Against the combined forces of a George Soros-funded DA, an anti-white prosecutor, a heavily biased jury, the liberal media, and the far-left Black Lives Matter movement, justice prevailed in Daniel Penny’s New York trial over the death of Jordan Neely.
The case began on May 1st, 2023, when Neely, a homeless black man and career criminal, boarded a Manhattan subway car and displayed violently erratic behavior. His turbulent outburst, a common scene in the New York transit system, included threats of violence and death towards the other passengers, lunges and faint attacks towards others, as well as an acclamation that he did not fear returning to jail nor dying. Among the accompanying passengers were regular New Yorkers, women, children, and a Marine veteran named Daniel Penny.
Fearing for the safety of himself and others, Penny began to restrain Neely by placing him in a rear-naked chokehold, which the felon fought against vigorously. Eventually, Neely was comfortably subdued, and authorities arrived shortly afterwards to render aid. Police officers refused to perform CPR due to fear of contracting HIV-AIDs, so they administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation and transported Neely to the hospital. Unfortunately, Neely died shortly thereafter.
Neely’s death was ruled a homicide by certain medical examiners, although this was later disputed by a Texan forensic pathologist named Satish Chundru, who cited discrepancies from typical chokeholds deaths as well as the presence of synthetic drugs in Neely’s system, which he claimed were enough to “put down an elephant.” Daniel Penny was arrested, charged with second-degree manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide, and released on bond. His trial officially began in October of this year.
The Radical Left and Black Lives Matter movement immediately hailed Neely as an “innocent black man,” who was accusatorily murdered by a racist vigilante, Daniel Penny. High-profile politicians, including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stepped in to frame Neely as a loving, kind, gentle man who only wanted to bring joy to the world by cosplaying as Michael Jackson. This is all, of course, in spite of the fact that Neely boasted 42 prior arrests with multiple assault charges and other transit-related crimes. Naturally, Daniel Penny had the book thrown at him while Neely, a career-criminal, had been freely allowed to roam and terrorize the streets of New York with little more than slaps on the wrist.
New York’s Soros-funded District Attorney, Alvin Bragg, launched an all out assault against Daniel Penny in what should have been a clear-cut case of self-defense. The obvious political motivations behind the case are reminiscent of Bragg’s persecution of President-elect Donald J. Trump, which, similarly to Penny’s case, took precedence over New York’s skyrocketing crime rates and soft-on-crime measures granting undue freedom to violent felons.
One of Bragg’s prosecutors for the Daniel Penny case was Dafna Yoran, an Israeli-born lesbian activist with a history of so-called “equitable prosecution.” One such case involved the murder of an 87-year-old Korean man by a 57-year-old African American. Despite the brutality and intentionality of the murder, Yoran had his charge reduced from homicide to manslaughter, and his subsequent prison sentence reduced from 25 years to 10 years. Yoran is on video explaining her decision, which was based on her sorrow felt for “past trauma,” and a desire for “restorative justice,” which essentially entails going easy on Black criminals due to past injustices like slavery. Additionally, as proven by the Daniel Penny case, it means attempting to use the full force of the law against white defendants, even when they are so obviously innocent.
Thankfully, the jury eventually moved to acquit Penny of all charges. The most likely reason for this, aside from the clear-cut nature of the case, is that many members of the jury had experienced similar subway-related outbursts by violent criminals and homeless people as well. It is an increasingly common occurrence on the New York transit system which their legal system does little to solve.
While this case does not specifically involve gun rights or the 2nd Amendment, it is similarly consequential to the right of Americans to self-defense and preservation. The criminalization of upstanding citizens and Good Samaritans who stand up for the weakest among us by putting a stop to violence and erratic outbursts cannot be allowed to persist.
This is especially pertinent in areas where anarcho-tyranny flourishes. The concept of anarcho-tyranny differs from that of traditional tyranny in that it is achieved by subjecting normal citizens to unmitigated criminality and only enforcing laws when someone tries to put a stop to it. Combined with specified racial malice towards white people, the prominence of this lawfare contributes to major societal destabilization and degradation in some of America’s greatest cities.
Daniel Penny’s case also echoes that of TXGR’s own Kyle Rittenhouse, who was persecuted under similarly racial-pretenses for what was obviously justified and necessary self-defense. Leftists wish to eradicate this principle altogether, allowing criminals to freely terrorize the public with no resistance. This is the central thesis behind their never-ending push to disarm the American population.
While Daniel Penny is a free and innocent man, and justice has continued to prevail in such self-defense cases, the Radical Left will never stop pushing to strip you of your right to defend yourself, your family, and your property. They never tire of implementing new gun control laws and regulations that infringe on the God-given rights of every American. Meanwhile, their richest donors solidify legal systems in every major city to enact their activist prosecutorial measures and try their hardest to prevent justice and accountability.
