BLM is following a business model where victimhood is the product while outrage is the marketing strategy. This was pioneered by veteran race hustler Al Sharpton.
During his heyday, Sharpton made appearances following an incident where there were racial implications to make inflammatory speeches. Once they poured petrol into the fire he just flew out of the place and used it to raise funds for ‘charity’.
Sharpton seems to have mostly used his charity to enrich himself and his family. Sharpton was also a tax dodger; in 2016, he personally owed over $3 million in federal taxes.
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
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.
Anyone who knows will tell you applying a real choke hold is complex -- you have to wrap the neck then create leverage with an opposing forearm to constrict the neck so that the circulation--not the breathing, is obstructed. A choke hold is not about breathing, it is about blood circulation.
I looked at the blurred video and could not find the proper elements of a "Choke Hold," just what Ms. Feldman properly described as a head lock.

This returns us to the media generated and medically reinforced idea that when you wrap your arm around a person's neck it's a "choke hold" that is to be condemned. The same nonsense occurred in the case of Eric Garner, who succumbed at a time distinctly separated from the time when he was restrained and arrest, after being placed in an ambulance, talking to the ambulance attendant.
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?
I have already elaborately explained here at American Thinker that George Floyd was not murdered, thathe died of a cardiac arrest while he was resisting arrest and agitated. He had terrible heart disease and was intoxicated with a stimulant, methamphetamine, and fentanyl his favorite drug of abuse. With these drugs, he was a set up for cardiac arrythmia when he resisted arrest. He wasn't asphyxiated by the standard restraint hold applied by Officer Chauvin, he was killed by his bad heart (three vessel disease and hypertensive cardiomyopathy) and his excitement.
To proceed, the information now available is that Mr. Neely was conscious and talking at the scene after he had been restrained and then collapsed and died. He wasn't lynched, he died because he was juiced up and excited and he got restrained by a Marine who knew how to take down a perp.
Well let's discuss that sequence in the realities of medicine. A sudden death is the stoppage of cardiac activity, not the gradual death of asphyxiation. Mr. Neely, Mr. Garner, another "I can't breathe" case in Staten Island a few years ago, and Saint George Floyd in Minneapolis, were not murdered by the people who restrained them, they died of a cardiac arrhythmia (heart beat problem) because they were agitated, exerting themselves and for various reasons were at risk for a sudden heart rhythm problem. Cardiac rhythm problems kill people all the time--sudden death while exerting/excited, sometimes for no reason whatever.
George Floyd was not murdered, nor was Mr. Neely. Death in the circumstances of an arrest or detention or restraint. Foreseeable? Well you could say that every arrest of a doped up agitated jackass creates the possibility of a cardiac arrest and death. Every time a police officer or a citizen lays a hand on a perp there is a risk of a death--people die just because they have a cardiac arrest for excitement.
A final thought. If you think physicians in official positions were treacherous in their failure to inform the public on COVID, imagine how Medical Examiners, charged with determining cause of death might be corrupted by racial politics and leftist politics when asked to determine cause of death when the dead person is a member some "oppressed" racial or ethnic group and the accused is a white boy?
UPDATE from Andrea Widburg: I agree completely with what John wrote about choke holds, and I have nine years of MMA experience to back me up. I'll just add that it is possible to use a hold to kill someone by cutting off the blood supply to the brain, but that's clearly not what happened here. As the video shows, Neely was conscious after he was put in the recovery position.
John Dale Dunn MD JD is an emergency physician for more than 40 years and wrestled in high school, and for many years he was Medical Officer for 4 sheriffs of Brown County Texas.
An Ex-Marine Stood Up to a Subway Monster. Now He May Go To Jail
New York Dems rally for Jordan Neely, who attacked a 67-year-old woman and a 7-year-old girl.
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.

WATCH — Protesters Flood NYC Subway After Jordan Neely Death: ‘No Justice, No Peace!’
Protesters swarmed New York City on Saturday in the wake of a homeless man’s death and demanded the abolishment of police.
Thirty-year-old Jordan Neely was allegedly choked to death by a Marine veteran on Monday, according to Fox News.
The demonstrators flooded the 63rd Street-Lexington Avenue subway station, and many of them climbed down onto the tracks while chanting “No justice, no peace” and “abolish the police.”
The homeless man died after he was put in a chokehold for several minutes, according to Breitbart News.
Neely had allegedly been acting erratically. According to police, he had a history of mental health problems along with arrests for assault and disorderly conduct.
However, Neely had reportedly not attacked anyone nearby before the incident happened.
According to the Breitbart News article:
The footage shows two other passengers constraining Neely, who was flailing his arms. After Neely stopped moving, the passengers continued to hold him for an additional 50 seconds. During that time one of the men, who looked to be holding Neely’s arms, said the other passenger was “not squeezing no more.”
The young man involved was taken into custody but eventually released. A medical examiner later deemed Neely’s death a homicide.
The Manhattan DA’s office said it will investigate but did not indicate whether it will file charges against the man involved.
Meanwhile, Fox News identified the man as 24-year-old Marine veteran and college student Daniel James Penny whose lawyers said he “never intended to harm Mr. Neely and could not have foreseen his untimely death.”
“When Mr. Neely began aggressively threatening Daniel Penny and the other passengers, Daniel, with the help of others, acted to protect themselves, until help arrived,” claimed the attorneys with Raiser & Kenniff.
A march for Neely was apparently held Friday in New York City, according to images shared online:
