Wanna Be a Good Samaritan? Fuhgeddaboudit…

This past May 1 was a typical day on the New York City subways. Commuters and tourists were transiting beneath the chaos of overhead Manhattan, only to witness New York’s subterranean version of Dante’s Inferno.

Specifically, a homeless man, now euphemistically called an “urban camper” or “displaced person,” was harassing fellow subway passengers. The Guardian went further in their descriptors, calling Neely “a talented dancer” who was “remembered as kind and loving” and even “had a fan club.”

Neely also had a long rap sheet, a fact conveniently overlooked by most media sympathizers. According to the Daily News, Neelly has been arrested 42 times in the last 10 years, most recently in November 2021 for slugging a 67-year-old female stranger in the face as she exited a subway station. He had a history of mental illness.”

Enter ex-Marine Daniel Penny, a fellow traveler on one of New York’s subterranean mental institutions on wheels, noting how Neely was harassing and threatening other passengers. With the assistance of several other like-minded passengers, Penny restrained Neely until he stopped resisting.

Penny then put Neely into a recovery position (with passengers complimenting his actions), hardly the moves of someone intent on killing Neely. "He’s a hero," said another passenger, who has lived in New York City more than 50 years.

One man’s hero is another man’s criminal, specifically to a left-wing Manhattan District Attorney. Soros-funded DA Alvin Bragg, taking a break from chasing Donald Trump over supposed dressing room hanky-panky at Bergdorf Goodman, convinced a grand jury to indict the 24-year-old White Marine veteran for second-degree manslaughter.

Penny’s real crime was that he was acting as a Good Samaritan, trying to do the right thing, protecting his fellow subway riders from harassment and potential injury. His other crime was his skin color.

Noted in an NBC News article on the indictment was this paragraph, “Penny, who is white, said he acted to protect himself and other passengers when he confronted Neely, who was Black.”

If skin color wasn’t relevant, why did NBC mention it? It wasn’t an issue for Penny. “I didn’t see a Black man threatening passengers. I saw a man threatening passengers,” Penny said.

The current thing says, according to CRT, is to end racism, you must be openly and violently racist against white people. The government supports it, the education system supports it, pop culture supports it, and the democrats party worship it.

Women using mass transit like the New York City subway system are going to take the brunt of the violence, due to the Left's determination to unleash the mentally ill on the public.

If these women don't like it, they can change their voting habits while arming up like Bernie Goetz did.

Lawyer for Penny: in my closing remarks, i would just like to ask the ladies and gentlemen of the jury, on that lonesome subway ride home, late at night, who would you rather have in your car, mr. penny? or mr. neely?

[“Penny, who is white,]

Apparently “White” can’t be capitalized? The shift key must have failed at NBC just for a second.

That’s probably what happened. Never mind.

When I was a child, the perpetual theme of NYC living was that no one cared when someone was being murdered. Now that I am old, the perpetual theme of NYC living is that you better not care when someone is being murdered, especially if the murderer is unwhite.

The answer to the Universe: 42.

Bottom line: You stop a POC from committing a crime and you will be punished to the full extent of the law.

The Democrats want to make it a crime to interfere with criminals just plying their trades. Especially if deadly force is used to protect yourself or someone else.

reminds me of living in communist countries

the marxist politicization of everything absolutely polarized people and atomized society. Natural human urges towards community and charity were suppressed. There was only downside and personal risk in being a “Good Samaritan”

I’ve seen people in East Berlin and Beijing simply step over the bodies of people lying on the ground who had been in accidents

its where we are heading
