I’m stunned.
Daniel Penny acquitted in subway chokehold death of Jordan Neely, sparking applause, uproar in NYC courtroom
A Manhattan jury has cleared Daniel Penny of criminal wrongdoing in the chokehold death of Jordan Neely on a crowded subway — a caught-on-video killing that sparked fierce debate over the city’s mental health system and crime underground.The courtroom erupted in applause as the panelists acquitted Penny of criminally negligent homicide — which could have put him behind bars for up to four years — in Neely’s chokehold death aboard a crowded uptown F train in May 2023.
The part I bolded is probably the most stunning of all. Oh, and by the way, NYP: it was NOT a “chokehold death” as you so manipulatively claim. More on that later.
Penny immediately broke out a huge smile and turned to hug defense attorney Thomas Kenniff — even as Neely’s father, Andre Zachary, was escorted from the courtroom.
“Racist f—ing country,” one Black Lives Matter supporter yelled as she left the room. Another Neely supporter, turning to Penney, screamed, “It’s a small world, buddy,” before leaving the room.
If Penny and his family aren’t already halfway to their new FLA home by now, they’re nuts. One of Penny’s lawyers asks the most pertinent question of them all.
Jurors sided with Penny’s defense attorneys, who had argued that the Marine veteran was justified in rushing to protect his fellow subway straphangers when he subdued the erratic homeless man. The lawyers had also questioned whether there was sufficient evidence that the chokehold caused Neely’s death.
“Who do you want on the next train ride with you?” one of his lawyers, Steven Raiser, in his closing statement in Manhattan Supreme Court.
“The guy with the earbuds minding his own business who you know would be there for you if something happened? Or perhaps you just hope that someone like Jordan Neely does not enter that train when you are all alone, all alone in a crowd of others frozen with fear?”
Or, perhaps, this fine, upstanding New Yorker:
This is what Democrats have let New York City become. Absolutely revolting. I hope Daniel Penny is found innocent and gets the hell out of that shithole. pic.twitter.com/jhHfifwHKw

Now for that “chokehold death” horseshit.
Twilight of the Race Hustle
“There is nothing more fake than when the libs pretend to have an emotional outpouring over some dead loser they didn’t give a f**k about while they were living.” — Aimee TereseWere you thinking of Daniel Penny this weekend? A year and a half ago, the US marine veteran, age 26, subdued one Jordan Neely, 30, a homeless schizophrenic with a record of 42 arrests who was menacing riders on a New York City subway car. Neely was, at the time, a fugitive on an arrest warrant for felony assault on a sixty-seven-year-old woman. Penny applied a choke hold after Neely declared he was of a mind to kill somebody on the train. Neely was still alive when the cops came, but they declined to give him CPR because he was filthy and an apparent drug-user, and they feared getting AIDS or hepatitis from giving him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. . . so Neely died there in the subway.
Again: bold mine, and entirely dispositive. Meanwhile, via Ace, NYC’s rational, eminently fair minded Nee-grow community is reacting to the verdict with all the sober, judicious moderation we’ve come to expect from them—ie, by declaring a total chimp-out.

I’m stunned. In the end, Justice prevailed.
He shouldn’t have had to go through this at all, and yes, I hope he has plans to GTFO of there.
Yea, he has no future in that place. They will be out to get him.
I predicted Penny would be acquitted, like, two years ago. I also knew that Penny choked Neely to death, and so does the jury. They voted to acquit because that’s their inalienable right as a jury, and it was the right thing to do in this case. Doubly so, because not only did Penny deserve to go free, the prosecution really, really deserved to lose. Triply so, because nobody cares what happens to a troublemaker like Jordan Neely. Quadruply so, because public disorder is a greater scourge than the occasional reactionary killing, and if the PTB don’t like it they can clean up the damn streets.
But don’t tell yourself Penny didn’t kill Neely. That chokehold put Neely into respiratory arrest, which is to say it killed him. You can see it happen in the video, and even if you couldn’t, there’s no other explanation for Neely’s death. Sure, Neely’s heart was still beating; so was Marie Antoinette’s.
And in dying, Neely did something he had never done before. He made the world a better place. I can’t say that “justice was served,” because true justice would have meant that Penny got a quick handshake and pat on the back from the cops and never had to go through this prosecution from a worthless negro prosecutor. But I’ll guess we will take what we can get. The saying holds:
Know blacks, no peace.
No blacks, know peace.
“I also knew that Penny choked Neely to death, and so does the jury.”
Mindreader
“reactionary killing”
No evidence of such
“But don’t tell yourself Penny didn’t kill Neely.”
Neely killed Neely. Neely made the decision to threaten others.
“Reactionary” might not be the best choice of words on my part. I don’t mean Penny was politically motivated. What he did was a reaction, in the sense that he reacted to the circumstances.
For the rest, have it your way. I won’t go to bat for Jordan Neely.
“occasional reactionary killing”
Well, admittedly I have no idea what that means, but it doesn’t imply a local reaction to current circumstance to my reading. But I’ll take it as you explain it.
You made it clear you were not “going to bat” for Neely.
I just prefer a bit more precision when we are discussing the death of a threat, particularly when the threatened defend their selves from maniacs, maniacs that they have no clue about. I’d be just as fine if Penny pulled a weapon out and shot the bastard 10-12 times. In that case the fault lies with the perpetrator, not the defender.
This country has made being a pussy a full time objective. Thank god for the Daniel Penny’s that don’t buy in.
Five years. For five years I’ve been saying, “Get out of the cities.”
Good advice, and for some cities it’s real good advice. NYC has a population that is non hispanic white of only about 30%. With the atmosphere poisoned against white folks by the marxist left, the courts have an easy time picking juries to get the conviction they want. Thankfully it didn’t work this time.
