Prosecuting Daniel Penny Was An Irreparable Miscarriage Of Justice. New York Owes Him A Massive Payout.

Virtually every single black family that loses an adult child due to some unfortunate altercation with police — even a child they haven’t seen in years — gets a multi-million-dollar payout courtesy of local taxpayers. It’s time for Daniel Penny to get that same deal.

A New York City jury on Monday rendered an acquittal in the homicide trial of Penny, a 26-year-old and very handsome Marine who deserves to be carved into Mount Rushmore after he selflessly, heroically saved subway commuters from a raving lunatic declaring himself ready to go to prison or even die.

Jordan Neely, 30, belligerently boarded a subway car in early May last year where “frightened women and children” found themselves trapped with the threatening vagrant. Witnesses said he was screaming threats at passengers. Neely, who was previously charged multiple times with assaulting subway riders, eventually found himself face-to-face with Penny who pulled Neely into a headlock. Video footage also shows two other passengers attempting to hold down his limbs. Neely continued to struggle, which a witness said indicated he wasn’t in “a risky situation,” as far as his health was concerned. The police arrived at a subsequent subway station, but Neely, who was reportedly homeless and had an extensive rap sheet, stopped breathing. He died.

Police body camera footage shows witnesses explaining to authorities what happened and they never indicate Penny was out of line or excessive in his use of force. In fact, they claimed the opposite. Penny would tell police in an interview thereafter that he doesn’t consider himself “confrontational” and his intent wasn’t to harm anyone, but that he was only en route to the gym — where he would presumably work on what I assume is a very fine physique.

In a sane world, we would show immense gratitude to Penny and the other passengers who helped subdue Neely. There would be morning network TV segments heralding their quick action in a moment of certain danger. Instead, NBC’s “Today” paid tribute to Neely with a montage of his Michael Jackson impersonations and New York Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez called Penny a “murderer.”

And then the manslaughter charge was filed by a Democrat district attorney, accompanied by a lesser homicide charge. That’s how America treats its heroes in certain parts of this infected country.

The jury in Penny’s trial couldn’t reach a unanimous verdict on the manslaughter charge — an appalling indictment of our fellow citizens — and ultimately cleared Penny of the count of homicide. Thank God for Daniel “So Hot” Penny’s freedom but this isn’t justice. For more than a year, tax-payer dollars were devoted to putting that innocent man in prison. He can never get that time back. He will never forget the distress, the trauma, the panic. This was a tragedy and an epic miscarriage of justice. It’s irreparable.

New York owes Penny big time. A lawyer needs to sue the city on his behalf pro bono. And if there is justice left in America, the incoming Trump Administration will immediately investigate and ideally bring charges against the prosecutors who did this to the white knight Daniel Penny.
