A lot going on, but no one has posted about this man. It would seem he has a long history of mental illness and homelessness, and of course, it was left untreated for over a decade it seems. Needless to say, the State of NY massively failed this man.



On the 1st, Neely was reported to have said he was hungry and ready to die after getting on the Subway. It's reported that Neely began pacing and having a mental health crisis, yelling in an aggressive manner. Some claim there were threats, and some claim he simply yelled that he lacked food and water, but was acting aggressive. A former Marine, in an "attempt to subdue" Held Neely in a Chokehold for roughly 15 minutes, as two others held Neely's arms.

Neely would later die at the Hospital, and his death has been ruled a Homicide. So far, the Man who killed Neely has not been charged. Through his lawyer, The man who choked Neely, identified as Daniel Penny, claims he did not wish to Harm Neely, only restrain him, and could not have predicted his untimely death.


What do you all think? I tried to summarize what took place with as little bias as possible.

buddy was a marine, undoubtedly trained in both lethal and non-lethal force, who used their deadly knowledge on a mentally ill impoverished civilian and murdered them in board daylight

rightists want murder to be legal in america

Instead of offering help to people with mental health problems, they prefer to let them suffer on the streets, and of course let them be killed by a civilian that hass some super hero complex, if they freak out one time.

Not that the liberal leadership addresses any of the issues regarding homelessness and mental health issues, but the Republicans are the ones that double down on the killing.

It's morally bankrupt.

106Billion(Billion with a B) budget, and the city can't even feed the homeless

This is in New York. Republicans have not been in power there for ages.

he wasn't talking about "republicans in power", he was talking about the teeming cesspool of rightwing online commentators frothing at the mouth in support of yet another senseless murder

The day before a homeless man went on a scary rant on the subway that ultimately resulted in his death, he nearly pushed someone to the tracks at the same station, according to a Reddit user who posted about the incident.
Jordan Neely was allegedly hanging around the Broadway-Lafayette station in Lower Manhattan Sunday night, the person wrote on Reddit.

“This man jumped on me, grabbed my shoulders, and pushed me towards the tracks Sunday night at this very station,” a Reddit user posted Wednesday.
They declined to discuss the terrifying incident further. “I was able to run away but he got physical and chased other people standing on the platform before getting on an uptown train.”


Law enforcement sources said Neely had “numerous” arrests on his record, including for drugs, disorderly conduct, and fare beating.
At the time of his death, Neely had a warrant out for his arrest for a November 2021 case in which he was accused of assaulting a 67-year-old woman in the East Village, the sources said.

Doesn't matter if they've got a criminal record lol, you still can't choke people to death.

having warrants and prior convictions and jumping the turnstile and all that shit doesn't mean you can be killed with impunity

rightists want murder to be legal.

Can't stop those people. Some just love the idea of others dying.

Republicans aside, they are powerless in NY. And this has been going on for years. NY utterly failed this man. How they let this poor guy go so long without any help or treatment is just appalling.

I hope they give him years in prison. You don't get to kill people because some crazy homeless person is threatening people on a New York train.

this seems like a good time to note that the proposed 2024 military budget is $842 billion and the HUD estimates that ending homelessness in America would cost $20 billion

Wrong let's call this out. Zicky is right. This is a failure on the Democrats once again.

This is all on the liberal New York leaders. They blamed him for his death. From Adam's to Hochul.

This is on the liberals they are on the same team when it comes to us. Nothing will happen to this Marine unless the city burns. Also the 2 other individuals need to be charged as well.

Our Military budget has been hyper inflated forever now. And it's a massive failure on all of our parts. And we can't seem to vote anything in.

2016 to 2024 has been a shit show. a horrible shit show, as things have gotten progressively worse. And what are the options to lead us into 2024 and beyond? THAT SAME DAMN SHIT.

a lot of people in both parties seem to take "let's trim the military budget by 0.5%" as "YOU HATE OUR TROOPS AND WANT OUR CHILDREN TO SPEAK CHINESE"

Several food pantries are about 20 to 30 mins away from Broadway-Lafayette station.

Oh you're correct on that. The marine was questioned and let go. The police? They didn't care. Hell, to them, the marine just did their job for them. No biggie.

The only reason there's even any consideration of a charge is because the public outcry. It's kind of (not kind of at all, just massively) f**ked up that for NY to even do the bare minimum of arresting a guy for killing another, accident or not, there's is usually a trial, takes a massive nationwide public outcry.

I don't know how much more of a failure you can get than this. They didn't protect this man. They did not give this man a home. They didn't give him food. They didn't even give him Water. In what is considered one of the biggest, richest places in the world. They let his mental illness run rampant for YEARS. And now that he has been killed, they didn't even arrest the dude who killed him. I don't know what can be done to fix that f**ked up of a situation.

Generally, the Mentally ill don't know how to properly take care of themselves.

Well, they need to wake the f**k up. We aren't at War. No matter how bad our Government seems to want to be at war. Cutting the damn budget would help us care for our own.

On the left, you have people characterizing a 30 year old violent career criminal (40 plus priors including kidnapping, assault) with an active warrant out for felony assault as an innocent child.
