Tonight, Missouri lynched another innocent Black man.
Governor Parson had the responsibility to save this innocent life, and he didn’t. The NAACP was founded in 1909 in response to the barbaric lynching of Black people in America — we were founded exactly because of people like Governor Parson who perpetuate violence against innocent Black people.
We will hold Governor Parson accountable. When DNA evidence proves innocence, capital punishment is not justice—it is murder.

The acquittal of Daniel Penny in the death of Jordan Neely has effectively given license for vigilante justice to be waged on the Black community without consequence.
It's a painful reminder of the inequities in our justice system. Jordan deserved compassion. Instead, he was met with violence.
We stand with his family in calling for accountability.
Daniel Penny acquitted of criminally negligent homicide in subway chokehold death of Jordan Neely after more serious manslaughter charge was dismissed

Community note
Daniel Penny did not act alone in defending himself and others from Neely.
A black man can be clearly seen assisting Penny to subdue Neely.
A black woman testified in defense of Penny.
There is no evidence that Penny was motivated by race.
