National News See other National News Articles Title: The White Man’s OJ Simpson (Daniel Penny) Daniel Penny is free. He was on trial for restraining Jordan Neely, a black man who was threatening people on the subway. Several people helped Mr. Penny, but Neely died soon after. It may not be accurate to say even that he accidentally killed him, because Mr. Neely was evidently alive when police arrived. Events late last week did not look good. A hung jury typically results in a mistrial, but when the jury could not come to a verdict on a count of manslaughter, the judge agreed to the prosecution’s request to allow it to consider criminally negligent homicide. It looked like a blatant attempt by a blue-state judge to work with a blue-state district attorney to convict Mr. Penny of something, no matter what. This was the prosecutor. captive dreamer @captivedreamer7 Absolutely insane, must-watch clip of Daniel Penny's prosecutor Dafna Yoran. She talks about how she reduced a clear cut felony murder charge to (manslaughter?) because she "felt sorry for the past trauma" that the armed robber had endured. "Restorative justice" insanity. The tactic failed. The jury acquitted him on the lesser charge, which means he is free. New York Post @nypost Daniel Penny speaks to The Post following his not-guilty verdict https://trib.al/mgXH3Sa https://twitter.com/i/status/1866230368258392382 The late Mr. Neely had a long criminal record, was homeless, and was yelling at people on the subway. ABC News reported he was simply suffering a “mental health crisis.” If so, it had been going on for a very long time. He had 42 prior arrests, an active warrant out for a 2021 incident, and a long history of attacks on subway riders. This included punching a woman in the face and exposing his privates to riders. He failed to complete an alternative-to-prison program designed to allow more leniency, but he was left free to roam. Neely explicitly stated “I will kill” during the fatal incident. Of course, all this does not disqualify Neely from being another civil rights hero. Such depravity did not disqualify Michael Brown, George Floyd, or others. However, the verdict shows people may be tired of such antics. It was not only Mr. Penny who was helping to restrain Neely, nor was he without defenders. Other passengers said that they were afraid of Neely, and these included other non-whites. Still, there was an undeniable racial angle in this case, with a law-abiding former Marine who looks like the sculpture of The Dying Gaul putting down a criminal who should not have been free. It was a classic case of what our society’s values should be, compared to what they are. Naturally, after Mr. Penny was set free, Black Lives Matter mysteriously became active again. This could be a harbinger for the second Trump Administration. Separation is the solution, and it is what they say they want. BLM says the departed criminal had “infinite worth,” like all blacks. Readers added context Daniel Penny was not "rewarded." He protected people on a subway train from a violent man, and was prosecuted for it. A jury agreed that he was acting in self-defense, and found him not guilty. There is no evidence that race had anything to do with Penny's actions. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
