New York City Mayor Eric Adams has slammed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as 'irresponsible' for her comments on the death of homeless man Jordan Neely.
Neely, 30, was killed after he was put in a chokehold by a fellow passenger, a former Marine, on board a subway train on Monday night. The deceased man was known to many train riders in the Big Apple for his Michael Jackson impersonation.
On Twitter, as protesters gathered on the Big Apple's subway system, AOC stoked the flames by stating that Neely had been 'murdered.' The medical examiner's office has confirmed that his death has been ruled a homicide. The decision whether or not to press charges will be made by the district attorney's office. ...
Meanwhile, Neely's father told the New York Daily News in an interview that his son became a 'complete mess' after his mother was strangled to death by his stepfather in 2007.
The homeless man's father Andre Zachery' said in a tribute today: 'Jordan was a good man. He was a good person. He grew up good. He always had a (temper), but he never used to hurt anyone ... He wasn’t bad. He was beautiful.'
Zachery said that his son began mimicking Michael Jackson at the age of four or five. 'He looked just like him. He used to perform on the block. One day, people were loving him. Michael!,' the grieving father said.
Zachery went on to say that he had not seen his son for four years, adding that his son was autistic, rarely taking his medication, making it difficult for him to find work and was a high school drop out.

Eric Adams might be redeemable after all.
Ping. IMHO, with the exception of AOC, and other individuals nowhere near the scene, but yet, strangely bent on inflaming this situation, nobody in any way involved in it has earned your contempt. In the future, please consider avoiding loose/premature use of dehumanizing language against people who do not yet appear to deserve it.
You beat me to it.
When the mayor of NYC calls out the dumbest congresswoman on record it is a cause for celebration.
“... calls out the dumbest congresswoman on record ...”
Dumbest? Considering the number of names on that list it would be difficult to assign ‘dumbest’ to any particular name. And that list gets longer should we add the names of female D Senators.
It would be a tuff choice ...
Where is the article that say’s what this guy did to cause the chock hold. I have not seen anything? He had to do something.
Don’t be fooled; Adams only cares about this because he’s desperately trying to get workers back into NYC, and this will set that back A LOT.
People in the surrounding areas are going to extreme lengths to avoid returning to NYC; not only are the lunatics running the asylum, but many of the restaurants are closed, offices are empty, and the “convoy system” that would protect commuters traveling in herds isn’t working so well anymore.
AOC might not be the dumbest, but she had better hope nothing happens to the dumbest.
homeless, autistic, and a dead momma. sure to tug the heartstrings. Summers gonna be so much fun around here.
Happened under biden’s watch blame him. Or wHorchul.
So he was a pedophile as well..glad he’s dead.
Michael Jackson imitator. At least he wasn’t an aspiring rapper.
He should have Beat It.
Bingo! They want you to believe the Marine strangled him for dancing in the subway. Why the media is worthless...
George Floyd, part deux
So let me guess...Alexandria Occasional-Kotex is calling threatening people protected free speech?
The left pulled the same stunt with George Floyd.
