You obviously have never had a Marine in your family or close friends circle. They are hammered into following a behavior to stop the bad guys and protect the good. That hammering is equivalent to the crack in the Liberty Bell. It's just there. I pray for the freedom and honor of Daniel Penny.
Witnesses and then lawyers said the guy name of Jordan Neely was threatening people on that subway and had been arrested numerous times with "42 arrests on charges including petty larceny, jumping subway turnstiles, theft, and three unprovoked assaults on women in the subway between 2019 and 2021."
Free Daniel Penny! He protected people, and he stopped a serial molester from hurting those he threatened to kill. Daniel Penny deserves a medal, not a jail sentence. He did not mean to kill, only to stop the life-and-safety threatener of multiple people in the same compartment. His family, seeing a quick way to make a buck, jumped into the fray, considering how their unthinkable treatment of Mr. Neely for years led to his need to threaten people constantly wherever he went. 42 arrests. 42 arrests! 42 arrests!
I just read another couple of versions of this story. Apparently, Neely threatened harm to the Marine. That would make the incident self-protection, which would not be a crime since he was threatened verbally and watched the perpetrator of threats and physical violence. Daniel Penny had the right to use self defense, even if his Marine training taught him to help both himself and others under threats of bullies.
