Danny Penny’s giveSendGo legal fund has now reached $2.2 million. From FL lawyer Jeff Childers’ Covid and Coffee email this morning:
___________________________________________________________
đ„ After multiplier for subway hero Danny Penny was multiplied, over the weekend it multiplied again, soaring to nearly $2 million so far, which guarantees Danny will get a complete defense, one usually unavailable to most folks who canât afford specialist lawyers, experts, jury trial consultants, practice trials, and appellate lawyers involved from day one. Not to mention that Danny can now also afford a civil lawyer and all the other support for that case, to defend the lawsuit Jordan Neelyâs relatives already have in the works.
By the way, Jordan Neely supporters, and his family, argue that the late ex-con drug addict never actually touched anybody before Danny put him in the tragically fatal headlock. That is misdirection. The crime of âassaultâ arises when you put someone in legitimate fear for their life or safety, such as by pointing a gun at them or telling someone youâre going to beat them up. Assault carries the same punishments as battery (when contact occurs), and the two crimes are considered equivalents for a reason.
At minimum, the undisputed facts show Jordan Neely was assaulting everyone on the subway car.
Over the weekend, I thought a lot about Danny Pennyâs fundraiser. The unbelievable response to his plight, and the outpouring of gratitude from tens of thousands of total strangers has deep meaning, meaning far beyond dollars and cents. It says something about all of us, something good, a flash of spirit and hope and a glimpse into a deep well of untapped resistance that our adversaries probably thought had long since been dispirited and squashed.
Danny Pennyâs case might just be the point where the tide began to turn. That might sound melodramatic, but itâs true. This doesnât feel like just another viral story.
Think about this: I donât believe that either Governor DeSantis or Scott Adams has ever encouraged their followers to donate to a specific fundraiser before, not once. Multipliers like the ones weâve been doing for two years remain unique. Itâs not an accident.
There are reasons why politicians and influencers do not encourage people to donate their money to the latest cause celebré. It might be risky. If you direct folks to donate to somebody, and that person later turns out to be a stinker, a fraud, or a crook, some folks might blame YOU, or your enemies could use the momentary fundraising relationship against you somehow.
The fact DeSantis and Scott Adams were willing to crawl out on the limb with us is new, itâs different, and I believe it is significant.
So, what is it? What makes Dannyâs case special? Well, for one thing, he wisely stayed out of the limelight, so the media canât publicly vivisect him, reporting stuff about Danny for people to dislike.
But, with Dannyâs personality out of the picture, I think what it really shows is: our American society is not, in fact, suicidal. We want to live. We arenât giving up. We do intend to forcefully eject the satanic termites whoâve hollowed out our government and our educational institutions and send them swarming back to China or Venezuela or the Gates of Hell, we donât really care which.
Dannyâs developing story is already incredibly encouraging, not just for what it says about Danny, but also for what it says about US.
THERE IS HOPE!!!
Very good news!!!
This could be the spark that ignites the tamped spirit of freedom.
Let FREEDOM ring, for Danny, and, for all who have faced injustice, by this tyrannical regime.
