Whoopi Goldberg scolds Daniel Penny for celebrating Jordan Neely manslaughter acquittal at a bar
Daily Mail UK ^ | December 10, 2024 | Stephen M. Lepore

Whoopi Goldberg led the liberal jeers for the acquittal verdict of Daniel Penny on Monday's episode of The View, showing special contempt for the veteran's choice to celebrate at a nearby bar.

The 26-year-old Marine veteran was facing charges of second degree manslaughter and negligent homicide following the subway death of mentally ill homeless street performer Jordan Neely.

Penny's acquittal enraged BLM activists, who instantly called for revenge in the form of black vigilantes.

The 26-year-old quickly dashed to a downtown bar to celebrate his win with his lawyers and ponder his next move.

Goldberg took exception to this choice on Monday's episode of the long-running ABC gabfest.

'I don't know that seeing them celebrating in a bar made me comfortable, you know,' she began, adding, 'I mean, you killed a guy. The man is dead and maybe just – you take the celebration home, you don't do it outside. But that's just me,' the Oscar-winner said.

She, like many on the left, expressed empathy for Neely and the circumstances that led him to being on the subway that night.

'And people are conflicted because he was an ill man and the more information we're learning about him now – turns out his mom had been murdered and that may have been what set him off on his mental path.'

The lawyers deserved a celebration. They had to do a job that they should never have had to do. When you prevail against prosecutors engaged in improper behavior, celebration is totally acceptable.

Let’s see. Make Penny, George Zimmerman, Luke Rittenhouse and Bernie Goetz all SCOTUS for a day. Better yet put them in the new FBI after the others get fired.

Goldberg and her buddies should be asking themselves, and the cabal of leftists and bureaucrats they support, why Neely was living homeless on the streets of that liberal Mecca NYC. He had tons of mental health issues, and lost his mother when his father murdered her in 2007. He apparently started having issues with the police six years later - but he never got the mental healthcare and help he needed.

That's failure of the system in another liberal city, and it put citizens and Neely at risk, and resulted in a US marine who tried to do the right thing almost going to prison. This, in a city that found the financial resources to put up illegal immigrants in famous luxury hotels.

And that idiot Whoopi? She would side with the devil if she thought the devil was black... she is so yesterday’s hysteria... and so predictable. It’s NOT race Whoopi it’s good vs evil. Celebrate good winning - have a drink and a few laughs. It was a great day for America.

(And yeah we’re sorry about the death of the criminal, but crime’s a risky occupation...maybe his family should have helped him become a better person)

Yes. “But that’s just me” is a telling comment. Whoopie has a warped perception of reality. What she really is saying is the white man got away with killing a black. Some call it tribal loyalty but I call it the OJ Syndrome.

Nicely put. I agree.

whoopie and the rest of the liberal media better watch what they say. I’d bet there are folks with lawyers listening for the wrong statement.

Penney needs to sue Goldberg for saying that he killed the guy. He did not and was legally exonerated.

Dr Phil could make a life long career just by being on the The View program.

Those people are detached from reality to a point they can never return.

The show needs to be called pimping the stupid.

Yes.

That and the fact that a juror failed to convict hi, on either
charge of manslaughter or wrongful death, so Whoopi is wrong. maybe Penny should sue the Whoopster for defamation?
