Mother of J train stabber compares son to Daniel Penny, starts legal defense fund
NY Post ^ | June 15, 2023 | Steve Janoski

The mother of the man accused of fatally stabbing an ex-con who attacked his girlfriend on a J Train this week compared the young man to Daniel Penny, as she has started an online fundraiser for his legal defense.

Jordan Williams, 20, was justified when he knifed Devictor Ouedraogo on a Brooklyn subway Tuesday night because he was defending other straphangers from “danger which was already taking place,” his mom, April Williams, wrote on a GiveSendGo fundraiser she created.

Then she invoked Penny, the 24-year-old former Marine who was indicted for killing troubled homeless man Jordan Neely after Neely allegedly threatened other passengers on an F train in Manhattan last month.

“Simply stated, these cases have become all too familiar in NYC, and this situation resembles that of Daniel Penny – who is out on bail and able to defend himself freely,” she wrote. “We just pray for that same opportunity!”

[Note: After this article was published, Mr. Williams was released to fight the charges outside prison. He's facing charges for manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon.]

Williams fatally stabbed Ouedraogo, a 36-year-old man who was hassling other commuters on a northbound J train that was approaching Marcy Avenue in Williamsburg Tuesday evening, police sources told The Post.

Ouedraogo started arguing with Williams, who was onboard with his girlfriend. Then Ouedraogo, of Bedford-Stuyvesant, allegedly socked the woman in the face, the sources said.

The two fought, and had each other in headlocks before the younger man pulled a knife and stabbed Ouedraogo twice, sources said.

The wounded man stumbled off the train and onto the platform. Cops responding to a 911 call found him at about 8 p.m., and EMS rushed him to Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, where he died.

Self defense is not a crime.

Glad to see these fundraisers on GiveSendGo rather than that other woke place.

Best part is the guy who killed the ex-con in self defense is black, though i’m sure he’ll be called a white supremacist. I hope this happens more and more and black people start to open their eyes and understand what’s happening. Doubt it happens but you never know.

Dead guy punched a woman after threatening people. Justified self defense in my opinion but I know little about the story. If NYPD/DA keeps putting self defense people in jail then the subway will become a no defense zone for criminals. I think that’s what DemonCraps want for us all - dead in jail, dead by cop, or dead from DemonCraps voters.

This is the same exact thing. A hero steps in and stops a killer. These two, Denny and Jordan are heros. NYC has out of control crime!!

What ever happened to the Frank James guy? Guess it didn’t fit the narrative so it faded into obscurity.
