Sorry, but your comment about him going too far is literally too ignorant.

You likely never had to defend yourself or others from a stranger’s violence. How exactly was neely supposed to gauge the intent and effort to safely subdue a crazy, deranged 44-count convicted criminal?

Stop placing undue burdens on victims and start placing all the responsibility for a criminal’s consequences on the criminal. Neely would never have had to take extreme defensive actions if the violent, convicted criminal, had never started an assault to begin with!

Brilliant campaign move.

I bet Trump wishes he had thought of that.

The man had no weapon?

Are you for real? Michael Brown (Ferguson MO) had no weapon either. But he also deserved to die.

Desantis goes with the wind of public opinion.

And that is a bad thing how?

I think the guy went too far.

You are a spineless gelding. Real men protect the innocent, even if it results in the death of a scumbag.

Spoken by someone who has never had to struggle for their life against a violent aggressor.

You have no idea what fear, adrenaline and the fight response does to a person’s state of mind when they are struggling for their life.

But feel free to speculate in the cozy safety of your moral high ground lounge chair, free from consequences, as you condemn a man who was literally trying to defend others from a deranged, violent criminal.

this thread sure is displaying a lot of moral turpitude. An abundance of desire to come to the defense of the criminal and condemn a man trying to help innocents, disgusting!

Get lost.

Dittoes.

Did you see his tagline? Trump or bust?

He’d rather have Biden or Kamala than a conservative!

There is nothing stopping you from being a eGOP shill on the internet. Shill away.

Weapon or no weapon … the bigger problem for Penny is that all accounts seem to indicate that the mutant never actually attacked anyone.

You can argue self defense if the guy attacks someone. You could argue self defense if the guy brandishes a weapon and threatens someone. But if the loser doesn’t do either of these things, you take a big risk if you put your hands on him and he dies in the process.

Stupid politically…why take this position? Especially before we know the facts.

I think the guy went too far.

Apparently you never rode a subway in NYC. The nut was threatening other passengers and the Marine stepped in to stem the threat. What’s he to do wait until the bum draws a knife. All one has to do is look at the dead guy’s rap sheet.

"You are wrong, Camel-breath!"

Jordan Neely had history of attacks on subway riders before NYC chokehold death

Show me ONE NEWS CLIP where DeSantis said anything about imposing tariffs on China, who has stolen American wealth and middle class manufacturing jobs by the millions.

I don’t care how conservative meatball is on social issues. United States of America is facing dire economic turmoil straight ahead. The national debt is a fiasco, countries all over the world want to join the BRICS group, China is buying up not only American companies, but American farm land all over Unites States, inflation is giving a gut punch to lower 90%, and migrants are flooding in by the millions. And we are borrowing money to fund another unnecessary foreign war. I guess Americans learned nothing from Vietnam mfiasco, followed by Iraq fiasco, followed by Afghan fiasco, and will learn nothing from Ukraine fiasco which has brought China and Russia closer than ever.

Every one of those things flows out of the marxism infesting America. A President must understand it, and call it out.

So why are there so many Trump-hate posts all over this thread? 🤔


Actually I see the opposite. Maybe what you’re reading are DeSantis supporters responding to all the anti-DeSantis comments.

And where is desanctimonious on the 100 J6 political prisoners? Just as I thought, he agrees with the persecution. Deep state hack, that’s what he is.
