BLM leader calls on 'black vigilantes' to rise up after Daniel Penny's acquittal
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A Black Lives Matter leader who has been in the courtroom daily during the Daniel Penny subway trial called on 'black vigilantes' to step up after the Marine veteran was found not guilty on Monday.Walter 'Hawk' Newsome, who says he is Jordan Neely's uncle, threatened Penny inside the courtroom during the chaos which immediately followed the verdict. He shouted 'it's a small f**king world, buddy.' Then, speaking to media and later protesters outside the courthouse, Newsome said it was time for 'black vigilantes.' 'Everybody else has vigilantes. We need some black vigilantes,' he said. '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.' The comments came as protesters across the street set their sights on police, chanting 'f**k the police' and questioning why they weren't patrolling the train to defend Neely. Outside the courthouse on Monday, after calling for black vigilantes, Newsome told those same protesters he 'loves them.' He singled out several by name who have been there 'every day, in the freezing cold' shouting insults at Penny. Newsome told the crowd that black people could no longer rely on authorities to keep them safe or place value on their lives.
