Explosive Rant Caught on Camera – BLM Leader Calls Out ‘KKK Victory’!

The Daniel Penny trial took a contentious turn as Hawk Newsome, the outspoken leader of New York’s Black Lives Matter chapter, made fiery remarks outside the courtroom. Newsome’s comments, accusing the legal system of racial bias, quickly became a flashpoint for debate and outrage.

Standing outside the courthouse, Newsome claimed, “The KKK got another victory,” after the judge dropped the manslaughter charge against Penny. This statement followed the jury’s inability to reach a unanimous decision on the case’s top charge, sparking widespread reactions online and at the scene.

Racial Bias Allegations

Newsome took direct aim at the judicial process, alleging racial prejudice in the jury selection. He told reporters, “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.” His remarks came after the jury deadlocked twice over the manslaughter charge.

The case, which centers on a fatal confrontation on a Manhattan subway train, has become a cultural flashpoint. Newsome argued that race underpinned the entire trial, stating, “Racism has its tentacles all over this case and all over the minds of white America.” These comments fueled tensions surrounding the high-profile proceedings, already marked by heated public discourse.

Jurors Deadlocked on Key Charge

Daniel Penny, a 26-year-old former Marine, faces criminal charges after placing Jordan Neely, a 30-year-old homeless man, in a chokehold during a May 2023 subway encounter. Witnesses claimed Neely had been harassing and threatening passengers when Penny intervened, leading to a struggle that resulted in Neely’s death.

Jurors reviewed a six-minute video of the incident during deliberations, but they remained divided on whether Penny’s actions warranted a manslaughter conviction. With the jury unable to agree, prosecutors dropped the top charge and asked them to consider a lesser charge of criminally negligent homicide. This development, announced by Justice Maxwell Wiley, means the jury will return to deliberate further next week.

Backlash Against Newsome’s Comments

Newsome’s statements outside the courthouse drew swift criticism. On X (formerly Twitter), user Matthew Nichol accused Newsome of attempting to sway the jury, writing, “Radical BLM activist Hawk Newsome is behind the protests outside the courthouse, trying to intimidate the jurors in the Daniel Penny trial. Why are they allowing this?” The post quickly gained traction, amassing over 14,000 likes.

This isn’t the first time Newsome has faced backlash for his remarks. In a previous controversy, he promised “bloodshed” in response to Mayor Eric Adams’ push for tougher policing. Newsome’s history as a polarizing figure has only amplified the public response to his latest comments.

Trial Continues Amid Heated Public Debate

The trial has reignited debates over race, justice, and the use of force in public spaces. Penny’s defense argues that he acted to protect others on the subway, while critics, including Newsome, assert that his actions reflect systemic issues of racial inequality.

Prosecutors’ decision to drop the manslaughter charge has added another layer of complexity to an already contentious case. With deliberations set to continue, the outcome remains uncertain, and public attention is unlikely to wane anytime soon.

As the court reconvenes next week, the focus will shift to whether the jury can reach a verdict on the remaining charge. Meanwhile, the broader conversations sparked by this case are sure to persist, underscoring deep divisions in how the public perceives issues of race and justice in America.
