    Daniel Penny's defense fund passes $1M in Jordan Neely charge (nypost.com)
    Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis lauded Daniel Penny as a “Good Samaritan” deserving of America’s support hours after the 24-year-old Marine was arraigned on a second-degree manslaughter charge in the death of Jordan Neely on a New York City subway.

    “We stand with Good Samaritans like Daniel Penny,” he added — linking his message to a crowdfunding effort raising money for Penny’s defense. “Let’s show this Marine … America’s got his back.”

    By Saturday afternoon, the governor’s post had been viewed by more than 5 million Twitter users — and Penny’s GiveSendGo fund had topped $1 million.

    This great seeing fellow Americans helping A good Samaritan.
    Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg is one shitty person, should be ashamed of himself

    I don't think the point of the Good Samaritan story was that you should kill other people.

    Yeah. If there's one thing I've learned since 2016 it's that I should have gotten in the business of bilking right wingers out of dollars.

    Suckers. Between that, and being poorly educated it’s no wonder that the economic conditions of and future outlook for Trumpaloons is so bleak. Have we ever seen a group of people in American so willingly descend in to shithole status? It’s an interesting question!

    Give till it hurts, then give more but no welfare for you!

    It’s not too late. You just have to figure out the next outrage and jump on it early. Or there’s the tried and true Gold and prepper scams.

    One idea I have is a plush Trump doll. Kind of like an orange Fat Albert. Will he a hit for Christmas…

    Sorry, you start threatening passengers on a train or anywhere for that matter you need to be restrained any way possible. If it should unintentionally cost you your life so be it, you earned it.

    Depends, especially when said person stopped someone who was threatening other passengers. He helped save others from harm.

    Did he? Or is that purely speculation on your part? Can you tell me which others, specifically, were saved from actual harm?

    I do have a friend who is a brewer at a local craft brewery. I suggested he brew a lager named "Non-Controversial Domestic Lager."

    Jordan Neely's arrest record----42 arrests on charges including petty larceny, jumping subway turnstiles, theft, and three unprovoked assaults on women in the subway between 2019 and 2021.

    I do hope if your wife or children ever run into a Jordan Neely on a subway somewhere that there is a Daniel Penny nearby should Neely start to act himself.

    The more you post about legal issues, the more I am convinced you have never even driven by a law school.

    If you are going to comment, at least make yourself aware of what actually happened.


    Jordan Neely chokehold death witness 'praying' for Daniel Penny



    “This gentleman, Mr. Penny, did not stand up,” the rider said. “Did not engage with the gentleman. He said not a word. It was all Mr. Neely that was … threatening the passengers. If he did not get what he wants.”

    LOL. And when this person is acquitted you will look foolish as usual. At least have some knowledge of the issue before spouting off like a teenager.
