AOC now brands Jordan Neely's NYC subway chokehold death a 'public execution' and hits back at NYC Mayor Eric Adams for saying it was 'irresponsible' of her to call it 'murder'

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has described the killing of a man suffering a mental breakdown on the New York City subway as 'a public execution', as calls mount for those responsible to be criminally charged.

Jordan Neely, 30, died on Monday on the subway after being put in a chokehold by a U.S. Marine veteran.

Neely, who was well known as a Michael Jackson impersonator entertaining passengers on the train, was in the midst of a mental health episode, and was reportedly marching up and down the train carriage ranting.

Neely had autism and schizophrenia and had been arrested 42 times in the past, including for punching a 67-year-old woman in the face.

On Wednesday, Neely's death was ruled a homicide, and the Manhattan district attorney is now weighing up whether to bring charges.

Ocasio-Cortez has led the outrage over Neely's killing, and tweeted on Thursday: 'Leaders want to raise his record as if that warrants a public execution on the subway? What have we come to?'

The New York congresswoman was criticized by New York City's mayor, Eric Adams, who said it was 'irresponsible' of her to describe Neely's killing as murder, before an official inquiry was completed.

Yet Ocasio-Cortez on Thursday continued to demand justice for Neely.

'I have yet to hear a real explanation from any official hesitating to condemn the killing of Jordan Neely about what makes condemning this violence so 'complicated',' she tweeted.

'Killing is wrong. Killing the poor is wrong. Killing the mentally ill is wrong. Why is that so hard to say?'

AOC thinks Neely couldn’t access social services. She doesn’t get it. What he needed was a state (psychiatric) hospital. He needed to be committed, for both his own protection and for the safety of others, but state hospitals fell out of favor after “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.”

Never known a person having such a level of expertise on so many subjects they know nothing about . . .

The left would really love another summer of democrat-sponsored looting, arson, destruction, assault and anarchy. Will this incident be the excuse?

Or will they wait for an election year?

AOC needs to spend more time underground with “her” people.

Jordan Neely should have been a Member of Congress.

AOC is just as mentally deranged-—her symptoms are just harder to see.

All communists are mentally deranged.

All AOC does is run her mouth. She’s unaccomplished, foolish and incompetent.

“Killing is wrong. Killing the poor is wrong. Killing the mentally ill is wrong. Why is that so hard to say?”

Killing babies is wrong.

Harvesting baby body parts is wrong.

The forced exposure of the elderly to a deadly disease is wrong.

Letting violent criminals out on the streets with no consequence for their crimes is wrong.

Refusing to enforce existing border laws to carry out the main duty of the federal government and, instead, importing hundreds of thousands of violent, murdering, stealing, and raping, illegal immigrants is wrong.

Establishing LGBT perversion as the state religion to indoctrinate, mutilate, and sexually violate children is wrong.

The weaponization of law enforcement against political opponents is wrong.

The bold, proud, loud-mouthed, criminally ignorant destruction of the free world is wrong.

The Marine did what needed to be done (eliminating a threat), and erred on the side of control (which seems reasonable given the setting). Awful and tragic for everyone, but the man is not guilty of a crime.

“On Wednesday, Neely’s death was ruled a homicide”

Probably by the same ones that ruled Epstein’s death a suicide.

There’s no way we can live side by side with these people.


Unfortunately you are right. There is no cure for what they have.
They will eventually start a civil war. That is likely the only way to rid ourselves of them.

I was thinking about the NYC subway riders, but your take is on point.
