Penny vs False Narrative

Neely was threatening bodily harm to subway passengers.

Penny was restraining Neely, not choking him. (You pass out in seconds in a choke hold and Neely was continuing to resist for 10+ minutes.)

You and bystanders are not safe if you release a restrained subject.

Penny released Neely as soon as Neely passed out.

Neely was alive after Penney released his restraint.

Neely was alive when police arrived.

This prosecutor was lenient with a young criminal that killed an old man.

Alvin Bragg and the prosecutor were politicizing this case as a racial case.

No, Neely's life was not taken because of vigilantism.

What chance did he have when his father abandoned him?

When his mother was murdered by his stepfather, stuffed in a suitcase, and he was forced to testify?

When no one stepped up -- not one blood relative or one clergy -- to stop him from entering of the worst institutions known to innocent children: the foster care system.

When there was no one to receive him after he aged out of the foster care system and provide him a roof over his head or, at the bare minimum, an encouraging word.

Yet the focus is on race, on skin color. What about Neely's humanity? What he needed in life was the human touch, the spiritual touch, not blackness.

It is stop to stop blaming the white man. It is time to put responsibility where it belongs.
