I'm not sure how many of you guys have followed this, but Daniel Penny is an ex-marine who was on a NY subway in May of 2023. A homeless man (Jordan Neely) got on the train and was rambling about killing everyone and ended up next to a woman with a baby in the stroller. This where it's a bit subjective as the defense says the man was threatening to other passengers (including the woman) while the prosecution disputes this. Penny then gets the man in a chokehold and knocks him unconscious. Neely (the victim) eventually dies later.

It's been a pretty interesting case - one of the main reasons it has gotten national attention is because Penny is white and Neely is black. I'm not sure how I feel about this after looking at everything. I definitely think Penny held on to the choke too long and could have released earlier. I also think the police could have done more to resuscitate Neely, but they said he was "very dirty" and they were worried about getting hepatitis as he had signs of drug use.

I'd be interested in what this forum thinks as we have had pretty long discussions on other similar cases. And if this has been posted before, feel free to merge this into that thread (I couldn't find one).
