VisitBLM's Hawk Newsome Calls for Vigilante Retaliation After Penny Acquittal
Dec 9, 2024, 05:38 PM
Following the acquittal of Daniel Penny on all charges related to the death of Jordan Neely in New York City, Hawk Newsome, the co-founder of Black Lives Matter of Greater New York, has called for 'black vigilantes' to take action. Newsome's statements, made in response to the verdict, suggest a call for retaliation against those he perceives as 'oppressing' black individuals. He has explicitly mentioned the need for black people to defend themselves, potentially through violent means, against perceived threats. This has led to concerns about potential unrest in New York City, with Newsome's rhetoric implying a readiness to engage in acts of violence similar to those Penny was accused of.
