Marine Corps veteran, Daniel Penny, found not guilty after choking a homeless man on a subway, a case from all the way back from May 2023
The case all began when Jordan Neely, who had an active warrant and 42 prior arrests, boarded the subway and said, “Someone’s going to die today” according to the train passengers. Neely was currently on the lab made drug K2.
Because to the synthetic Marijuana in Neely’s system, Penny’s defense case of not guilty was strengthened to his win despite continuing his 6-minute chokehold 51 seconds after Neely had stopped moving. The continued chokehold and illegal drugs both contributed to Neely’s death.
Penny’s case was so good, as he stood up against the injustices he saw in the American legal system, that he earned a Congressional Gold Medal.
Among the many failed protections from violent or imminently violent criminals, he took a stand and held tight with both hands to protect the passengers on the train until police arrived.
The negligent homicide and second-degree murder he was charged with were put down as heroic acts by the courts. However, despite all this, protests against the decision were held featuring a photo of Neely from 2009. Liberals argue, “Being poor is not a crime.”
When it comes to public safety in places such as subways, people such as Penny are seen as the heroes who will end murders of pushing people into the subway tracks or villains who murder poor people.
