Jordan Neely is the deranged homeless man, with a history of untreated mental illness, who recently died on the New York City subway system while being restrained by other passengers, including good Samaritan Daniel Penny.
Marine veteran Daniel Penny, 25, stepped up to restrain Neely after he threatened passengers while shouting that he was “ready to die.”
Corrupt Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg determined the manner of Neely’s death to be a homicide.
Neely has been arrested numerous times and has a reputation for causing disturbances; he once pleaded guilty to attempted kidnapping when he was caught dragging a 7-year-old girl down a street.
The incident would never have happened if NYC officials didn’t repeatedly set Neely free, allowing him to beat people, threaten people, attempt to kidnap children, and abuse drugs.
Corrupt NYC officials want to throw the book at Neely, who acted in self-defense and the defense of other innocent passengers, and they are painting Neely as a saint.
The New York Daily News reported:
Neely was arrested 42 times across the last decade, with his most recent bust in November 2021 for slugging a 67-year-old female stranger in the face as she exited a subway station in the East Village, cops said.
The senior citizen suffered a broken nose and fractured orbital bone when she was knocked to the sidewalk, along with swelling and “substantial” head pain after hitting the ground.
Neely eventually pleaded to felony assault and received 15 months in an alternative-to-incarceration program that, if completed, would have allowed him to plead to misdemeanor assault and get a conditional discharge.
But a warrant was issued for his arrest on Feb. 23, when he skipped a court compliance court date where a judge was to be updated on whether he was meeting all the requirements of the program.
On June 27, 2019, Neely was arrested for punching a 64-year-old man in the face during a fight in a Greenwich Village subway station, cops said.
And he was busted in August 2015 for attempted kidnapping after he was seen dragging a 7-year-old girl down an Inwood street. He pled guilty to endangering the welfare of a child and was sentenced to four months in jail.
Andy Ngo found a Reddit post from nine years ago, which appears to be from a person who knew of Neely and warned people to avoid him, saying he had become a maniac.
From the post (excerpt):
Used to be all cool, dancing to MJ in the subway train, but as of late he’s become a maniac.
Sometime in late Spring/early Summer I saw him in the train, his radio fucked up and he was angry as fuck, cursing and badmouthing commuters screaming “What the fuck are you looking at? Don’t fucking look at me!
Ever since that day he’s just been a scary dude to me.
According to Ngo, amid misinformation propagated by leftist media and BLM, New Yorkers are speaking out about their experiences with Neely.
Penny was initially released as it was clear he did nothing wrong, but now multiple outlets are reporting that the case is likely headed to a grand jury.
Jordan Neely was no saint, and the left’s outrage is manufactured.
