It's unsurprising that politicians and ideologues have turned Jordan Neely's death to an attack on the "white supremacist" bogeyman by framing his death as a "lynching," which implies that Daniel Penny, the marine, was not only racially motivated to kill him, but that his actions were premeditated. None of this is true. These individuals are using this singular event as a flashpoint to rally more people to their cause. Jordan Neely posed a clear and present danger to other riders on the subway, prompting multiple passengers to call the police to report the threat he posed to the public. Penny, along with two others, took self-defensive action to protect the welfare of other passengers. He should be praised, not vilified. Penny would never have had to take action if the police in New York City were allowed to do their jobs, if prosecutors prosecuted criminals. https://t.me/midwest_intel/29156
