always ‘becoming.’ EVERYONE still wants to come here. We will not let everyone in, but we will not look on you as anything but a child of God. The Glory that is the United States of America is free people uniting to form a more perfect union, to delineate that those inalienable rights DO NOT come from some beneficent ruler. Those inalienable rights come from God and nature’s God.
Anything in the Executive Branch that considers any classification other than the ability or potential to do the job will be expunged from the Executive Branch. Each person is a unique creation, and will be treated as such.
NEELY HAD 43 prior charges for bad behavior.
What is the threshold for stopping him?????????
Where was their support for him when he started going off the rails all those years ago? Where was their concern during the 42 times he’d been arrested? These racist bastards are nothing but a bunch of hypocrites.
No, his grandfather was not a Mau Mau. Wrong tribe, making it about as impossible as having a Nazi rabbi.
With that said, screw BLM. They are a scam, a pox, and a burden.
” we need some black vigilantes “
You have that inability to blend in thing gong against you.
Geez, I hope blacks don’t randomly start knocking out white folks, or shoving them in front of subways.
Apparently, BLM needs to buy some new multi-million dollar mansions.
