Why defend a 40 times arrested criminal but then go after a patriot who served his country and acted to protect others around him? This country is going down the gutter.
As a woman who spent years riding the NYC subway, having been assaulted and molested frequent times, I'm grateful there's still men like Daniel Penny who'll stand up and neutralize the threat! Should he have waited until this man actually physically carried out his threats? What if your mother was sitting n that car, terrified? Or your child? Clearly they need security guards in subway cars so people like Mr. Penny aren't called upon to protect riders at his own cost.
@@earlthepearl4161 clearly you’ve never been in a subway car with a raging psycho. You freeze and try to be invisible so they don’t kill you. It’s terrifying.
@@VBITES1 Do you know me? No you don't, so you have no idea wtf you are talking about Clyde. I used to take the NYC subway at all hours, day and night while working catering gigs for a living. How pathetic are you really? I avoided trouble with the most confidence in my ability to do what was necessary if I couldn't avoid it. So much for what you know.
Neely’s threats were very much sincere. He had been arrested over 40 times for multiple offenses several of them violent. For example: assault of an old woman, attempted kidnapping of a child, and a few other assaults. None of this is me trying bash the guy. It’s sad that a man died. I’m just trying to clarify that he had a violent history and was a threat to the people on that train. Had the NYC justice system actually done the right thing and either put him in prison or institutionalized him, he might have been alive right now. Don’t blame the citizen for standing up and protecting women and children. Blame people like Alvin Bragg who use the judicial system to go after regular people and political opponents instead of locking up actual criminals.
Considering Penny would have no way of knowing that history it has no bearing on his decision to do what he did in that moment. Penny also could have utilized a different method of restraint. He chose a hold that could easily result in death, and as such, used deadly force against an unarmed person causing a disturbance. You talk about locking up "actual criminals", and so if Penny is found guilty, I guess he becomes one of these "actual criminals" so what would you want the punishment (or lack of) be?
@@adoredpariah Fair point. I was trying to emphasize that Neely was a career criminal that was also mentally unstable. The Legacy Media is not discussing that fact. That is why I posted it. Penny probably didn't know that Neely was a criminal. He and at least 2 other people saw a man threatening women and children and saying he wasn't afraid of the consequences. People with nothing to lose (especially ones who clearly are mentally deranged) are unpredictable. Penny and the others took what they believed was reasonable action to subdue a perceived threat. Many of the witnesses were thanking Penny for protecting them from a crazy homeless man. What method of restraint would you have used? I'm not an expert in hand to hand combat and I assume you aren't either. Real life is messy and just about any use of force has the potential to be deadly. There are so many things that can go wrong in situations like this that cannot be accounted for. I'm willing to give Penny the benefit of the doubt because of the fact that Neely had a long history of violence and was being belligerent. If can be proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Penny acted either reckless or maliciously then he should receive the proper punishment. He's being charged for manslaughter which at worst could mean he acted out of blind rage or he intended to cause serious injury Neely and ended up killing him by mistake. From what I can tell neither is the case, but we don't have all the facts yet. We'll see what happens in the trial.
@@adoredpariah you missed the point completely. No one is saying Penny knew about his prior arrests but OP is trying to point out Neely's violent character. You can't blame someone for finally delivering the treatment a violent person deserves.
@Sam Kornrumph you guys use that "career criminal" crap very loosely when it comes to people that dont look like you. 1st off the majority of his offenses were civil and NOT criminal..do your research. He had toll hoppin charges and yes criminal charges that obviously didnt stick cuz he was out on the streets..not on bond either. I bet you never saw the videos of him on the train entertaining the passenger's and the following he had in the nyc subways & TikTok lol...u just see what you want...cant empathize with anyone..but youll entertain everything involved with dehumanizing someone..zero empathy for anyone that isnt like you
It absolutely blows my mind how this man is on the line for helping when had he not and had the threats been carried out we would have been questioning the same man for not helping.
@@feelingblueinny Actually I heard a few days ago no charges so he free…. Which I’m glad no charges this man was just protecting people on train . The ex marine is a great guy sometimes these crazy people on trains & buses be destructive need to be taught a lesson. ITS BOUT TIME…
If a mentally ill person making threats was punishable by death, New York would be empty. Funny how the mentally ill man was seen as a problem but it was the quiet guy who ended up taking a life
YES, thankyou for your service! In a country where decent citizens that protect oneself and others from evil minded attackers (in some states) are treated like criminals.
This man doesn’t sound like someone who was trying to take anyone out. He was trying to restrain a deranged man, and now he has been charged with manslaughter? The trial is gonna bring out exactly what went down that day!
Most Of The Innocent Looking Or Inconspicuous ... Have Been The Most Dangerous ...Just Sayin' Can't Judge Him By His Appearance Nor His Resume 🥺 Our World Is Soo Evil .. Excessive Forced Trauma 🤷🏻♀️ Police Do It *All* The Time n Cause Unessasary Death .. Let Justice Be Done 🙏🏼
yet, look at the video. This man is a straight up psychopath. Doesn't matter what happened before, really, I believe everything he said about what happened. This was still a thousand times beyond what was actually necessary to subdue this scrawwny homeless man.
The guy he MURDERED didn't attack anyone nor was he the aggressor. Was he yelling and screaming and generally being a nuisance on the train? Absolutely. But that gives no one the right to outright murder someone. You don't need to keep someone in a chokehold for 15 minutes. That's murder. I hope they throw the book at him. This guy wasn't a hero and he isn't a martyr. he's someone that wanted to be a hero and just became a murderer.
@@RollinTrollin Naw, he's a murderer. He came up from behind and put Jordan Neely in a chokehold. Jordan neely didn't attack anyone. Was he screaming and yelling? Yup. But I didn't know those actions gave justification for murder. The lack of humanity of the people that agree with this murder is sad but not surprising.
Wait what? lol You are delusional. This guy came from BEHIND Jordan neely and put this man in a headlock. Jordan Neely did NOT attack anyone, did not physically touch or harm anyone. This guy wasn't defending himself. He just wanted to be a hero and now he became a murderer. Lets not act like this guy is a hero from sneaking behind someone having a mental health episode and choking them to death.
@@jena7055 Were you there? Verbal threats like that aren't nothing. What would you want, for him to wait until he carried out his threats? He's hurt people before!!
Interesting how the family now wants to step in and act like they care for there family member.🤦 And yet put the blame on this young man who's doing the right thing.
do something about what? the guy didn't put his hands on anybody and he didn't have a weapon. what people should have done is called the cops and then stand there and wait for them. not choke a guy to death for yelling
@@justtubing767 You are all up and down this comment section. Why are you so mad at a criminal getting what he deserved and people supporting this man?
A medal for killing someone?! What kind of goof are you? No. A medal for protecting many individuals in a confined atmosphere against a violent individual making strong threats that could've had a weapon, been dangerously disturbed, drugged up to wazoo, that could've maimed or killed many, YES.
I used to take the metro back when I lived in LA. I had 3 years of torture, it’s such a toxic environment and sometimes I felt scared for my life and people just don’t step out and help anyone. Mental health is such a problem and at the metro is where you’ll face that. People in a funk will kill you because they are literally out of their minds. I had a few scary incidents and I know how scary it is from stop to stop when someone is going off on you for no reason. Mr. Whatever your name is, I stand by you. I know what that feels like and if someone is harassing someone else and you felt the need to intervene, I thank you.
NYC is no different. I grew up here and people can be so hateful and nasty here sometimes it's unreal. Whenever these bums end up in the same car as me, I'm always praying for two things, first they don't target me, and second the train gets to the next stop asap so I can get into another car without making it look obvious to the lunatic. Can't do anything else unfortunately.
@@professional.commentator yep! I saw someone get stabbed in the metro and people were so startled and the victim was in such a state of shock, no one knew what to do, the bum who stabbed her literally stabbed her right before the train came to a stop and he just got off and left like it was no big deal! Only people who use the metro in a big city know the struggle is beyond real!
I rode the LA metro about 13 years ago cause I had to go Downtown and didn't want to drive, it wasn't bad, It was clean and people looked normal. Then I had to ride it again last year cause I had jury duty in Downtown and it was much different, dirty seats, urine stains, graffitti, homeless people with their junk, "performers", people selling crap, signature gatherers, unstable people talking to themselves and shouting and people getting into arguments over a shoulder bump. It was scary.
@@V.E.R.O. yes in fact, someone tried to push me off on the rails because I went into the elevator upstairs in front of him. He got into the elevator with me and I thought he was going to strangle me. He shouted the entire time how he was going to push me onto the rails. So I ran out of the elevator but noticed he was chasing me. I knew I had to keep moving and calculate the moment to jump into whichever cabin he didn’t go into. Eventually I moved out of LA and recovered my peace of mind.
@@labitcoineragt3596 Wow that must have been terrifying! I remembered those incidents in NY of people being pushed to their deaths while waiting for the metro so I made sure to keep away from the edge, kept my back against the wall and didn't let anyone stand behind me. I plan to eventually leave LA, where did you move to?
Born and raised New Yorker and I’ve seen that kind of passenger many times, sad to say but I side with this guy on trial, I’ve had to be that guy to stand up for those that couldn’t defend themselves against individuals like the deceased man.
See how horrible this world is becoming? CAN EVERYONE NOW WAKE UP?!?!?!?!? This poor man was trying to do something honorable and look what has happened to him! We all need to get it together because things are just getting worse and worse and I am sad that this is the world my 4 year old Granddaughter will grow up in! Thank you sir for putting your life on the line and for keeping your head held high ❤
that guy is a murderer. the homeless guy didn't have a weapon and he didn't put his hands on anyone. instead of choaking someone for 15 minuets he should have just waited for the police to show up. he murdered someone for yelling. he belongs in prison
@@wesley135 Funny neither did Penny. Almost like you don’t need a weapon to hurt someone. And if Neely did have a weapon I bet you would still be here screaming for Penny’s head.
@@samkornrumph8545 ? what are you talking about? he murdered a guy to death for yelling. he did something wrong. he put his hands on people when he should have called the police and waited for them. what he should not have done is choke someone for 15 minuets because they are yelling
The Marine acted when the 40+ arrest criminal threatening the whole subway car. Criminal was taller than the Marine. He was young. He had to be stopped before he tried to carry out the threats. He is a hero.
@siriusjones956 The story is this: Maniac goes on subway threatens to k*ll innocent lives LITERALLY! And a hero saves the day. Does having a mental illness give u a right to take other pples lives ??
@@diggorypat66the man who had a rap sheet for assaulting ppl on the train? Any other questions? Let’s not act like evil isn’t capable of being in ALL RACES!
Protect this man. As a fellow veteran in NY? I can say, sadly people are like this all the time. I believe this man acted professionally and accordingly.
You absolutely did the right thing, Daniel. I want to hug you and your family. Please don't ever second-guess what you did. So many people are afraid to take a stand and do the right thing, but you DID. You are an example to the WORLD -- no exaggeration. Your actions have forced all of us to consider what we would do in such a situation, and I hope the answer for many will be "I would do the same thing as Daniel Penny." Your name will now be associated with courage and self-lessness. Stay strong.
I’ve actually been in very similar circumstances with a person who is possibly on drugs threatening and scaring several people, I put myself between the man and the other people and I luckily did not have to restrain him because after a few minutes he did leave the area (bus stop), but I can sympathize with this guy, I believe he did what he thought was necessary to help others, for no other reason than to be a good person… I pray we don’t lock up the man helping… because if he did nothing and that other guy hurt or killed someone, we’d all be asking why didn’t someone do something?
Same. A drunk man attacked a woman. I stepped in and we left the scene. He followed us in a car and attacked again. Knocked him out to protect us. He was severely injured. Got 3 years in prison and have to pay 100000€. So this case is very interesting to me
@PulseChain3D attacking a woman is a serious crime. Yelling and being menacing is not or a misdemeanor at most so he will see jail time regardless of his intentions. That's what manslaughter is unintentional killing 1-15yrs if I'm not mistaken so he could get as low as 1 or 15 years depending on hiw the jury sees it based off the evidence but he won't see no jail time.
@scenekidd155 The problem in my case was that I didn't let him hit her or me. He tried but didn't succeed. It wasn't relevant in court. In the end, it counted as if he had done pretty much nothing. So, yes. I think he will go to prison too.
Exactly! And if someone on that train was attacked physically it would have been talked about by the media for about 2 seconds before going back to 'Orange Man Bad' since that's the only other thing that gets them views.
@Sam Kornrumph or Mr Penny would actually be justified in his actions because he stopped someone in the act of a actual crime...you know..like physically touching someone and not just talking 🙄
no we don't. he is a murderer. the guy he killed didn't have a weapon. he didn't put his hands on anyone. and he wasn't threating anyone specifically. he should have called the cops and waited for them to get there. not choke someone for 15 minutes while people are telling you to stop before you kill him
@@rondodson5736 it's OK if you don't know what happened. There was witnesses there that saw him murder someone. And people were telling him to stop before he killed him.
It would be so wrong if they convict him because of this. If they do, the message that this would send out is if you see someone who is about to or is getting assaulted and you're physically capable of preventing or stopping the assault, you shouldn't get involved. So if you're a bodybuilder, a martial artist or even a little old lady with pepper spray, *DON'T GET INVOLVED* because if you do, there will be legal ramifications.
More legal ramifications than the actual criminal threatening people’s lives. It’s crazy a** backwards!! They want to punish the good and reward these slimeball criminals. They’re tearing this country apart.
About to? You know how many "about to's" Ive seen be nothing burgers? Lol if everyone was allowed to react on what they "think" will happen...lol nevermind yall luv this stuff and think its right, when its you...
He had no weapon..the worse he would have done was grab or punch someone..and at that point..Mr Penny, sir..do your thing...but no...still doesnt mean your allowed to kill the man. But in this case he didnt even touch anyone...so Mr Penny...the future seeing murderer, is guilty. But won't be to the fullest extent since he is protected within the court of WS. Slap on the wrist
Then it would be like canada. If we're attacked, we're expected to lay down and die, we have almost zero rights under any circumstances to protect ourselves or our families. Imagine what it's like to live every day knowing, that if someone entered your home, brutally murdered your children infront of you and you kill or harm the killer, you'll face life in prison. You lose your family and your life for the "rights of trash".
There are so many attacks happening by homeless and mentally unstable. Documented as unstable and aggressive so I am with this man. Thank you for your service
Agree completely with you. But it is also a failure on the mayor and the local government. We need way more police presence, to prevent these incidents, to reinstate bail laws when crime is committed, deny bail to violent criminals, and reinstate three strikes you’re out laws for violent crime.
No baby he did not he choked someone son till he died that’s not rite girl everyone has bad days the guy ain’t have no weapon worst case maybe a night in jail but for that man to lose his life ? Cmon what is heroic about that seriously be honest it’s horrible imagine the other family and u saying he did the rite thing smh
@@forrest5077 he did do the right thing, would you want anyone from your family be threatened in the manner this POS did? I hope you or anyone else has to go through being threatened like that POS did. I would be thankful this guy was stopped dead in his tracks for trying to pull something like this. The Man that threatened is responsible for his mental health issues along with his family. No one to blame but him and his family, GET IT????
Daniel... God Bless You, my Prayers and thoughts are with you. You did a Noble Act and now paying the price for it. You are a hero to all of us. Stay STRONG.
This guy came from BEHIND Jordan neely and put this man in a headlock. Jordan Neely did NOT attack anyone, did not physically touch or harm anyone. This guy wasn't defending himself. He just wanted to be a hero and now he became a murderer. Lets not act like this guy is a hero from sneaking behind someone having a mental health episode and choking them to death.
@@alecrobertson5415 YES, I agree with you, under RESTRAINT, he was still viciously kicking and trying to HARM the heroic brave men protecting the passengers!!!
Is that his defense claim to justify assault and manslaughter charges? Brilliant strategy. Good job American public education system. Fine products that been manufactured.
Excuse me? Killing has no excuse my friend. Nobody should die like that. If he is a marine he could just chocked him unconcious not to death. Be reasonable..
@@Yusa25 “clocking” or punching is much more reckless than a restraint. I don’t want to be mean, but you obviously have never trained or been in a fight. The military never trains to punch, that is only in the movies. A punch extends your arm out of you center of gravity and puts you off balance. Also, you could brake your hand. The bad guy could end up with with broken bones in the face. If he falls he could hit his head and die. Many time when a person is high and they get put in a hold they experience excited delirium and their heart stops. It happens to cops all the time.
@@specter7-1977 I’m from a military family and my family is still active in the Army and Navy and I did basic training and your lying 😂stop with this foolish nonsense 😂😂
@@TragiicWorld I call BS, there’s no way you went through any kind of combatives Training, I’m pretty sure the army at least has some kind of introduction to combatives in basic. The fact that you use the word basic means you were in the army. This means you have no experience to say that I am lying. you going through Army basic means you never went through the MCMAP. I know you failed at army basic but if you did any kind of comparatives the instructor would have told you you do not throw a punch in combat. I don’t care what your family has done, that doesn’t affect you. You sound like the guy who walks up to me when I’m wearing my uniform to explain how he almost joined the military. So cool story, I’m glad your family has actually contributed to the defense of our nation. When I read your comment, all I see is that you failed out of basic. I’m not really impressed by your vast military experience. Lol My responses to point out how are you are trying to use the ad verecundiam fallacy and a clear sign of the The Dunning-Kruger cognitive bias. Please don’t come on here, pretending you know something, you never know who you’re actually speaking to.
I would have reacted the same way - there are too many cowards in our society that turn a blind eye or fear being sued because our system of justice is corrupt beyond measure ~ people who lack ethics and morals are no longer part of a society, but a danger to it on every level. The victim who died, was not a victim at all, and his behavior brought his fate upon himself.
The guy he MURDERED didn't attack anyone nor was he the aggressor. Was he yelling and screaming and generally being a nuisance on the train? Absolutely. But that gives no one the right to outright murder someone. You don't need to keep someone in a chokehold for 15 minutes. That's murder. I hope they throw the book at him.

I lived in New York for 57 years of my life. I know those feelings very well; when someone threatening gets on the train. I took that same F train daily and I was on that route many many times over the years. That was the main train I took to work everyday for decades. I can't tell you how many intimidating loud dangerous people have en countered on the train. This guy is a hero. I don't care what the situation is for the person he restrained . When someone comes in in a threatening matter you don't have time to think you only have time to react. Most people don't help. Most people let violence occur and they don't come to your aid. This guy should be cloned. When something like that happens you either become an instant victim, or you have to take a risk and try to mitigate the situation. This hero did not administer a beating he restrained threatening individual. He should be commended and appreciated and rewarded. It is tragic than anyone is looking at this guy in any other way that does not appreciate his actions.
If he had just subdued the man, then yes, he should be commended and appreciated and rewarded as you say, but he didn't, he ended up Killing a man. Doesn't matter how you look at it, since from a logical point of view, excessive force was used. You cant even shoot and kill a man for punching you in the face since by law thats considered as excessive force, so what makes you think this scenario deserved to end with excessive force and murder?? If the man was in the middle of assaulting and harming people, then by all means i wouldn't have cared if the Marine choked him out till he died, but he wasn't.
@@femiosusa510- that’s actually a great point. The homeless man died, regardless of the veteran’s intentions. It’s unfortunate. He may get some leniency during sentencing if charged and end up being manslaughter instead of murder.
@@stephaniehilliard6730 This incident had NOTHING to do with skin color and everything to do with the continuing violence of Jordan Neely. He was a criminal with a history of violence. Daniel Penny had no intention of ending Neeley's life. Jordan Neeley's death was a result of his violent actions and the multiple failures by prosecutors in New York who failed in their duties to protect the public from criminals like Neely.
What a horrible situation this brave man now finds himself in. With all the witness statements from other passengers I'm actually shocked they charged him at all.
In Australia we have ‘PSO’s’ protective service officers which patrol each train station all day and night. Do they have that in America? Because I hear so many stories about criminals and junkies on the subway and that it’s extremely dangerous.. they should definitely have officers at every subway station, to at least make the public feel safer and if you are being harassed you can find an officer to protect you
Sad to see a hero treated like a common criminal! We live in a messed up world, a messed up time!! Sad that im leaving such a society and world for my kids to live in
Well said Mr. Penny. Thanks for stepping up in a frightening and dangerous situation that you didn't ask for, but you stepped up to protect those who were vulnerable. The State of New York and the City of New York, are the ones responsible for Mr. Neely's death, because they inflicted Mr. Neely on innocent subway riders, fellow Americans, when he should by any reasonable accounting, have been in jail for the multiple violent crimes he had already committed, or in an institution getting help for his mental illness!
Because apparently he has trash attorneys. Which is not a good sign for his legal defense. He said too much here that will be used against him in court. Especially because he touted his military training. We are not trained to do chokes like that. That was all him.
You pass out from a choke hold well before death, now tell me again how this unconscious guy was still a risk when he became unresponsive. This clown used far more than reasonable force and no matter what the dead guys background was it wasn't up to him to decide on a death penalty.💩🚮
I live in California and these homeless drug addicts are out of control. When they commit crimes, they get a slap on the hand and out of jail in a few hours. It is ridiculous!! Homeless drug addicts have attacked women walking their dogs during the day. A man was attacked while walking to work. One of them threatened to kill me because I was walking on the side walk. These homeless drug addicts need to be forced off the streets because they do not accept help and resources that are offered to them. They commit crimes to feed their drug addiction and assault people while on drugs.😡

He stated he did not have him in a hold for 15 minutes and I along with many others believe him because that makes sense in the time line. Good luck in life smooth brain.
Unfortunately most people wouldn't have done what this gentleman did. That's the problem. He is indeed a hero and it would be a better world if more people would have done what he did. I do appreciate you're view however. I know what you're trying to say. Not to disrespect you just pointing out reality.
Thank you Daniel Penny I just hope a man like you is around if me or my children are in a position like that. I'm sorry the media/government is doing this to you! What a disgrace they are. If only the men in government and the media were like you. God Bless you I will pray for you every chance I get. 🧡 Melissa (One of your biggest supporters).
You are a true American man doing what every man should do. We need more men like you! It is time more people stand up to this lawlessness! Thank you! My wife was punched in the face by some out of control nut job in a grocery store parking lot! Sorry you had to go through this! I would be proud to have you as a son! Thank you for your service in the USMC!
This is a different story then. The kid got what came to him then. I didn’t know about the threats of murder . No. This dude is a hero ! That’s the definition of hero to save someone else’s life or lives. Which he did willingly.
What they tried to do to this guy is absolutely disgusting. It's becoming illegal in our culture to be a hero. I knew NYC was a rotten city but good grief. Never in a million years would I ever move there. Big shout out to Penny and thank you for your service sir. 🇺🇸🙏❤💙💛
Ya...I visited New York city before..interesting city & ppl that's for sure..I remember one time I was walking down the street near Times Square and saw a NYPD cop nearby walked past him and waved at him..he looked at me funny was his response..lol.
Assault, and committing manslaughter with no lawful justification is indeed illegal, and only in clown world would doing so be the definition of a hero.
I don't answer unless my name is highlighted. Where I live it's called self defense. Funny how people in here thatare against self defense never say what they would do.
This Marine deserves the Medal of Honour, the middle class all hard working people deserve to live without violence/fear with the right to defend one's person, family and home.
Congratulations on the verdict, I am sorry you had to go through that. Neely should have been in an institution, his family failed him, the city failed him, the state & county failed him. Had they done their job those passengers never would have had to go through that and you would never have your life derailed. Praying it gets back on track.
I THANK YOU SIR !!! You probably saved many lives with your empathy, bravery, prompt response and adept skill level. I only wish there were at least 10,000 more people exactly like you. Hope the ridiculous charges are dropped. May God bless you. ❤🇨🇦
So you mean we need 10,000 more people that play judge, jury and executioner? We need 10,000 more people who decide to put justice in their own hands and kill people with mental illness? The guy who he MURDERED (lets call a spade a spade) was loud, yes, was he making things uncomfortable for people on the subway? Yes. But did he attack anyone? Was he GOING to attack someone? Or did this wanna be hero see someone yelling and decide to take matters into his own hands. This guy isn't a hero. He was eager to be one and became a murderer.
@@jena7055 He was yelling that he was going to KILL them. Did you not watch the video? Your advice is to sit by until he make good on his threats?? What if it was your face he was yelling at and threatening? Oh I guess you and your good thoughts would have calmed him down The people on the actual subway car with him were thankful someone stepped in. NO ONE-not even the mentally ill-have the right to terrorize another. No one. Speaking of judge & jury looks like you’ve already got this wrapped up-before there has even been a trial.
@@jena7055 Dude was arrested 43 times (several of those arrests were for assault) and had a warrant out for his arrest at the time of the incident. So yes, he would most likely would have attacked people.
He doesn’t care. The man died. He’s gotta live with that for the rest of his life in or outside of prison. This mans life is ruined all because we let society be corrupted to a point where we treat criminals as victims.
funny how the media use the photo of the criminal years before the incident. its like one those cases where family of the criminal bring out the graduation pics or 7th grade picture.
He comes across as being sincere and I really don't think he meant to kill the man, but when he says that he didn't choke the man long enough for him to die, he lost me on that part! The man is dead! Obviously you did choke him long enough for him to die!
Unless the man died from something other than strangulation. In other words, has a heart condition been ruled out? Fatal drug use? Enough information isn't being released here.
And you are army trained ..he knows how much pressure to apply in that type of choke hold ..that was deadly ..and he said he did it for multiple stops..
NOT GUILTY! Justice is served the right way in this case and those New Yorkers protesting “no justice no peace” as we speak, need their heads examined. Had he been found guilty, we would see a LOT LESS men defending those that can’t defend themselves and that’s a fact!
Is it ok to talk about how you killed a man that freely in the US ? In my country there is a thin line between standing still and choking someone to death.
He is a hero and it’s BS that a crazy man who had been arrested over 44 times and had a warrant out for his arrest for a brutal assault of an old woman
I saw a video of a guy grabbing a girl by the hair on a New York subway and threatening her. Many passengers just sat their and ignored the girl's cries for help as the guy just kept terrorizing her in front of everyone. This case is exactly the reason why no one did anything. You guys voted in these guys, you guys deal with it now.
The problem is a threat, vs a physical assault are two different things! Did Mr. Nealy have a weapon? As a born bred New Yorker, it is annoying that the mental health system has failed and because of that there are a lot of chronic mentally ill people in the city who many happen to be homeless. I have felt safe on the trains or in the street because of homeless mentally illness Individuals that they are often unkept, and sometimes have been harassing people for money. I have been verbally assaulted often, however that man did not have the right to take Mr. Nealy’s life and it was not his place to take care of the homelessness problem in this city. The city failed Mr. Nealy but Penny killed that man and he didn’t have to die. PeriodT!
If there’s not a “FULL” video of the chokehold from start to finish, we’ll never know the truth, other than witness testimony, and the autopsy….He may have needed to act and restrain the belligerent man, but at what point does the restraint lead to death, due to over exertion of the restraint?…..Being a trained marine, he should understand when a person is limp (incapacitated), and should let go.
Neely wasn’t arrested 40+ times for being an upright citizen. Not to mention an active warrant out for assault.
And this devil had no authority to take a life...they better get this verdict right! This lispy punk got to get his!!!!

As a woman who spent years riding the NYC subway, having been assaulted and molested frequent times, I'm grateful there's still men like Daniel Penny who'll stand up and neutralize the threat! Should he have waited until this man actually physically carried out his threats? What if your mother was sitting n that car, terrified? Or your child? Clearly they need security guards in subway cars so people like Mr. Penny aren't called upon to protect riders at his own cost.

@@VBITES1 You sound like a coward.
Neely’s threats were very much sincere. He had been arrested over 40 times for multiple offenses several of them violent. For example: assault of an old woman, attempted kidnapping of a child, and a few other assaults.
None of this is me trying bash the guy. It’s sad that a man died. I’m just trying to clarify that he had a violent history and was a threat to the people on that train.
Had the NYC justice system actually done the right thing and either put him in prison or institutionalized him, he might have been alive right now.
Don’t blame the citizen for standing up and protecting women and children. Blame people like Alvin Bragg who use the judicial system to go after regular people and political opponents instead of locking up actual criminals.
@Sam Kornrumph Thank you so much for the facts. I completely agree with you.👍
Considering Penny would have no way of knowing that history it has no bearing on his decision to do what he did in that moment. Penny also could have utilized a different method of restraint. He chose a hold that could easily result in death, and as such, used deadly force against an unarmed person causing a disturbance.
You talk about locking up "actual criminals", and so if Penny is found guilty, I guess he becomes one of these "actual criminals" so what would you want the punishment (or lack of) be?
@@adoredpariah Fair point. I was trying to emphasize that Neely was a career criminal that was also mentally unstable. The Legacy Media is not discussing that fact. That is why I posted it. Penny probably didn't know that Neely was a criminal. He and at least 2 other people saw a man threatening women and children and saying he wasn't afraid of the consequences. People with nothing to lose (especially ones who clearly are mentally deranged) are unpredictable. Penny and the others took what they believed was reasonable action to subdue a perceived threat. Many of the witnesses were thanking Penny for protecting them from a crazy homeless man.
What method of restraint would you have used? I'm not an expert in hand to hand combat and I assume you aren't either. Real life is messy and just about any use of force has the potential to be deadly. There are so many things that can go wrong in situations like this that cannot be accounted for. I'm willing to give Penny the benefit of the doubt because of the fact that Neely had a long history of violence and was being belligerent.
If can be proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Penny acted either reckless or maliciously then he should receive the proper punishment. He's being charged for manslaughter which at worst could mean he acted out of blind rage or he intended to cause serious injury Neely and ended up killing him by mistake. From what I can tell neither is the case, but we don't have all the facts yet. We'll see what happens in the trial.
@@adoredpariah you missed the point completely. No one is saying Penny knew about his prior arrests but OP is trying to point out Neely's violent character. You can't blame someone for finally delivering the treatment a violent person deserves.
@Sam Kornrumph you guys use that "career criminal" crap very loosely when it comes to people that dont look like you. 1st off the majority of his offenses were civil and NOT criminal..do your research. He had toll hoppin charges and yes criminal charges that obviously didnt stick cuz he was out on the streets..not on bond either. I bet you never saw the videos of him on the train entertaining the passenger's and the following he had in the nyc subways & TikTok lol...u just see what you want...cant empathize with anyone..but youll entertain everything involved with dehumanizing someone..zero empathy for anyone that isnt like you
It absolutely blows my mind how this man is on the line for helping when had he not and had the threats been carried out we would have been questioning the same man for not helping.

I used to take the metro back when I lived in LA. I had 3 years of torture, it’s such a toxic environment and sometimes I felt scared for my life and people just don’t step out and help anyone. Mental health is such a problem and at the metro is where you’ll face that. People in a funk will kill you because they are literally out of their minds. I had a few scary incidents and I know how scary it is from stop to stop when someone is going off on you for no reason. Mr. Whatever your name is, I stand by you. I know what that feels like and if someone is harassing someone else and you felt the need to intervene, I thank you.
NYC is no different. I grew up here and people can be so hateful and nasty here sometimes it's unreal. Whenever these bums end up in the same car as me, I'm always praying for two things, first they don't target me, and second the train gets to the next stop asap so I can get into another car without making it look obvious to the lunatic. Can't do anything else unfortunately.
@@professional.commentator yep! I saw someone get stabbed in the metro and people were so startled and the victim was in such a state of shock, no one knew what to do, the bum who stabbed her literally stabbed her right before the train came to a stop and he just got off and left like it was no big deal! Only people who use the metro in a big city know the struggle is beyond real!
I rode the LA metro about 13 years ago cause I had to go Downtown and didn't want to drive, it wasn't bad, It was clean and people looked normal. Then I had to ride it again last year cause I had jury duty in Downtown and it was much different, dirty seats, urine stains, graffitti, homeless people with their junk, "performers", people selling crap, signature gatherers, unstable people talking to themselves and shouting and people getting into arguments over a shoulder bump. It was scary.
@@V.E.R.O. yes in fact, someone tried to push me off on the rails because I went into the elevator upstairs in front of him. He got into the elevator with me and I thought he was going to strangle me. He shouted the entire time how he was going to push me onto the rails. So I ran out of the elevator but noticed he was chasing me. I knew I had to keep moving and calculate the moment to jump into whichever cabin he didn’t go into. Eventually I moved out of LA and recovered my peace of mind.
@@labitcoineragt3596 Wow that must have been terrifying!

I’ve actually been in very similar circumstances with a person who is possibly on drugs threatening and scaring several people, I put myself between the man and the other people and I luckily did not have to restrain him because after a few minutes he did leave the area (bus stop), but I can sympathize with this guy, I believe he did what he thought was necessary to help others, for no other reason than to be a good person… I pray we don’t lock up the man helping… because if he did nothing and that other guy hurt or killed someone, we’d all be asking why didn’t someone do something?
Same. A drunk man attacked a woman. I stepped in and we left the scene. He followed us in a car and attacked again. Knocked him out to protect us. He was severely injured.
Got 3 years in prison and have to pay 100000€. So this case is very interesting to me
@PulseChain3D attacking a woman is a serious crime. Yelling and being menacing is not or a misdemeanor at most so he will see jail time regardless of his intentions. That's what manslaughter is unintentional killing 1-15yrs if I'm not mistaken so he could get as low as 1 or 15 years depending on hiw the jury sees it based off the evidence but he won't see no jail time.
@scenekidd155 The problem in my case was that I didn't let him hit her or me. He tried but didn't succeed. It wasn't relevant in court. In the end, it counted as if he had done pretty much nothing.
So, yes. I think he will go to prison too.
Exactly! And if someone on that train was attacked physically it would have been talked about by the media for about 2 seconds before going back to 'Orange Man Bad' since that's the only other thing that gets them views.

It would be so wrong if they convict him because of this.

@@jena7055 I think yelling about killing people on the train is pretty aggressive
@@jena7055 The guy he restrained had over 40 prior convictions for violence, he was a known danger to locals, stop trying to be woke
@@jena7055 I would love to see you in the same situation.
He killed a mentally ill man when he had the option to restrain him. The man was no match for this former marine. He’s despicable
GOD BLESS THIS MARINE, AND THE OTHER 2 MEN WHO TRIED TO DO WHAT WAS RIGHT!!! 🇺🇸🙏❤️
Back the criminal....until they do it to YOU ?????
God Bless OJ Simpson too.

More like a family trying to hit the gold mine off the son's crimes! shame on them
@@nathanwilliams4005 Semper Fi.
I lived in New York for 57 years of my life. I know those feelings very well; when someone threatening gets on the train. I took that same F train daily and I was on that route many many times over the years. That was the main train I took to work everyday for decades. I can't tell you how many intimidating loud dangerous people have en countered on the train. This guy is a hero. I don't care what the situation is for the person he restrained . When someone comes in in a threatening matter you don't have time to think you only have time to react. Most people don't help. Most people let violence occur and they don't come to your aid. This guy should be cloned.
When something like that happens you either become an instant victim, or you have to take a risk and try to mitigate the situation. This hero did not administer a beating he restrained threatening individual. He should be commended and appreciated and rewarded.
It is tragic than anyone is looking at this guy in any other way that does not appreciate his actions.
jesserichard Appreciate your brilliant comment, it is PERFECT!!!
If he had just subdued the man, then yes, he should be commended and appreciated and rewarded as you say, but he didn't, he ended up Killing a man. Doesn't matter how you look at it, since from a logical point of view, excessive force was used. You cant even shoot and kill a man for punching you in the face since by law thats considered as excessive force, so what makes you think this scenario deserved to end with excessive force and murder?? If the man was in the middle of assaulting and harming people, then by all means i wouldn't have cared if the Marine choked him out till he died, but he wasn't.
@@femiosusa510- that’s actually a great point. The homeless man died, regardless of the veteran’s intentions. It’s unfortunate. He may get some leniency during sentencing if charged and end up being manslaughter instead of murder.
@@sunshizzleyou Yes i absolutely agree with you.
B.S.
Nobody should encounter such threatening person on any day of their life. I understand why you did what you did. 😔

@@stephaniehilliard6730 This incident had NOTHING to do with skin color and everything to do with the continuing violence of Jordan Neely. He was a criminal with a history of violence. Daniel Penny had no intention of ending Neeley's life.

Right
He killed a man
@@jg1238and?
@@jg1238not a man, subhuman actually, noone cares about dirty Ns anyways
Killed, not murdered, and even then, not on purpose.
What a horrible situation this brave man now finds himself in. With all the witness statements from other passengers I'm actually shocked they charged him at all.
Cops always charge whether you are guilty or not.
This man acted in self defense he should not be in jail ❤ 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
In Australia we have ‘PSO’s’ protective service officers which patrol each train station all day and night. Do they have that in America? Because I hear so many stories about criminals and junkies on the subway and that it’s extremely dangerous.. they should definitely have officers at every subway station, to at least make the public feel safer and if you are being harassed you can find an officer to protect you
Sad to see a hero treated like a common criminal! We live in a messed up world, a messed up time!! Sad that im leaving such a society and world for my kids to live in
Well said Mr. Penny. Thanks for stepping up in a frightening and dangerous situation that you didn't ask for, but you stepped up to protect those who were vulnerable. The State of New York and the City of New York, are the ones responsible for Mr. Neely's death, because they inflicted Mr. Neely on innocent subway riders, fellow Americans, when he should by any reasonable accounting, have been in jail for the multiple violent crimes he had already committed, or in an institution getting help for his mental illness!
Why is he interviewing before a trial!!!
I wondered why netflix was allowed to put out a Lori Vallow documentary before her trial - surely that was potential jury pool tainting
Because apparently he has trash attorneys. Which is not a good sign for his legal defense. He said too much here that will be used against him in court. Especially because he touted his military training. We are not trained to do chokes like that. That was all him.
Because he can and falsely accused always should
Because he is innocent and the truth doesn't change. He will say the exact same thing when he's on the stand. May God bless and protect him.
You pass out from a choke hold well before death, now tell me again how this unconscious guy was still a risk when he became unresponsive. This clown used far more than reasonable force and no matter what the dead guys background was it wasn't up to him to decide on a death penalty.💩🚮
Thoughts and prayers are with you Daniel!
I live in California and these homeless drug addicts are out of control. When they commit crimes, they get a slap on the hand and out of jail in a few hours. It is ridiculous!! Homeless drug addicts have attacked women walking their dogs during the day. A man was attacked while walking to work. One of them threatened to kill me because I was walking on the side walk. These homeless drug addicts need to be forced off the streets because they do not accept help and resources that are offered to them. They commit crimes to feed their drug addiction and assault people while on drugs.😡
That's absolutely disgusting.
He is a decent person and did the right thing. Hope he is found innocent 🙏
I hope hes found expired like 🥛
@@doktastrange911Me too. He has a lot of support.
Good job brother you did what anyone of us would have done.
Doubtful.
But he has my support 100%
They won't. They were cowards then and they'll be cowards now.
The guy he MURDERED didn't attack anyone nor was he the aggressor. Was he yelling and screaming and generally being a nuisance on the train? Absolutely. But that gives no one the right to outright murder someone. You don't need to keep someone in a chokehold for 15 minutes. That's murder. I hope they throw the book at him.
@@jena7055 It'll be great when people like you that have the "throw the book at them" sentiment have some guy trying to harm you and no one will bother to step in and save you because it may lead to the bad guys death and that guy that might have stepped up to save you when no one else would and the police aren't around WON'T because of people like you crucifying him in the court of public opinion.
He stated he did not have him in a hold for 15 minutes and I along with many others believe him because that makes sense in the time line.
Good luck in life smooth brain.
Unfortunately most people wouldn't have done what this gentleman did. That's the problem. He is indeed a hero and it would be a better world if more people would have done what he did. I do appreciate you're view however. I know what you're trying to say. Not to disrespect you just pointing out reality.
Thank you Daniel Penny I just hope a man like you is around if me or my children are in a position like that. I'm sorry the media/government is doing this to you! What a disgrace they are. If only the men in government and the media were like you. God Bless you I will pray for you every chance I get. 🧡 Melissa (One of your biggest supporters).
You are a true American man doing what every man should do. We need more men like you!
It is time more people stand up to this lawlessness! Thank you! My wife was punched in the face by some out of control nut job in a grocery store parking lot! Sorry you had to go through this! I would be proud to have you as a son! Thank you for your service in the USMC!
Proper verdict was reached, you are now a free man
and the streets are safer tonight.
He's a living legend. He deserves a MEDAL.
His medal is hanging from his nostril. 👃🏻💫 You can’t see that nose ring?!!
His reward will be a brass medal ,shaped like a Eggplant 🍆 when he move into his new 6 X 9 room..
Im the 111th like 😊
This is a different story then. The kid got what came to him then. I didn’t know about the threats of murder .
No. This dude is a hero ! That’s the definition of hero to save someone else’s life or lives. Which he did willingly.
What they tried to do to this guy is absolutely disgusting. It's becoming illegal in our culture to be a hero. I knew NYC was a rotten city but good grief. Never in a million years would I ever move there. Big shout out to Penny and thank you for your service sir. 🇺🇸🙏❤💙💛
I don't ever want to go to that cesspool city either. The people that live there are not the same kind of human beings where I live.
Correction: a very specific type of hero. Eyes wide open.
Ya...I visited New York city before..interesting city & ppl that's for sure..I remember one time I was walking down the street near Times Square and saw a NYPD cop nearby walked past him and waved at him..he looked at me funny was his response..lol.
Assault, and committing manslaughter with no lawful justification is indeed illegal, and only in clown world would doing so be the definition of a hero.
I don't answer unless my name is highlighted. Where I live it's called self defense. Funny how people in here thatare against self defense never say what they would do.
This Marine deserves the Medal of Honour, the middle class all hard working people deserve to live without violence/fear with the right to defend one's person, family and home.
Mr. Penny, if you see this, just know, most of us are on your side. ♥
The voices in your head don't really count as," most of us ."
No, he is a clown.
Congratulations on the verdict, I am sorry you had to go through that. Neely should have been in an institution, his family failed him, the city failed him, the state & county failed him. Had they done their job those passengers never would have had to go through that and you would never have your life derailed. Praying it gets back on track.
I THANK YOU SIR !!! You probably saved many lives with your empathy, bravery, prompt response and adept skill level. I only wish there were at least 10,000 more people exactly like you. Hope the ridiculous charges are dropped. May God bless you. ❤🇨🇦
So you mean we need 10,000 more people that play judge, jury and executioner? We need 10,000 more people who decide to put justice in their own hands and kill people with mental illness? The guy who he MURDERED (lets call a spade a spade) was loud, yes, was he making things uncomfortable for people on the subway? Yes. But did he attack anyone? Was he GOING to attack someone? Or did this wanna be hero see someone yelling and decide to take matters into his own hands. This guy isn't a hero. He was eager to be one and became a murderer.
@@jena7055 Google his criminal record
@@jena7055 He was yelling that he was going to KILL them. Did you not watch the video? Your advice is to sit by until he make good on his threats?? What if it was your face he was yelling at and threatening? Oh I guess you and your good thoughts would have calmed him down
The people on the actual subway car with him were thankful someone stepped in.
NO ONE-not even the mentally ill-have the right to terrorize another. No one.
Speaking of judge & jury looks like you’ve already got this wrapped up-before there has even been a trial.
@@jena7055 Dude was arrested 43 times (several of those arrests were for assault) and had a warrant out for his arrest at the time of the incident. So yes, he would most likely would have attacked people.
Would you say this if he choked and killed your son?
Daniel Penny saying that the chokehold was only 5 minutes, not 15, doesn't help his case. His attorney should have advised him not to say anything.
He doesn’t care. The man died. He’s gotta live with that for the rest of his life in or outside of prison. This mans life is ruined all because we let society be corrupted to a point where we treat criminals as victims.
@@diemc7a1and here I was thinking that his life is ruined by committing assault that led to manslaughter?
Silly me.
The American people have your back, Daniel
I am not American what does it mean to have someone back?
Drop the charges Braggs!!
They say this will discourage Good Samaritans from intervening like this. I can't think of anything else it does.
Thank you for your courage.
You are a hero !!! Thank you for your service and your courage!
Thank you for your service, bravery.
funny how the media use the photo of the criminal years before the incident. its like one those cases where family of the criminal bring out the graduation pics or 7th grade picture.
Dude in the video looks 30+ and the photo they used he looks 18-19 lol… I guess that was BEFORE the 40 arrests and mental breakdown
He comes across as being sincere and I really don't think he meant to kill the man, but when he says that he didn't choke the man long enough for him to die, he lost me on that part! The man is dead! Obviously you did choke him long enough for him to die!
Ever heard that time allows or speeds up during extreme circumstances?
Unless the man died from something other than strangulation. In other words, has a heart condition been ruled out? Fatal drug use? Enough information isn't being released here.
And you are army trained ..he knows how much pressure to apply in that type of choke hold ..that was deadly ..and he said he did it for multiple stops..
He was saying he applied more force based on the guys struggles. Sounds to me like the guy was fighting to breathe.
When you're being choked to death, I think the normal reaction to do is to fight to breathe..
NOT GUILTY! Justice is served the right way in this case and those New Yorkers protesting “no justice no peace” as we speak, need their heads examined. Had he been found guilty, we would see a LOT LESS men defending those that can’t defend themselves and that’s a fact!
For the family protesting the just verdict, where were they when he was homeless and on drugs?
It’s okay you’re a hero. You did the right thing.
The sad part is, the Marine won’t get a street named after him, but the guy who had 40+ arrest will.
Is it ok to talk about how you killed a man that freely in the US ? In my country there is a thin line between standing still and choking someone to death.
God protect this man!❤
... he'll be fine in prison. He has that chokehold to defend himself with.
that will hang him for sure, good job

he's gonna have to stay strong mentally to deal with his very likely prison sentence.
You, sir, are the kind of person we need- who steps in to help others under threat of harm. Free Penny.
He is a hero and it’s BS that a crazy man who had been arrested over 44 times and had a warrant out for his arrest for a brutal assault of an old woman
You’re so a hero!!!
I saw a video of a guy grabbing a girl by the hair on a New York subway and threatening her. Many passengers just sat their and ignored the girl's cries for help as the guy just kept terrorizing her in front of everyone.
This case is exactly the reason why no one did anything.
You guys voted in these guys, you guys deal with it now.
That coward Neeley prefers to fight old women but couldn't handle a real man. RIP COWARD.
The problem is a threat, vs a physical assault are two different things! Did Mr. Nealy have a weapon? As a born bred New Yorker, it is annoying that the mental health system has failed and because of that there are a lot of chronic mentally ill people in the city who many happen to be homeless. I have felt safe on the trains or in the street because of homeless mentally illness Individuals that they are often unkept, and sometimes have been harassing people for money. I have been verbally assaulted often, however that man did not have the right to take Mr. Nealy’s life and it was not his place to take care of the homelessness problem in this city. The city failed Mr. Nealy but Penny killed that man and he didn’t have to die. PeriodT!
If there’s not a “FULL” video of the chokehold from start to finish, we’ll never know the truth, other than witness testimony, and the autopsy….He may have needed to act and restrain the belligerent man, but at what point does the restraint lead to death, due to over exertion of the restraint?…..Being a trained marine, he should understand when a person is limp (incapacitated), and should let go.
When the guy is high
