He Served In The Military, Potentially Saved Lives From A Violent Psychotic And Is Now Facing Prison
As if the attacks against common American life are not enough for poor Americans to deal with, it just keeps getting worse in the collapsing cities of the USSA.
A 24-year-old Marine seen on video putting Jordan Neely in a chokehold on the floor of an F train in Manhattan 10 days ago, resulting in his death, is expected to be charged and surrender Friday, sources familiar with the matter tell News 4 New York.
The Manhattan district attorney's office told NBC New York that Daniel Penny will be arraigned on a charge of second-degree manslaughter. Penny is expected to turn himself in as early as Friday morning at a lower Manhattan precinct.
"We cannot provide any additional information until he has been arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court, which we expect to take place tomorrow," a spokesperson for DA's office said.
Penny’s attorneys also have not commented on the imminent charges. They have previously said their client was protecting himself and others, and there was no way Penny "could have foreseen" his bid to subdue the supposed perceived threat would turn deadly. His attorneys said he never intended to harm Neely.
Neely's family has said that statement amounts to a confession and have been calling for criminal charges.
Witnesses had reported Neely, a homeless man with a lengthy criminal record and a history of mental illness, was aggressive toward other riders on a train at the Broadway-Lafayette station in SoHo. They also reported Neely hadn't physically attacked anyone before Penny moved to subdue him. Penny was questioned by the NYPD that day and released. Then came the autopsy findings.
Earlier this week, Mayor Eric Adams, who had been accused by some of not weighing in substantially enough, formally addressed Neely's death in a public address on Wednesday.
The Democrat forcefully declared Neely "shouldn't have died" – while carefully towing a line between acknowledging the loss, and the ensuing tensions, and appearing to ascribe any sort of responsibility.
"One of our own is dead," Adams said, empathizing with the emotional intensity coursing through the city over the case.
Neely had multiple arrests for offenses including assault and disorderly conduct, among others. Adams said his death is yet another indication the mental health system needs an overhaul to better protect those who, like Neely, he says fall through the cracks and "disappear into the shadows."
While addressing Neely's death, the mayor said that "we need to make sure we prevent these things from happening. That is within my span of control."
One must wonder if the Democrats are in such control over their cities today, why their cities are filled with poverty, homelessness, drug abuse and violence!?
In more conservative areas we have the right to bear arms for self-defense, so people tend to be a lot more careful what they do around other people.
