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.

From the article: “Jordan Neely, 30, was shouting and pacing aboard an F train in Manhattan on Monday afternoon . . .” This tells me that Neely was under the influence of drugs and acting erratically. If it was fentanyl, it would have affected his respiratory system, much as it did George Floyd. Fentanyl makes one very vulnerable to restrictions of the blood flow to the brain. How would the Marine know Neely was extremely vulnerable to his restraining maneuver?
“oligarchs”=typically also white.
“How would the Marine know”
He likely would not have known this specifically.
But most people who learn the chokehold or “sleeper” hold learn at the same time why it’s dangerous and that you’ve got to release it ASAP to avoid this result.
Hopefully the evidence is lacking that the marine did anything to the guy.
Ppl have a right to travel on public transportation without being harassed and threatened. CoVID is also a concern, until May 11th at least, and the dead perp wasn’t obeying the 6 foot rule. He had no concern for the other ppl on the train so nobody should GAF whether he lives or dies. If they’re gonna force us to live among savages, then the Laws of the Jungle should be expected as a result.
Cut it out, please.
Did they exchange words? Was the homeless guy threatening people? Something had to be going on.
I did not ask you a freaking thing easterner.
There's video of him doing the chokehold.
Not that a Manhattan jury needs evidence. Just needs to know the parties' skin colors.
I’ve never seen such a protest. It would be a red-letter day if that happened
What do you expect if you dig into who the martyr really was
Reagan knew
I’ll go with his opinion of Saint Martin
Yes, it would be quite amazing.
I doubt the Reverend Al or the Reverend Jesse could make money showing up for such a thing.
Perhaps they’ll surprise us.
That’s true.
What’s also true is, your comments so far on this thread have been dehumanizing.
These are basic standards. Go find another forum if you are unwilling to meet them.
Yeah, it’s like watching a reality show to the oligarchs.
Just like Clinton and Obama watching in real time the slaughter of the 4 heroes in Benghazi.
It’s like in the days of the Roman Empire.
Just before it’s downfall...
There was no need to have him in a choke hold that long. The black was only running his mouth. He should be charged.
Why I always am.
