Two men acted in self-defense on the NYC subway; only one was indicted

Daniel Penny’s fate is being decided in a New York City courtroom this week. He’s the former Marine who is being charged with murder after he subdued a mentally ill, drugged-up man who was threatening passengers on a subway car.

“Under New York law, a person is justified in using deadly physical force when they reasonably believe it is necessary to use such force to defend themselves or others from imminent use of deadly or unlawful physical force,” the DA statement continued.

From the time of his arrest, Williams said he acted in self-defense; a grand jury believed him and refused to indict.

“I was scared in that situation,” Williams said Wednesday, following the grand jury news. “I’m happy that I can get on with my life the way I’d like to.”

Seems like a reasonable defense. Wonder why it didn’t work for Daniel Penny

In theory the trained person is more dangerous and also more able to exercise restraint.

We’re in the Jim Snow era.

Exactly, Penny applied a non-lethal hold and released it, Williams stabbed with a knife.

Well, that answers that question. The white guy gets blamed for everything.

Penny deserves a key to the city and a ticker tape parade for ending the terror in the subway.

Hahahaha...

Because hes WHITE.. THE OTHER GUY IS BLACK! DISGUSTING

The State of New Yawk is the one who should be on trial here. They shouldn’t allow mentally ill, drugged up maggots ride their subway.

I would thank God for Penny if I was on the train with the mental case

. It looks very much as if New York City has become the ugly mirror image of Mississippi circa 1925

Every city is to some degree a reflection, social and financial, of its political majority. Any majority that would elect the likes of Alvin Bragg is more like an image of Berlin circa 1925.

Lemme guess....was it the white guy?

I've ridden the New York subways more than a few times in recent years. Always in Manhattan...always during daylight hours (I'm there as a tourist). Both at the stations and on the trains themselves I've seen some spooky people and some entertaining people.

One thing I *always* do when in the subway station is to keep as far from the track as possible until the train actually pulls up and stops. That way I reduce the risk of me being pushed onto the tracks by some psychotic meth addict.

Black on Black crime, who cares, it’s too be expected, White on Black Crime, “systemic racism and white supremacy”.

[bobbo666]

Yeah, Penny is white. And, the other guy who helped him is black.

This is gonna go like the GFloyd crappola. The MedExaminer in that trial testified that GF died of overdose and the video showed that the copper did not have his knee on the street trash’s neck.
But, GF was a black thug and the DNC ordered some riots.

[Rich21IE]

Yup, he’s doomed.
