A homeless man's death has been ruled a homicide as protesters took to New York City's subway system to demonstrate his death at the hands of Marine veteran.
Jordan Neely, 30, was shouting and pacing aboard an F train in Manhattan on Monday afternoon, witnesses and police said, when he was taken to the floor by a 24-year-old US Marine veteran from Long Island who is between deployments.
His death has now been ruled a homicide caused by compression of the neck. The decision of whether or not to charge the Marine will be made by the district attorney's office.
Video of the altercation posted online showed the man lying beneath Neely, holding him in a headlock position for several minutes as Neely tried and failed to break free.
A second passenger pinned Neely's arms while a third held down his shoulder. It was unclear why the group had moved to restrain him. Neely lost consciousness and was pronounced dead at a Manhattan hospital shortly afterwards.
On Wednesday, protesters began assembling at New York City's Broadway-Lafayette subway station, where Neely was taken to the hospital from, to protest his death. Chants of 'black lives matter,' 'justice for Jordan Neely,' 'F*** Eric Adams' and 'the homeless matter' could be heard, reports Gothamist.

I was born and raised there.....So glad I left.
But he a good boy. He momma lub him.

Mistake #1.
It’s just tribal. Like in the third world.
Saint Neely of Broadway.
“But he had not yet attacked anyone in this instance. This makes it very difficult for any civilian to claim self-defense.”
Baloney. If your 80 year old mom was sitting closest to he lunatic you would be nuts not to see a threat justifying backing him off. And self defense does not require you allow him the first blow. It only requires menacing behavior causing a reasonable person to fear an imminent battery to himself or another. New York has a duty to retreat, but locked into a railcar with the lunatic, you cannot escape.
There’ were two others holding his arms down at the same time so it’s not just this 24 year old who took the guy down. You can see it on the video.
Epic Beard Man would have handled it better.
In some ways analogous to the Boston Massacre.
The British soldiers were surrounded by a mob of people acting as this homeless man was, being goaded with yelling and insults (Fire! Fire!) hit by chunks of ice, guns drawn and demanding order but getting no cooperation or respect. One of their weapons discharged, not pursuant to an officer’s order but instead apparently out of fear.
In this case obviously the mob of Boston was condensed down to one disorderly man.
Meanwhile thousands of Jordan Neeley’s die at the hands of other Jordan Neeley’s in cities across the country and not a peep. But here is their chance to blame something on whitey.
Slight side issue....
Recently they’ve used “houseless” in the woke media but I just now saw “unhoused” in another place.
It was a step up from “derelict” (my usual term) to “homeless” but I cannot keep up.
You’re right his momma will say he was a good boy, though.
Maybe on every tv network news show on the air.
BLM and Antifa are merely the attack dogs of the oligarchs.
Big Media and Big Tech choose which events to focus on, who to amplify, who to censor. They control the spin, and direct the attack.
Academia trains the attack dogs. Media and Tech direct the attack. And government and lawfare punish anyone who dares defend themselves.
The homeless, convicts, druggies are not responsible for destroying society. It's the oligarchs who weaponize them, while remaining safe in their billionaire bunkers and gated communities.
Actually, no. His mother can't defend him.
Plus that blob of fat Bragg has his closeup picture on Fox website and is playing the hero role. Like the two distinguished men of the cloth Rev. Jackson and Rev. Sharpton in the past, he is looking for any news camera with an “on” light. Barf.
Oops. Thanks for the correction info.
Will this same group be protesting with signs if a white person is a victim of a black person?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Or do they only protest based upon ....... skin color?
