The founder of Black Lives Matter Greater NY claimed anyone who thinks Daniel Penny is innocent has ‘racism in their heart’, before saying ‘the KKK got another victory,“ after the judge in the case dropped the top charge of manslaughter.
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.
