It’s deja vu all over again. A man is dead in the subway system of New York City and the responses were all too predictable. Jordan Neely, a sometimes Michael Jackson street impersonator, died after being put in a chokehold by an ex-Marine, Daniel Penny. The NY Times and the Washington Post seized upon it to rebrand the dead man into a totally innocent victim, with the Post even raising the specter of racism. “Senior prosecutors” are looking into the death (which means, as this is Alvin Bragg’s turf, you can bet Penny will be charged with murder and as a hate crime). Neely was harassing subway riders when he was put into the chokehold.
There were the inevitable protests which made NYC look as though it has descended into total anarchy.

Want to see what NYC cops have to deal with?
This is exactly what we, as cops who are Black, go through when dealing with BLM and the other supposedly “pro-Black” groups.
We get it twice as rough as the other cops. According to BLM, we’re supposed to be on their side (even though a lot of Black cops I talk to are very… https://t.co/7SM14SJREy

Watch as the cops here are provoked by the so-called caring “protesters”
The initial moments when protesters disrupted NYC subways, holding doors before jumping onto the tracks and all chaos broke out.

The protesters profess that their concern is all Jordan Neely.
It’s not. It’s all about them.
Jordan Neely was just an excuse to riot and vandalize. None of them cared one iota about Jordan Neely before this happened. Not one.
Jordan Neely had a length criminal record dating back to 2013.
A New York City police spokesperson told Newsweek that Neely’s record has 42 prior arrests, dating between 2013 and 2021. They include four for alleged assault, while others involved accusations of transit fraud and criminal trespass. At the time of his death, Neely had one active warrant for an alleged assault in connection with a 2021 incident.

On Reddit one commenter claimed that Neely tried to shove him onto the subway tracks the day before he was killed. Neely clearly was dangerous.
As the death of #JordanNeely has gone viral due to leftist & BLM misinformation, more New Yorkers are speaking out about their experiences with the dangerous man. One person says Neely tried to push them into the train tracks at the Broadway-Lafayette station. Neely had an arrest… pic.twitter.com/PPNTGY4iUo

None of this means Neely deserved to die. According to his aunt he was a schizophrenic and didn’t get the medical attention he needed. Why did he not get that treatment? Because Bill DeBlasio and his wife made the money for it disappear.
Bill de Blasio’s wife Chirlane McCray cannot explain where $850 million given to the mental health program she champions has gone, according to reports.
In the three years it has been running, organizers at ThriveNYC have largely failed to keep records of the initiative’s achievements – and data that has been collected shows it lagging well behind targets.
Despite that, the program has been granted an even bigger budget going forward and is now on track to spend $1billion over five years.
And then there is the issue of police. Had there been a police presence on the subway system this may have been avoided. Three years ago NYC cut $1 billion from the NYPD.
If there is a trial, The Diblasios and the city itself should be among of the defendants.
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 30 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 30 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter on her way into the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
