Cops believe they have ID of man seen helping to restrain Jordan Neely on NYC subway
NY Post ^ | 05/18/2023 | Joe Marino, Larry Celona and Steve Janoski

Investigators appear to have identified one of the two men seen on video helping ex-Marine Daniel Penny restrain Jordan Neely during the subway confrontation earlier this month that left the homeless man dead, law enforcement sources told The Post Thursday.

The sources said authorities have been scouring surveillance footage as part of their efforts to track down the men: One who was recorded trying to tie up Neely’s flailing arms, and the other who stood to the side and put pressure on Neely’s shoulder.

It was not known which of the two investigators believed they had picked out. Sources cautioned cops had yet to speak to the person they identified.

The identity of the two men has remained a mystery since they were captured on the shocking video a bystander shot of the May 1 confrontation, which began after Neely, 30, allegedly began yelling at other straphangers and throwing trash.

I wasn’t aware they had not been identified. They just left when the cops came?

That gives me an idea, why not release the J6 footage so we can identify the FBI instigators?

And the police never put out a request for interviews?

he’s white or at least one of those white Hispanics, so yep he needs to sacrificed too.

This is the very reason people don’t get involved and some segments of the population know this.

Well, it took one person for the vowels, one person for the consonants, and one person for the spaces and punctuation (double-duty).

You know all those stories about women being raped in public and other crimes where the public does nothing when they see someone under assault. Well now we know why. Progressives have destroyed everything.

Footnotes from “The Gulag Archipelligo,” by Solzhenitsyn, Volume 2:

1. “The Voroshilov Amnesty” of March 27, 1953, seeking to win popularity with the people, flooded the whole country with a wave of murderers, bandits, and thieves, who had with great difficulty been rounded up after the war. (To pardon a thief is to kill a good man.)

2. In the Criminal Code of 1926 there was a most stupid Article 139 — “on the limits of necessary self-defense” — according to which you had the right to unsheath your knife only after the criminal’s knife was hovering over you. And you could stab him only after he had stabbed you. And otherwise you would be the one put on trial. (And there was no article in our legislation saying that the greater criminal was the one who attacked someone weaker than himself.) This fear of exceeding the measure of necessary self-defense led to total spinelessness as a national characteristic. A hoodlum once began to beat up the Red Army man Aleksandr Zakharov outside a club. Zakharov took out a folding penknife and killed the hoodlum. And for this he got . . . ten years for plain murder! “And what was I supposed to do?” he asked, astonished. Prosecutor Artsishevsky replied: “You should have fled!”

3. The state, in its Criminal Code, forbids citizens to have firearms or other weapons, but does not itself undertake to defend them! The state turns its citizens over to the power of the bandits — and then through the press dares to summon them to “social resistance” against these bandits. Resistance with what? With umbrellas? With rolling pins?

Didn't the characters of Seinfeld get arrested for doing nothing?

Isn’t it amazing how they can find their man if they really
want to.

Look at the 01/06 capital fiasco, and the rioting on the
streets of our nation.

They can find every person who traveled to Washington, D. C.,
but can’t arrest even one rioter, looter, or arsonist.

People stealing from businesses across the nation?

Nope, can’t find then.

The cops near George Floyd were put on trial for being near him when his pre-existing breathing trouble and narcotics ended his life.

Not just the knee on neck hold Officer Chauvin. “Alexander Kueng, Thomas Lane and Tou Thao, all were convicted of depriving Floyd of his civil rights while acting under government authority when they failed to give him medical aid.” Feb 25, 2022

If you’re not Forrest Gump it’s not good to be near anything that will become famous later.

Pretty standard in today's press, it takes one to look up the word in the dictionary for the correct spelling, one to put it into Hooked on Phonics, then one to write it down. And they have to do this for every word with more than 6 letters or two syllables.

They spend a lot of resources tracking down defenders.
How many assaults have happened in the subway that no one bothered to investigate at all.

I’ve lived in an travelled to communist countries.

while there, I was always shocked by the lack of civil society, lack of respect for community, and lack of willingness of people to “get involved” with their “fellow man.” I’ve seen many people on a busy street simply step over the bodies of people lying in the street who were injured in car/motorcycle accidents, like they were a puddle of water.

We are now witnessing this here. One’s own individual sense of justice, humanity, willingness to protect others - is completely suppressed, because that’s exactly what the marxists in control want.

Re: "Neely's flailing arms"

Is that how a politically corrupt prosecutor describes a violent mentally ill criminal who is trying to harm the innocent people who have subdued him?
