*Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable President Earl Ofari Hutchinson on Sunday (05-14-23), blasted the Daniel Penny Defense Fund that has raised more than 1 million dollars and climbing for his defense.

The fund sends the wrong message that vigilantism and taking the law into your hands is acceptable and applauded.

Hutchinson launched a counter-campaign urging Los Angeles residents and donors to give to the true victim, Jordan Neely‘s GoFundMe.

“Neely, not Penny, is the victim and a needy victim, says Hutchinson, “This is why I launched the call for Los Angeles residents and donors to contribute to the Neely Fund.”

He added: This will send the right and strong message that victims of vigilantism will be supported financially and morally.”
