The media is full of pictures of Jordan Neely performing as a Michael Jackson impersonator.
None show him punching a 67-year-old woman in the face as she was leaving a subway station. The vicious thug broke her nose, fractured her orbital bone, and fell leading to “substantial pain to the back of her head.”
That’s the felony assault case that Neely was still wanted on a year and a half later when he began terrorizing passengers on a subway train in downtown Manhattan.
The videos of him moonwalking in the subway don’t show the time he was arrested for attempted kidnapping after he was seen dragging a 7-year-old girl down the street.
He got off with only 4 months in jail.
They also don’t show any of his over 40 other arrests or the time he threatened to kill his grandfather.
A neighbor told reporters, “They wouldn’t let him inside sometimes at night because they were afraid of him.”
“Jordan Neely was murdered,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez tweeted. “Any possible mental health challenges that Jordan may have been experiencing were no reason for his life to be taken,” Council Speaker Adrienne Adams, a pro-crime activist, argued.
“We cannot end up back to a place where vigilantism is tolerable,” Rev. Al Sharpton warned, recalling another subway hero, Bernhard Goetz, who stood up to thugs trying to mug him.
What happened was that Jordan Neely was attacking and threatening passengers. Five subway riders, in a notoriously thick-skinned city of commuters, called 911 and reported the situation.
A caller told the NYPD that Neeley was “attacking people”.
“I don’t mind going to jail and getting life in prison. I’m ready to die,” Neely screamed. “I’ll hurt anyone on this train.”
An ex-Marine from Queens, a decorated sergeant, got up and put the subway monster in a loose chokehold. The Marine, as politicians and the media have repeatedly told us, is white. Another man, a black man, as politicians and the media have declined to tell us, held him down and kept his arms in check.
While Neely struggled and fought, and the men who stood up to protect the women and children on the subway train from a monster who had a history of attacking elderly women and young girls, he eventually died. Had Neely been less determined to hurt passengers on the train, usually the most vulnerable ones, he would have lived, but he was too full of rage and hate.
The ex-Marine was taken into custody but then released even as pro-crime Democrats, eager to have their next George Floyd and the impetus for nationwide race riots, tried to lynch him.
Speaker Adrienne Adams claimed that the absence of immediate criminal charges against the subway hero, “puts on display for the world the double standards that black people and other people of color continue to face. Everyone in our city and nation should be reflecting on what this incident represents and says about us.”
What it says is that racist pro-crime politicians like Adrienne Adams and prosecutors like DA Alvin Bragg have turned New York City into a war zone in which criminals freely terrorize people with no consequences and the only ones who have to worry about charges are the ordinary heroes who stand up to them.
In the aftermath of Neely’s deaths, New York politicians demonstrated that their sympathies are with the criminals, not their victims.
“I saw Jordan Neely perform his Michael Jackson routine many times on the A train. He always made people smile,” Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine tweeted.
Was the 67-year-old woman smiling when Neely punched her in the face? What about the young girl he was dragging down the street during his attempted kidnapping?
Does Levine smile when he thinks about what happened to them?
“NYC is not Gotham. We must not become a city where a mentally ill human being can be choked to death by a vigilante without consequence. Or where the killer is justified & cheered,” Comptroller Brad Lander whined. New York is not Gotham. That fictional city had Batman while the broken city it’s based on occasionally has a few good men who risk their lives.
And they get repaid for it with social justice lynch mobs.
“Just looking at that video, you know its wrong, no one has the right to take the life of another person,” Gov. Hochul, whose opposition to bail has filled the streets with violent criminals, said.
The reason that the government has a monopoly on violence is because it’s supposed to enforce the law and keep the peace. When blue states and cities like New York stop doing that, they leave people with no choice except to defend themselves and others however they can.
The ex-Marine and other men on that train stood up for the women and girls to whom Neely posed a threat. They did what none of the politicians like Gov. Hochul, who claims to be a feminist, Borough President Mark Levine, Council Speaker Adrienne Adams, Comptroller Brad Lander, never mind AOC, were willing to do. And they may well pay the price for it.
Black Lives Matter and Pro-Crime Democrats are trying to make Neely the next George Floyd.
DA Alvin Bragg had tried to charge Jose Alba, a 51-year-old grocery worker who fought back against a thug, and a garage worker who was shot twice before taking the gun away and turning it on his attacker, before public outrage forced him to drop the charges. But those men were minorities whereas the ex-Marine, as the media hatefully reminds us, is white. And fair game.
Jose wasn’t going to revive Black Lives Matter and its nationwide race riots before the next election, a white ex-Marine from Trump’s borough may be just what the community organizer ordered. Neely’s death has already become a national story as the media has its fingers crossed for another round of “mostly peaceful” race riots that will burn cities to the ground.
Just as the woman whom George Floyd robbed at gunpoint never made it to all the “I Can’t Breathe” posters, the 67-year-old woman whom Jordan Neely punched and the young girl he tried to kidnap won’t show up. Some lives matter and some don’t. Those of serial predators who unironically impersonate another serial predator and rack up over 40 arrests matter.
And those of their victims never do.
Pro-Crime Democrats have turned cities into violent hellholes where the police are useless, the prosecutors do nothing and the prisons are revolving doors for the worst monsters around.
And yet there are still a few men willing to stand up to the monsters. Until they’re thrown in jail.
The race pimps are repeating the fake news usage of the word vigilante to refer to the Marine (they say there are no ex-Marines) involved in the death of this thug. It is not a vigilante act to engage in self defense or the defense of others on the spot. It should be noted that the previous victims of Neely will not recover fully and are likely to have shortened lives, as many elderly victims do.
FYI
A former Marine is honorably discharged.
An ex-Marine is one who is dishonorably discharged, or other than honorably discharged – like that activist low-life Nathan Phillips who started some BS with Nick Sandmann.
The best thing people should consider is to discontinue buying their local newspapers when they will not report all the facts. That goes for TV news programs as well. I’m saving a lot of money that way.
I understand that was not a chokehold. You can see the arm is carefully positioned not to press on the windpipe, but to put pressure on both carotid arteries. Diminished blood flow to the brain weakens the resistance. And he was right, it usually takes little time to recover.
I’m sure the Marine was trained to do exactly as he did. Time only will tell what was in that thug’s system. His history is not that of a fine upstanding citizen who makes his mother proud.
Thanks Daniel, excellent article.
Another reason to avoid psychos, rather than confront them.
As a US Marine veteran I can say definitely that there is no such thing as an “ex-Marine.” Especially one that is brave enough to stand up for the rights of others.
I am certain that he did not intend to kill the person but only disable this man. Intention should be the determining factor for criminal charges.
NYC and their Democrats have all of the wrong values by putting criminals ahead of victims.
If one is dishonorably, or other than honorably discharged, he is considered an “ex-Marine” such as that activist prick Nathan Phillips who started trouble with Nick Sandmann.
The first video I saw of it, he was telling one of the others that the guy would be fine in a few minutes. He clearly didn’t realize the guy was too far gone.
Of course the lapdog press is showing favorable video footage of that POS Neely . . . just like when they showed a picture of Travon Martin when he was a cute 10 year old child, instead of a current picture displaying what Travon actually was – a scumbag street-thug.
What’s with leftist idiots always making icons out of low-life street-trash!?? The emotional fools can find at least one decent person/martyr in their ranks to elevate? (••Correct answer•• Of course not. Leftist despise upstanding citizens & have no tolerance for them.)
“Who killed Jordan Neely?” Easy answer . . .
Jordan Neely killed Jordan Neely, just like George Floyd killed George Floyd (by overdosing on fentanyl).
Instead of AOC & these other dumbshits running around in an emotional froth, maybe they should pretend they’re adults and wait for the autopsy. (We’re only told to avoid a “rush to judgement”, when it’s Slick Willie – who was guilty as hell.)
Good point, Jordan might also have had fentanyl in his system, or some other drug making him crazy.
Literary trivia: Bruce Wayne/Batman’s “Gotham” was named after a town in England where, according to English folklore, the fools lived, the people who tried to rale the moon’s reflection out of the pomd
Remove the police from the streets and the inevitable consequence is vigilante justice.
Same is happening here in the UK, we haven’t had any White vigilante killings but I know of several beatings of people that have happened and the police “back off” until the fighting drops and then they wade in like the gestapo would have done.
Thanks Mo, that’s a good sign that society is getting out of control, when the police are afraid to move in, until the fighting has dropped off.
The thug asked for this and got what he deserved.
I grew up knowing that if people can’t behave civilly
and the law doesn’t protect the innocent than it’s up too
the people to hand out justice.
That’s why the Mafia was important to have in the good old days.
Mentally I’ll people should be treated and medicated and not acting out their fantasies of life in front of normal people
Or they should be institutionalized. And the performer he copied should have been too, a child molester with an obsession for skin bleaches and plastic surgery to make himself look Caucasian.
I saw the moon walk video, and figured I’d just wait, for one of the Front Page authors opinion pieces to get the facts.
The theme song for today’s Democrats should be Sympathy for the Devil and especially the line where “every cop is a criminal and all the sinners saints. Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name”.
I kept waiting for a politician, just one politician, to say that people have a right to self-defense and to defend the innocent. Many have said “let’s wait for the investigation” but add something to the effect that “he shouldn’t have died.” No one said “they shouldn’t have to defend themselves to feel safe on the subway.”
The political class is fanning the flames of the Lynch mob. Now the mob is taking over the subways and stopping trains. Next they’ll be pulling people from their cars.
Depriving the law-abiding public of some of their mobility.
Sure. First they take away our cars and put us on public transport, and then we’re fair game for their pet criminals.
If an unruly mob of street-trash try to pull from my truck, I’ll use their heads as speed bumps . . .
Then I’ll park & pull out the high-capacity 12 gauge bullpup, and use my imagination. 🍻🤘
The enemies of divine morality (I don’t mean the self serving personal agenda kind) are now seemingly in total control of what used to be the system of “truth, justice and the American way”.
After decades in the shadows, they now, clearly emboldened, have set in motion with amazing transparency of intent, the cultivation of a sociopathic mindset in America.
These appointed and elected(!!) “party members” are making this dream come true: anoint terrorists as the victims and dehumanate the brave righteous protectors of the terrorized as the murderers.
It would be great to be able to start the trials of the guilty now – before, not after, the destruction and massacre they so obviously want.
I rode the D.C. Metro for years. A number of times you had lunatics go off for one reason or another. Usually they would start out somewhat normal but were obviously mentally disturbed and people would start moving away. This seemed to get them more agitated and they’d start yelling, making threats and approaching individuals. And there you are, trapped in an underground tunnel in a moving subway train, not knowing whether or when this disturbed person is going to pull out a gun or machete. It is a truly terrifying experience no one should have to put up with. Neely got what he deserved. God bless that Marine. They should give him a medal.
Hear, hear! 🍻
All these leftist pricks who are crying over this POS should be forced to domicile a few vagrants in their homes.
Hopefully, more than a few of these apparatchiks would get a taste of what they deserve.
Yes, but the elites are just dying to pull us out of our cars and make us take public transportation. Won’t it be nice when we all have to? So comradely, so friendly, so compassionate to the disadvantaged, so good for the earth…
Haven’t we seen this movie before? Yeah, this is the sequel. Guess what the title is.
Plan 9 from Outer Space?
The beautiful Pamela Geller would plaster posters all over city buses and subways showing innocent victims of muslim violence. The brave, truth-telling Colin Flaherty once stopped a busy highway (with police help!) to display the faces and names of innocent victims of black-on-white violence: “Say Their Names!”
The same needs to be done in New York.
AOC, Hochul, A. Adams, Levine, Bragg, and all the rest of the elected (!) rabble ignore a fundamental precept of our Constitution, which is the presumption of innocence. This is nothing short of an outrage. And the repellent, race- baiting Sharpton, who ruined the life of Steven Pagones, falsely accusing him of rape, and who was responsible for the deaths of several employees at Freddy’s Discount Mart in Harlem and who incited the murder of a Chassidic Jew, should be fired immediately by MSNBC for this latest outrage, even though he was undoubtedly hired there because he was a racial arsonist.
He should have been in jail years ago. That a creep like that is free and even lionized tells one that the world is turned upside down.
And he looks like the Crypt Keeper, as do many of his political ilk.
And meanwhile the Democrats vote to pass more useless Gun Control Laws so they can get on the front pages of the NYT’s and on the fake morning news programs
Now we know that after he was restrained Mr. Neely was alive and able to talk, so Mr. Penny didn’t kill him. So you might inquire why is Penny being accused of homicide? Coukd it be racial politics?
‘Homicide’ is the wrong cause of death for subway assailant Jordan Neely
By John Dale Dunn, M.D.
Clarice Feldman properly described the “head lock” that Marine Daniel Penny put on rampaging subway passenger Jordan Neely and distinguished it from a “CHOKE HOLD” as the media have sometimes portrayed it her essay published Sunday on American Thinker.
Imagine how much cleaner and safer the NYC subway would be if NYC politicians, bureaucrats, and workers were all forced to ride it to work every day. They’d save a lot on city fleet vehicles as well. If they were really serious about everyone riding public transit to save the planet, they’d be leading by example.
Hear, hear! 🍻
(I couldn’t have said it better.)
Society has been rid of yet another angry raging maniac. Leave it to democrat race-hucksters to foment more division and violence. The ex-Marine deserves a medal and notable positive recognition from the state “Governor.”
These democrat hate-mongers are DISGUSTING !
Let me picture this exact same scene only its a white crazy thug on the ground and a black guy choking him while another white guy helps the black guy doing the choking.
Can I hear a shout out from CNN ?.
Al and Jesse and Adams and AOC are sure gonna use this scene as their go-too racism crap.
Who would defend a known criminal who intends to hurt innocents? There is a group of people who are trying to make everyone defenseless. Who are these people who are stirring up the s##t? Let’s call them sh#t stirrers. They are unemployed instigators powered by raw racism with the goal of disrupting people who want to be left alone.
Now they are attacking an honorable man who was trained to defend others. I am afraid that he is the only honorable man in this scenario.
Their goal is to make us hesitant to defend ourselves. Won’t work. Nice try Marxists.
The Stupid Jackass Party(Liberal Democrat)wants to make it a Crime to stop home invaders from ransacking and looting your home they want us to copy the same mistake the UK has done
So if the Marine was black and the crazy dude was white would Al Sharpton come out of his Mansion to scream his usual BS.
If black folks in the USA want to be treated like everybody else then THIS is what equal treatment looks like, a real gentleman coming to the defense of women on the NYC Subway System.
