Alvin Bragg is a dangerous BLACK SUPREMACIST. Charging Daniel Penny is his clear and succinct statement that Black Supremacy reigns.

You are the end product of the Marxist strategy of calling everyone a racist. Good people become so afraid of being called “racist” that they will bend themselves into pretzels to deny the truth or even talk about the truth.

The full article is well worth the read for those who want to click through (no paywall or annoying pop-up ads).

It is obvious that Leftists want a society where masculinity is neutered. This is why boys are now encouraged to wear dresses to school and groom themselves to be more like girls. This will result in a compliant, submissive population who will mask up when told to and will obey their political leaders (masters).

People who stand up for themselves and attempt to protect others, like Daniel Penny, therefore need to be taken down and made an example of.

Fortunately over $2 million has already been raised for Penny's defense fund and so he will have a first class defense. I think he beats this, even in New York City.

Actually especially in New York City because most of the jury will be subway riders themselves and can relate to the situation Penny was placed in.

I've mentioned before the NYC subways and that they are generally safe. Some get annoyed when I say that but it's true. For full disclosure, I'm basically riding the subway on Manhattan below 59th Street during business hours or out of Times Square after a show. I'm sure it gets more sketchy when you go out to the outer boroughs, especially after dark.

I would not recommend the subway to tourists only because the subways here can be very confusing and you don't want to be down in the subway not confident of what train to get on and where you will be in the city when you come out of it.

Also, there is a certain attitude you should have when riding the subway. You want to project yourself as a seasoned rider with a hard edge about you. You don't want to come off as a wide-eyed tourist or you will be more likely to be a target. Don't make eye contact with anybody. If anybody comes down the aisle singing or dancing or selling candy, pretend you don't even see or hear them. What I like to do is put my earbuds in and pretend I'm listening to loud music. Even the more aggressive panhandlers tend to leave you alone when you have earbuds in your ears.

You judge me like you judge the article and the situation

Ignorantly

I know that people in NYC can manage a situation on a subway car as in this situation, without considering race

And I agree.

Daniel Penny didn't do what he did because of racism. I doubt even Jordan Neely was acting out of racism.

That said, Alvin Bragg is inserting racism into the situation as is the Mayor (about this situation, the Mayor said, "one of our own was killed...a black man...black like me"--see this on video HERE).

The last bill that JFK signed emptied the mental hospitals and put them on the streets as JFK tried to federalize mental health and take it away from the states.

“Two events that took place near the middle of the twentieth century can arguably be blamed for the convergence of homelessness and mental illness. These events, fueled by a constellation of additional circumstances, sent society on an irreversible trajectory that has resulted in the explosion of the population of homeless people who struggle with mental illness.
They are:
In 1954 a drug called chlorpromazine (more commonly known as Thorazine) hit the market.
In 1963 President John F. Kennedy signed The Community Mental Health Act.”

“Armed with misinformation and backed by psychiatrists who over sold the idea, President John F. Kennedy signed the Community Mental Health Act of 1963. The legislation, which was supported by members of academia, medicine and the political community, was designed to integrate people with mental illness back into society. It was intended to provide federal funding for community health centers and research facilities that would treat patients locally while allowing them to work and live at home. This resulted in widespread deinstitutionalization and despite enthusiasm for the plan, many people returned to communities where there were no facilities in place to deal with them. Tranquilizing drugs like chlorpromazine became the panacea for the mentally ill. Unfortunately, this plan was never fully funded and only half of the proposed centers were ever built. Many states simply closed their mental hospitals without spending any money on community-based care. This led to legions of mentally ill homeless people.”

Sheesh. I just reread the article (3 times now...once in deference to you).

The article does not explicitly use the word "racism," but it talks all around it.

Take this paragraph for example:

Daniel Penny’s arrest for intervening to stop a clearly deranged career criminal sends a loud message: only a fool would risk being a good Samaritan, especially since the culprit’s unseen physical condition from drug abuse may put him on the edge of death. Nearly everybody remembers drug-addled George Floyd.
If George Floyd had been just another drug addict, would the nation have gone up in flames?

No.

BTW, the reason subway riders are afraid is not because the city is overrun by schizophrenics like Neely. It is afraid because the police are afraid. And the police are afraid because racist politicians and DA's will single them out for conviction.

Ignore race. America’s major coastal cities: New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Baltimore are declining into violent cesspools. Subways and other forms of public transportation are plagued by criminals. In New York, and other cities, it is safer to ride a cab or use a car service than take the bus or subway. Unfortunately many average working class people cannot afford higher cost private transportation and must risk their property and sometimes their lives using public transportation.

The #1 responsibility of government is security. Protecting the citizens from external foreign invasion and crime inside the homeland. The decay of the cities is strong evidence government at all levels — federal, state, and local — is failing in this primary mission. When government allows foreign invaders and domestic criminals to prey without consequence on the citizens, the citizens have no choice but to take action to protect themselves. For the wealthy this means gated communities, armored vehicles with drivers, and private security. For average citizens it means being constantly situationally aware at all times and avoiding places known to have concentrations of criminal activity. In the event the citizen is confronted with a threatening situation, and fears bodily harm, the only choices available are:
1). Flee if possible
2). Take defensive action after being attacked
3). Take proactive action in order to avoid being attacked or to protect another citizen who is being attacked.

Fleeing inside a subway car is not possible. Waiting to be attacked when there is clear danger is foolish. The attack when it comes may incapacitate the citizen so no defense is possible. Taking proactive action to neutralize the threat results in the citizen doing the job the government should be performing. However in our current state of politics, the government takes a dim view of citizens proactively defending themselves. In such cases the government often treats the citizen as the criminal, and metes out harsh punishment.

Voting will not fix the current situation when both political parties are complicit in government abdicating its primary responsibility in order to devote resources to huge social engineering and wealth redistribution projects. The cities are prime examples of the failure of over half a century of social engineering and failure to protect the public.

When governance fails, anarchy results. Even in the heartland we see and experience the fall of civilization. Our political leaders of both parties continue to fiddle while the nation dies.

Daniel Penny is being used as a message to the good people in the population. If you do not toe the line, you are expendable.

Nearly everybody remembers drug-addled George Floyd. Chronic addicts may only require a gentle nudge to enter the hereafter.

Yes, I suppose nearly everyone remembers George Floyd, but to this day Democrats will tell you he was murdered even though the coroner's report says he died of a massive overdose of drugs.

It’s Bonfire of the Vanities on steroids

All our major cities are minority laden and funded by the rich whites who live there

The collusion between white liberals and minorities is tight

The conservative minority of whites who live in cities is at their mercy

And these cities are run by democrats because of these demographic numbers

Nobody conservative or who does something conservative can get a fair trial

Meanwhile blacks attack whites in near genocidal proportional rates daily and nobody cares

Except us

This is only going to get worse

From Bernard Goetz

Sharpton getting away with hoaxes and instigating murders

The Central Park jogger case being overturned mostly

Zimmerman

And so on

Some cities have it less

My hometown Jax Miss uttterly black dominated and deteriorated

Some white boys killed a black older man in a racial incident a few years back and it never got crazy coverage because it was in a suburban white county

But in major cities these collusion of blacks and white libs own

Fuggedaboutit

“This is a battle between human nature versus progressive politics pure, unadulterated evil”

I think this quote says it better.

From all the reports I’ve read, I think there is a legitimate question about whether Penny had any reason to put his hands on the deranged mutant in the first place.

Then you haven’t read enough, watched the video showing the (as you called him) homeless mutant yelling threatening and telling people he was going to hurt someone so he could go back to jail.

And - DA Bragg didn’t prosecute until this started making headlines. NYPD didn’t charge him after talking to him afterward, either.

This is a battle between human nature versus progressive politics.

Congratulations! You're focused like a laser on the real core issue.
