A HERO'S TRIALS & TRIBULATIONS
Persecution of a

It was May 1st when, surrounded by other straphangers on
a
Keeping more than 6700 train cars running on over 700 miles of track is bad enough, but keeping the 3.6 million riders safe every day is a horse of a different color. It’s a horse the NYPD seems incapable of riding.
No, the NYPD doesn’t do a very good job at all. As a matter of fact, their performance is miserable. Every day some poor schmuck gets stabbed, beaten, robbed, tossed onto the rails or stabbed to death on the subway platforms and trains.
A fellow subway straphanger, Marine Veteran Daniel Penny watched as a crazed Jordan Neely stomped around the car swinging his fists and feet through the air often barely missing others by mere inches. He screamed karate cries and yelled out threats including, “I’m not afraid to die.” Intimating that he was ready to take life as well as lose it.
A seriously deranged and violent Neely was amping up his temper. Stoked by the fuel of his own insanity, Neely had become a danger to everyone around him. Moment by brief moment he became more and more erratic. If something didn’t happen soon there would more than likely be injured or dead or both on this train. The time had come to act. Everyone there was in imminent danger.
Unfortunately, New Yorkers are not known for their courage under fire or for giving a damn about anybody else but themselves. This being the case, the ball was clearly in Penny’s court.
Mere seconds before, Neely’s latest lunge had come within an inch of an elderly woman’s face causing her to slide out of her seat and onto the train floor. That’s when the Veteran Marine Corps squad leader leapt into action. He was smaller than Neely and Neely possessed the strength of a madman, adrenaline rushing through his veins. Even a Marine counts to 3 before acting.
Daniel quickly subdued Neely in a submission hold. Neely was inescapably locked in the hold, one designed to incapacitate and render an offender unconscious. Penny did what had to be done. As Daniel Penny flexed his muscles constricting Neely’s airway, the madman lapsed into unconsciousness at which time Penny released his grip lowering Neely’s head onto a jacket placed on the floor of the subway car.

This ‘concern amid violence’ is typical of the mercy shown by our service men and women. Penny then stepped back from the now motionless madman, Jordan Neely. The threat had been contained and that’s where this whole comedy of errors should have ended.
Who was this man, Jordan Neely? He was a released mental patient with a history of psychotic breaks, extreme violence and refusal to take his medications. Neely was a force to be dealt with, especially in public. He was a psychotic madman hyped up on other drugs not prescribed by any doctor. His hair trigger made him infinitely dangerous.
His release from
mental care had been based on finances rather than his mental health. The State of New York took this walking time
bomb out of the crazy ward and tossed him
back out onto streets. Pulling the pin
on this human grenade,
Manhattan District Attorney, Alvin Bragg, was quick to make this an issue of race as he so often does. He decried Penny’s actions claiming they were racially motivated. Bragg clung to the race card simply because Neely was black and Penny was white.
Yep, the old race
card is alive and well, especially in Democrat run cities like
It was May 11th, Penny surrendered to the Manhattan
District Attorney’s office. He was
facing charges of murder.
The process of persecution [not prosecution] had begun as the media was already whipping up a frenzy among black racists and wiggers alike. They were out for blood. Virtually every media outlet was making race an issue because that’s what sells papers.
It was June 15th, an almost entirely black grand jury indicted Daniel Penny on charges of 2nd Degree Manslaughter and Criminally Negligent Homicide. Both charges were issued because as Alvin Bragg related to his colleagues, “If we can’t nail him on the 1st count we’ll get him on the 2nd.”
I spoke with a clerk to the office of the District Attorney who wishes to remain anonymous. She said, “Mr. Bragg was really excited to get the Penny case. He was still smarting from his loss to Donald Trump and wanted a showcase for his re-election. He’s always talking about ‘Crackers’ and such. [‘Cracker’ is a racial slur against white people] He’s say, “I got this cracker dead to rights and it’s a f__*king shame there’s no death penalty anymore.” With the race card firmly in play Alvin Bragg’s office declared war on Daniel Penny.

It was June 28th, another fly on the wall said to me,
“When Penny got bail Bragg was pissed! He let loose with a tirade that would cause a
stroke in a lesser person. His temper is
one of legend in these parts and when he’s ‘on one’ the word is ‘stay clear’. He wanted Penny in ‘The Tombs’, the
Penny’s attorneys
worked day and night to have charges dismissed.
The flimsy case Alvin Bragg’s people had built up was unworthy of a
trial. Based on admittedly racist
testimony and circumstantial evidence there was no real proof with which to
prosecute Daniel Penny. This was
persecution, not prosecution. Riding
on the coat tails of Alvin Bragg, a judge declined to dismiss the case.
It was October
21st, a jury
was seated. It had taken weeks to find relatively
neutral jurors. In
Doing the best
they could, defence attorneys rejected the most opinionated and racist of potential
jurors. The jury was finally seated.
It was November 1st through December 6th, The case had seated dedicated jurors who would end up reviewing hours of tape, testimony and evidence. They took their jobs seriously and on numerous occasions demanded evidence for more scrupulous review.
It was December
6th, lacking
sufficient evidence to prosecute further, the judge threw out the charge of 2nd
Degree Manslaughter. The noise from within
and without the courthouse was deafening.
Racist elements of the
It was December 9th, all charges against Daniel Penny were thrown out. The state had failed to make its case and Penny became a free man. Meanwhile, the crowd inside and outside the courtroom had grown increasingly belligerent. Their racist chants and protests once again forced police to restore order. Dedicated camps for Penny and those against him were ready for a fight. Thanks to the NYPD it never advanced beyond a war of words.
In conclusion:
Much as it was with the death of George Floyd in
With clinical levels of different drugs and alcohol in his system and being in an advanced state of excitement, his body succumbed to the poison in his veins and a weak heart. To the uninitiated it seemed clear that Penny had killed Neely with the choke hold. In fact the choke hold, as physicians testified, had not contributed to Neely’s death.
Testimony from a number of straphangers [black and white] favored Penny as they testified he had saved them from harm or even death. Straphangers everywhere praised Penny’s courage and willingness to step forward when nobody else would. This is understandable because Penny is a Marine.
Daniel Penny is a
Marine
“Marine” is a title you earn. It cannot be bought or borrowed, nor can it be removed. There are no “ex-marines” nor are there any “former marines’.
A Marine, unlike
other servicemen and women, is under contract for life. Even after completing his or her initial obligation
of service of 2, 4, or 6 years a marine is placed on “Inactive Reserve” for the rest of his or her
life. I was called up to active duty
twice after having completed my 6-year obligation. It was when, at the age of 52, I was called
up for the 3rd time but was released of my obligation due to medical
disability.
We need to remember that very few people, Marines or not, will stand up and answer the call as did Daniel Penny. I salute him, a fellow Marine, and admonish everyone to take a lesson from his story and emulate the acts of one brave man.
Daniel Penny is one of the few,
the proud, the Marines.
