Disagree. It shouldn’t have gone past the grand jury. Having a sham trial and wasting everyone’s time is not how the justice system should work. Glad there wasn’t too much BLM outrage after the acquittal other than a few grifters.
I also found it weird that the jury took almost a week to deliberate, said they couldn’t agree on the higher charge, then when that was thrown out they acquitted on the lesser charge almost immediately. Strange.
This sounds like outrage:

A Black Lives Matter activist called on “black vigilantes” to avenge Jordan Neely’s death immediately following Daniel Penny’s acquittal Monday.
“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,” Walter ‘Hawk’ Newsome, a BLM leader who describes himself as Jordan Neely’s uncle and was in the courtroom every day of the trial, said outside the Manhattan courthouse.
“Just like everybody else seeks justice on their own. Just like everybody else has vigilantes. We need some black vigilantes,” he told reporters and protesters who had turned out daily in support of Neely during the weekslong trial.
“F—k America. How dare you laugh and cheer when someone gets away with murdering us,” Newsome added, apparently referencing the applause that erupted in the courtroom after the verdict. “Racists: burn in hell.”
