In New York City, everybody but the richest few percent rides the subway, and they know how bad things have gotten in the wake Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg treating arrests as inequitable since African Americans are disproportionately arrested.
Jordan Neely died in a hospital after being subdued by Marine Corps veteran Daniel Penny with the help of two other passengers (who have not been charged).

Neely “avoid[ed] prison for allegedly slugging a 67-year-old woman in November 2021 during a psychotic episode” by agreeing to a plea deal. Despite a record of more than forty previous arrests, he was allowed to roam the streets, though he was to stay at Harbor House, where he could receive services. When he left there, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Ellen Biben signed a warrant for his arrest on February 23.
Perhaps because police officers realize that arresting any black person can cause enormous career grief, Neely evaded arrest, even while riding subways and being visible on the streets. The justice system, in other words, completely failed to protect the public from a deranged, violent man. So, when riding the subway on May first and threatening passengers with violence, and assaulting some by throwing trash, it was only Daniel Penny who first took action to protect himself and fellow passengers.

“Jordan Neely died in a hospital”
So he was alive when the EMT’s attended him in the subway and then transported him to the hospital where while under the care of the hospital he died.
Was Daniel Penny at the hospital still restraining Neely? NO!
Did Daniel Penny ride in the ambulance still restraining Neely? NO!
How can Daniel Penny be charged with murder when he was nowhere near Neely when he died at the hospital.
If anybody has to be charged maybe little Alvin Bragg should look at the hospital staff.
It’s in the comments there and here. Not sure why the link isn’t directly in the article where it is meant to go.
One or two days after the Neely death, there was a woman ranting loudly, angrily, and unintelligibly from 14th Street to 42nd Street, where she finally got off the train.
No one even looked her way.
If you look real closely (OK, you don’t to look REAL closely), you’ll notice that Daniel Penny is white and had never been arrested.
The “victim” is black and had been arrested over forty times. My personal opinion, the “Marine” in Daniel Penny sensed the PROBABLE danger he and others were in if Neely wasn’t subdued. And, just like George Floyd, he died as a result of his own actions.
We are living in a world where we need more we need more real life people like Paul Kersey, Jack Reacher, Robert McCall and, Daniel Penny.
I double damn guarantee you, everybody that served with Daniel Penny, from his drill sergeant in boot camp to his last commanding officer, is proud to have known you, proud to have served with you and prouder still of what you did on your own. While others cowered, you acted. Only God knows who you may have saved with your actions.
Well done Marine!
So they point out Penny could have already been charged and will punt charging him and then claim a rush to judgement.
“Alvin Bragg didn’t trust a grand jury to indict Daniel Penny for the death of Jordan Neely”
I am not defending Bragg; rather, I am pointing out that the author of the article (and many Freepers) knows nothing about constitutional law. Under both the US Constitution and NYS Constitution, Daniel Perry cannot be held to answer for a felony unless (a) he is indicted by a grand jury; or (b) waives the right to a grand jury. “Indictment” and “arrest,” however, are not the same thing. Under NY law a person can be charged with and arrested for a felony without a grand jury indictment, and indeed, that is the standard operating procedure. Once the defendant is arrested and arraigned on the criminal charge, the district attorney then has 180 days to obtain a grand jury indictment. If Perry wants his case to go to a grand jury, then Bragg will have no choice unless he reduces the felony charge to a misdemeanor. Its that simple.
Thanks, re New York law.
he’s making the same mistake he made with the bodega owner. those charge got dropped due to public pressure
I certainly hope you're right, but with corrupt Bragg, the 'jurors' may be hand-selected for a sure conviction.
BTW, I see that Penny's legal defense fund on give-send-go is nearly $1,000,000.
“he was allowed to roam the streets, though he was to stay at Harbor House, where he could receive services”
So much for him being homeless and hungry.
He was just an intractactable mentally ill sociopath
The process is the punishment.
Goetz came out and said Penny should go to jail.
Note how the media say nothing about the black man helping Daniel Penny Jordan Neely from attacking other people.
Jordan Neely was on K2 (synthetic weed) and the media pimps him as having mental instead.
Per FBI reports all the mass murders shooters were on weed.
The new strength of weed is causing the many psychos to pop.
It’s not your old Woodstock weed.
Alvin Bragg sucks Soros _____
best they can hope for is a change of venue or set things up for appeal to a less insane court.
“arresting any black person can cause enormous career grief” WOW Too bad.
40 prior arrests, including one for smashing the face of a 67 YO woman. If he’d been doing time for his crimes he’d still (probably) be alive. His death is on those who declined to punish him.
Oh, and
SPJNK.
