<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/naacp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NAACP</a> attempted to use Marine veteran Daniel Penny&#8217;s acquittal to stir racial unrest on X, and immediately got hit with a community note laying out several key points explaining why race had absolutely no bearing on that case.</p>
<p>Penny was acquitted on Monday in the death of Jordan Neely, a black man who had a relatively impressive rap sheet before he began behaving erratically and threatening people on a New York City subway. Penny stepped in to stop him, briefly placing Neely in a choke hold — and while he died later, Neely was alive when police arrived on the scene.</p>
<p>The NAACP shared a CNN report on the acquittal and added the following commentary: &#8220;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&#8217;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.&#8221;</p>

<p>The response from Community Notes was as thorough as it was quick:</p>
<p>&#8220;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,&#8221; the note read — and included video showing proof that at least one black man had aided Penny in restraining Neely.</p>
<p>&#8220;It should be noted that another black man attempted to restrain Jordan Neely,&#8221; the video was captioned. &#8220;This event was not racial nor was the verdict. If you wanted to show compassion to Mr. Neely it should&#8217;ve [come] during the 100+ prior times he was arrested. He was a danger to his community. Just a fact.&#8221;</p>

<p>Sage Steele also responded to the NAACP, adding, &#8220;Stop. Please read/stop ignoring the facts of the case. Not only is your claim of racism inaccurate, it’s divisive, and it causes the @NAACP to lose even more credibility, which affects those in need when racism is actually taking place.&#8221;</p>
