u/AnakinSkycocker5726 Facts don’t care about your feelings 24d ago

Jordan Neely was a vicious, evil man who prayed on the vulnerable. He punched an elderly woman in the face and fractured the orbit of her eye. Then he got on a subway and threatened to kill women and children. The City of New York had ample opportunity to institutionalize this man. They didn’t, and he threatened people and might have killed someone too.

Daniel Penny was a hero. Am I glad Jordan Neely is dead? No. Id rather him be in prison. But I have zero sympathy for him or his family (who failed to help him and seek to profit from his death). The world is safer without him on the streets. He was not a victim. He was a criminal

He punched an elderly woman in the face and fractured the orbit of her eye.

Seems like he should be in jail, not dead.

Then he got on a subway and threatened to kill women and children.

Threats of violence do not warrant death where I come from. Only action. But maybe you think words warrant a death sentence.

The City of New York had ample opportunity to institutionalize this man.

Agreed, seems like a failure.

might have killed someone too.

"Might" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

Am I glad Jordan Neely is dead? No.

Doesn't seem like it.

who failed to help him

How do you know this? Have you ever had to deal with mental illness and addiction before? It's not easy.

The world is safer without him on the streets.

The world is less safe now that vigilante justice was just given a green light.

He was a criminal

This does not warrant death.

I am certain you have this same sentiment for Brian Thompson.

I said I’d rather him be in jail. And yes threatening people’s lives is assault and can be charged as making terrorist threats. Multiple people testified that they were in fear of Neely. It’s clear that Penny wasn’t trying to kill him. He clearly did it on accident. He certainly doesn’t deserve to be prosecuted for it. And the jury agreed.

And no Brian Thompson did not deserve to be killed in the street by a shooter who targeted him. He wasn’t threatening anyone’s lives. He was a law abiding citizen, unlike Neely. What a stupid and false comparison.

You seem to be under the impression that people who politically agree with you deserve to live and people who disagree deserve to die. You are a despicable human being, and a perfect illustration of why the left is evil.

Next time you run a stop sign and put peoples lives at risk, you should be strangled.

How is a minor traffic violation the same as getting on a subway car full of people and threatening to kill everyone?
