NYC used to see the Kitty Genovese case as an object lesson for why bystanders had an obligation to get involved. Now the government of NY is teaching the lesson: Stay in your seat, and wait for your beatdown.
That’s why no one knows who Eli Dicken is. He didn’t want to become public enemy number one like Kyle Rittenhaus. Heroic behavior is a bane in this sick culture.
RE: That’s why no one knows who Eli Dicken is.
You got me there. I don’t know who he is or what heroic thing he did. Care to share a link on him?
Yes, that’s exactly what they want you to do. You have a much better chance of getting killed that way.
I take what people say seriouly, especially when its about violence.
Maybe they should write an article to people not to threaten violence to others, lest the people decide to neutralize the threatener first.
Maybe write an article about the Golden Rule.
Maybe write an article that if you appear to think you assaulting others is acceptable, that means others are free to do the same back to you, and you have absolutely no grounds to complain when they do.
He stopped a mass shooting in Indiana by shooting a psycho. He then wisely shunned the press and publicity.
If this incident had happened aboard an airliner in mid-flight, and Neely had threatened other passengers, then Penny did the right thing - to the relief of the flight crew and most of the passengers.
In that senario, if Penny were a police officer, air marshal, some kind of federal law enforcement agent, then Penny would not be subjected to arrest.
There is no justice in arresting Penny, the citizen, but not arresting Penny the law enforcement agent.
IMHO
Dispatch the crazy, threatening black man and never surrender to the police. The law is only there to appease the mob, not find justice.
If they cared about the homeless they wouldn’t support or be silent about homeless people sleeping on the street while state and federal government pays for migrants to sleep in hotel rooms.
The issue is never the issue with the left.
If citizens were armed crazies would think twice about assaulting them.
“Stay in your seat, and wait for your beatdown.”
And if you don’t like that, ask yourself why you are in a blue city in a blue state? Learn to love being submissive to the state and their violent minions or move.
Yes, realize that in today's world, blacks are precious, superior, and above the law. The trouble-maker can literally do whatever he wants. But you, whitey, better watch yourself. Don't do anything to him, not even a dirty look. You entire life could be ruined. If the trouble-maker is beating up on some elderly person, do nothing. Just sit there and hope you're not next. Remember, you're nothing but a white. You have no rights.
Let’s cut the crap. Blame the city for not providing the help he needed. Bottom line Jordan Neely was a waste of human skin, just like George Floyd. Donald Trump wants these people on the outskirts of town. Call him a racist but don’t praise him for dealing with the issue? At least the regular people can get on with their lives. The leftists don’t want that. Their problems are more important.
Suicide should be a right.
As one astute person in my professional circles pointed out: "We should stop thinking of the New York City subway as a mass transit system, and start seeing it for what it is: a mobile insane asylum."
“Imagine Neely turning on passengers by pushing, shoving, punching and kicking – as Daniel Penny observed the mayhem from the sidelines.”
Except I have yet to see a single report or video where Neely made physical contact with anyone.
“Getting the help he needed” buys into the modern fantasy that psychiatrists can treat and cure or control mental illness. The “Bedlam” hospital in England did more to protect the mentally ill patient and society than psychiatrists do today.
How did they do it? The criminally insane were chained to a brick or stone wall, but with a chain too short to strangle themselves. Neely’s victims would have been better off with him chained to a wall. Neely would be better off, not to mention still alive, had he been chained to a wall. Is the contrary even arguable?
Yes, that can be improved on today. But not by allowing the criminally insane to roam free. It doesn’t help the insane person and it’s a menace to society.
OTOH, this could be a turning point!
By that I mean crazy people with multiple arrest records and outstanding felony warrants could be institutionalized.
What we have here is a perfect example of Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders “Normal vs crazy.”
A “normal” takes down a “crazy,” and is arrested.
Do we see the light, yet?
The “optics” of this DEMOCRAT MADE homeless crisis are not good for the Democrats!
