Three men with Chicago gang affiliations were charged Friday in connection with the fatal shooting of three women in Beverly Hills, California, earlier this year.
Breitbart News reported the three shooting fatalities when they occurred on January 28, 2023, and noted others were injured in the attack. The number of non-fatal injured persons was originally reported at four and later updated to six.
The New York Post noted the three fatalities were 33-year-old Iyana Hutton, 29-year-old Nenah Davis, and 26-year-old Destiny Sims. All three women were from the Chicago area and were shot will sitting in a car near the Beverly Hills’ home they rented for vacation.
On Friday police announced charges against 28-year-old Dejean Thompkins, 22-year-old Dontae Williams, and 28-year-old Daries Stanford, all three of whom are also from the Chicago area.
Thompkins and Williams were arrested in Chicago and Stanford was arrested in New York.
Thompkins is also charged in connection with a December 16, 2022, murder in North Hollywood.
In announcing the charges, LA Police Capt. Jonathan Tippet said, “This callous violent crime resulted in three murder victims and six attempted murder victims. Since this crime occurred, the Los Angeles Police Department’s Robbery/Homicide division Homicide Special Section detective shave worked tirelessly to bring these criminals to justice.”

Every year in America, some 500 whites are murdered by black assailants, more than twice as many as blacks killed by whites. The media need to report all of these cases fairly and without bias so as to counter the false reporting and misplaced emphasis in the national press. All victims, of whatever race, deserve justice because all human life is precious. The reporting of violence should not be based on race — it should be proportionate to the crime, without regard to the race of the perpetrator or the victim. Jeffrey Folks
BLACKS MAKE UP ONLY 8% OF THE POPULATION OF S.F. BUT PERPETRATE MORE THAN 40% OF CRIMES. THOSE STATS ARE DATED. THE CAR BREAK-INS AND MOB LOOTING ARE PERPETRATED BY BLACKS.
The media has omitted the race of the perpetrators, a policy that ironically makes race even more salient. Video footage shows the perpetrators were black. Eyewitness accounts confirm that. And the same tactic and demographic makeup were seen at the Louis Vuitton smash and grab earlier in San Francisco.
Looting for Amusement and Luxury Goods By Abraham H. Miller
Walnut Creek is a quiet exurban town outside of San Francisco. It uncharacteristically made national news over the last few days, and not for anything good. It was the scene of a large-scale smash and grab in the wake of the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict.
Over a dozen vehicles pulled up to the Broadway Plaza shopping mall. Some eighty vandals, some wielding crowbars, ran inside Nordstrom and stole merchandise. Five Nordstrom employees were physically assaulted.
The action was said to be over in less than a minute. With their bounty in hand, estimated at $200,000, the thieves drove off in different directions. Only three were apprehended. Of those, one was illegally carrying a firearm.
The media has omitted the race of the perpetrators, a policy that ironically makes race even more salient. Video footage shows the perpetrators were black. Eyewitness accounts confirm that. And the same tactic and demographic makeup were seen at the Louis Vuitton smash and grab earlier in San Francisco.
The neighborhood blogs are filled with discussions. Liberals predictably claim this is because of the divide between the haves and have nots. Others have opined that it is part of the no justice, no peace result of the Rittenhouse verdict. And, of course, there was the inevitable search for root causes, which are always looked for and never really found, at least not empirically.
The cause few want to talk about is what happened at the same mall during the George Floyd riots, in June of 2020. Then our police and civic leaders decided to have the police stand in place. Macy’s was ransacked by hordes of young people who sometimes fought among themselves because some were perceived to have acquired better loot than others.
In the wake of the George Floyd case, our civic leaders, in their infinite wisdom, decided the optics of arresting young black people would not be good. It would be better to let them sate their appetite for theft. On the way out of the mall area, one vandal shot a firearm into a crowd of shoppers, hitting a young black woman in the arm. The police that were the object of the rioters’ derision were quickly giving her first aid and securing transport to the regional medical center.
So, it is not surprising that our mall was once again targeted. After all, during the first smash and grab at Macy’s, the thieves were not stopped. The police stood there like a bunch of robots whose batteries had gone dead. I doubt the rank and file desired this. This was a decision that most likely came from our cowardly civic leaders, who were more worried about optics than public safety.
New York policing has taught us the virtues of the concept of broken windows. Don’t fix the small things in a neighborhood and soon you have big things with which to deal. Start with the broken windows because societal neglect and crime are intertwined. Show that minor infractions are not going to be tolerated. In New York, dealing with broken windows has put a big damper on crime.
Our civic leaders chose the opposite perspective. Let them run wild. Let them steal. Let them flee without obstruction, and they will simply go away. Of course, the civic leaders didn’t think that they had now provided an open invitation for thieves to return for another round.
We will shortly hear from academic pundits about black rage, a theory that is used to justify all sorts of anti-social and criminal behavior. Stealing Louis Vuitton luxury goods will be justified because of the legacy of slavery and discrimination. Only harebrained academics take such nonsense seriously.
An organized criminal enterprise is not the consequence of episodic rage, but of a purposeful undertaking. And before we get too hung up on the race of the perpetrators, we should consider that a lot of different kinds of people will be buying these luxury goods on social media, knowing they are stolen.
On the streets of San Francisco, a city where shoplifting under $950 is a misdemeanor, street vendors hawk stolen goods in original wrapping, sometimes just yards from the stores from which they were stolen. Walgreens is closing twenty-two stores in San Francisco, and communities are whining about a prescription desert, but not taking social action to prevent the ongoing plague of theft.
We have a criminal underclass in our society, one that festers and then finds excuses to explode. While my white suburban neighbors have had their societal equilibrium disturbed as a result of the violence and chaos at Nordstrom, inner-city minorities deal with these problems every day, and our criminal justice system ignores them.
We are becoming acclimated to violence. Gangs shooting at each other on Interstate 880 and killing a two-year-old is just another day in Oakland. On Route 4, near Oakley, there was gunfire from a housing development at passing vehicles headed west. Our public hospitals are overrun with shooting victims, usually as part of ongoing gang wars.
There is no leadership. But there is hypocrisy. The so-called congressional “Squad” calls for defunding the police but hires private security for its own protection. An open border brings in desperate people without relevant economic skills. How will they survive? The media find both justification and sanctification for the riots it deems politically appropriate: witness Minneapolis, Portland, and Seattle. In so doing, the media provide legitimacy to thuggery.
The separation between the haves and the have nots is really a separation between the elites and the ordinary, hard-working citizens. The elites have joined with the underclass, but in the end, those who rule with an absence of the heart, as Alexis de Tocqueville noted, are to be vanquished in a single historical night. It will not come soon enough.

BLACKS ARE 15xs to 30xs MORE LIKELY TO PERPETRATE VIOLENCE THAN WHITES.
Dr. Williams comments on another reality: that the rate of black homicide and armed robbery as well as other violent crimes are as is as much as 15–30 times more than whites
Blacks are also overrepresented among perpetrators of hate crimes—by 50 percent—according to the most recent Justice Department data from 2017; whites are underrepresented by 24 percent. This is particularly true for anti-gay and anti-Semitic hate crimes.

The New York City subway system is a deadly place. Crimes are disproportionately committed by black men. Passengers take that information with them when they enter the subway. When Neely, as reports indicate, began shouting in an irrational and threatening manner, passengers went into “fight or flight” mode. The three men who restrained Neely worked to keep him immobilized until police arrived.
Cullors’s family and friends reaped benefits too. Financial disclosures released in May 2022 revealed Black Lives Matter paid her brother, Paul Cullors, $840,993 for "professional security services," a sizable sum for the self-taught graffiti artist with no prior experience as a bodyguard. Paul Cullors went on to purchase his own Los Angeles home for $637,000 in December 2020. Black Lives Matter paid $969,459 to an art firm run by the father of Cullors’s only child, Damon Turner. A consulting firm owned by a Black Lives Matter board member Shalomyah Bowers, a close associate of Cullors, received $2,167,894 for providing management services for the charity.
Going For Broke: Black Lives Matter Revenues Dropped 88 Percent in 2022
'This doesn't seem safe for us...this nonprofit system structure,' group's founder says Getty Images
2022 wasn't a very good year for Black Lives Matter.
The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation raised just $9.3 million in the fiscal year ending in June 2022—an 88 percent decrease from the year prior, according to records obtained by the Washington Free Beacon . It’s a staggering decline from Black Lives Matter’s heyday in the summer of 2020, when it parlayed the nationwide unrest that followed George Floyd’s death into an $80 million financial bonanza.
The Black Lives Matter charity used that windfall to accumulate property and spread wealth to leadership while it could. Its founder, Patrisse Cullors, went on a cross-country real estate buying spree, snagging four properties in California and Georgia for a cool $3.2 million. The charity secretly purchased a glitzy $6 million compound in Los Angeles in October 2020 with donor cash, which Cullors used to film videos of herself drinking wine and baking peach cobblers. Not content with its budding American property empire, Black Lives Matter branched out to Canada, granting $8 million to its Canadian affiliate to finance the purchase of a Toronto mansion in July 2021 for $6.3 million.
Cullors’s family and friends reaped benefits too. Financial disclosures released in May 2022 revealed Black Lives Matter paid her brother, Paul Cullors, $840,993 for "professional security services," a sizable sum for the self-taught graffiti artist with no prior experience as a bodyguard. Paul Cullors went on to purchase his own Los Angeles home for $637,000 in December 2020. Black Lives Matter paid $969,459 to an art firm run by the father of Cullors’s only child, Damon Turner. A consulting firm owned by a Black Lives Matter board member Shalomyah Bowers, a close associate of Cullors, received $2,167,894 for providing management services for the charity.
Black Lives Matters’ troubles began when Cullors’s personal real estate purchases surfaced in April 2021. The two activists who were supposed to replace her never took the job . Black Lives Matter fell so far behind in disclosing its finances to the public that several liberal states barred it from raising funds in their jurisdictions in early 2022. The charity voluntarily shut down its ability to raise funds in February 2022 amid the crackdown.
The pressure of having to disclose the self-dealing that went on at Black Lives Matter on watch was almost too much to bear for Cullors. She said during an April 2022 event that she gets "triggered" whenever she hears the term "IRS Form 990," a standard financial disclosure document charities are required to file every year to the public.
"This doesn't seem safe for us, this 990 structure—this nonprofit system structure," Cullors said. "This is, like, deeply unsafe. This is being literally weaponized against us, against the people we work with."
Black Lives Matter’s Form 990 tax return covering its fiscal year starting July 2020 and ending July 2021 was ultimately weaponized, but not by the nefarious right-wing forces Cullors often claims to be persecuted by.
Black Lives Matter Grassroots, a former sister organization of Black Lives Matter, cited the charity’s tax return in a September 2022 lawsuit accusing Bowers, a close associate of Cullors, of using the charity as his "personal piggy bank." The lawsuit alleged Bowers siphoned an additional $10 million in "fees" from Black Lives Matter to his consulting firm on top of the $2,167,894 disclosed in the charity’s Form 990.
Bowers "continued to betray the public trust by self-dealing and breaching his fiduciary duties," BLM Grassroots said in its lawsuit. "His actions have led [Black Lives Matter] into multiple investigations by the Internal Revenue Service and various state attorney generals, blazing a path of irreparable harm to BLM in less than eighteen months."
The Black Lives Matter charity's Form 990 for fiscal year 2022 was due to the IRS on Monday. Black Lives Matter did not respond to the Free Beacon's request for the public document, which it is required by law to provide, and the charity delayed providing a more detailed required financial statement to Florida.

BLACK CRIMES WE'VE ALL WITNESSED:
Or -- here surmised as pastime -- racial injustice legions venture into New York’s subways to terrorize riders or push the unsuspecting onto train tracks. Or… target Asians (usually females and the old) for old-fashioned beatings . And while this mayhem sinks the Rotted Apple into an ever-deeper abyss of crime and dysfunction, Bragg just shrugs. As policy , Bragg shrugs.
Bragg and other Soros-owned big city DAs and elected leaders marching orders have nothing to do with putting hombres behind bars and upholding the highest standards of public safety. They have nothing to do with the canard of “racial justice.” They have to do with the Marxist imperative of destroying to rule over the ruins. Better to rein in Hell than serve in Heaven.
About Asian Americans and immigrants, well, yellow isn’t a color on the “of color” palette. As a rule, Asians just can’t get with the victimology scam. Another rule: Asians dare to be industrious, thrifty, highly disciplined, and very focused.
Go to the takeout around the corner from you. Mr. Yang and his kin are busting tail in the kitchen and at the counter. Mr. Yang’s kids? Sitting at a table cracking schoolbooks. His kids are going to be doctors, lawyers, engineers, and tech entrepreneurs -- and not because of dumbed-downed diversity standards, but because of sweat equity and bona fide achievement.
For the sin of genuine merit -- when will believing in the American Dream be criminalized? -- the Yangs and Asians of all stripes are loathed by the diversity, inclusion, and equity mob, particularly affluent, progressive whites who fear their kids will be outperformed and outcompeted for prized higher education berths.
Asians, in the main, refuse to present themselves as victims. They disrupt the progressive narrative. They unintentionally mock it. Taking control of one’s destiny is verboten. Asians chose to be hardworking achievers, not excuse makers, haters, and shakedown artists. And isn’t that the pith of the diversity, inclusion, and equity racket?
Asians are powerful testaments to merit, while Bragg and other diversity mongers are anything but meritorious. They’re subpar grifters and moochers. So toward Asians, these counterfeits let flow torrents of seething resentment.
For further proof, we need only visit other poxes on the American landscape. Soros buys DAs. He means to add to the stable.
Kim Foxx, Cook County State’s Attorney, holds her office thanks to Boss Soros’ largess. Cook County contains Chicago, which even Al Capone, resurrected, might avoid for fear of being gang jumped.
Back in 2020, Soros kicked a couple of million into a committee backing Foxx’s election. Since Foxx became State’s Attorney, Chicago’s lowlifes have enjoyed an open-ended holiday -- from arrest, indictment, and almost certain conviction.
The Windy City’s “of color” neighborhoods are nightly scenes of melees, as gangbangers compete for turf and use streets for gun battles that put the OK Corral dustup to shame. “Of color” are disproportionately the victims -- including kids and the old.
Reports CBS Chicago , blandly, “Data Show Violent Crime Has Been On The Rise For The Last Three Years.”
Curiosity about the trend is how it lines up with Chicago’s dysfunctional leadership.
The trend roughly tracks Foxx’s tenure and the rein of outgoing Chicago mayor Beetlejuice, aka, Lori Lightfoot, another laughable elected diversity hire who checked three boxes: black, female (alleged), and LGBTQIA+.
This from DC Caller, February 12 :
Prior to Foxx’s election, far fewer criminal cases were dismissed cases in Cook County, according to data posted by the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office. In 2015, 263 weapons charges were dismissed, compared to 1,217 in 2022.
The Cook County Medical Examiner Case Archive registered 619 homicides county wide in 2015, rising to 937 in 2022.
So, why on this side of fabled Cabrini-Green would Foxx’s office post such painfully damning numbers? Perhaps Foxx’s bulb is dimmer than Bragg’s, or in the perverse world of racial justice warriorship, this amounts to bragging rights?
Hanging tough in St. Louis, diversity hire Kim Gardiner, whom Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is sensibly trying to oust . Seems that white racist Bailey has seen enough “of color” St. Louis citizens preyed upon by Gardiner’s malicious policies.
Lest we think diversity hires get all Soros’ favors and fun, Philadelphia district attorney, White Boy Larry Krasner -- brotherly love oozing from his pores -- looses Philly’s criminals on everybody, including “of color” citizens. Ditto L.A. district attorney, White Boy George Gascón .
But back to Bragg. This week, this Einstein and Thomas E. Dewey all rolled into one will have managed to drag an empaneled Grand Jury into indicting Trump on some threadbare, banana republic sham charge or he won’t -- that is, if the Grand Jury acts with uncharacteristic independence.
Or Bragg will reveal himself to have feet of Carvel ice cream. His star witness is none other than Michael Cohen, convicted felon and serial liar. Cohen, in part, was convicted of false statements . A Cohen letter about paying off Stormy Daniels without Trump’s knowledge holds the president blameless of a false charge, anyway. Bragg putting Cohen on the stand knowing Cohen committed perjury should cost Bragg more than losing VIP treatment at Golden Corral; it should cost him his law license.
Should. In New York City, where diversity, inclusion, and equity abound, Bragg is more likely to get off with winks, nods, and a free meal at Gramercy Tavern.

An eyewitness to the fatal chokehold of a homeless man by a Marine Corps veteran aboard a New York City subway said she was thankful the vet intervened.
On May 1, Jordan Neely boarded the northbound F train and started screaming, then threw his jacket on the ground, Breitbart reported .
“I’m sitting on a train reading my book, and, all of a sudden, I hear someone spewing this rhetoric,” the 60-year-old eyewitness told Fox News. “He said, ‘I don’t care if I have to kill an F, I will. I’ll go to jail, I’ll take a bullet.’”
The retiree said passengers were crowding around the exit signs and that they were all “scared for our lives.”
Neely had 42 prior arrests and an active warrant, Newsweek reported . In November 2021, Neely attacked a 67-year-old woman, giving her a black eye and broken nose, Fox News noted.
Marine veteran Daniel Penny brought Neely to the ground and restrained him. Two other passengers helped hold Neely’s limbs down.
When police arrived on the scene, Penny remained, and he voluntarily went to the station for further police questioning.
“Nobody wants to kill anybody. Mr. Penny didn’t want to kill that man,” the witness told Fox News. “You should have seen the way Mr. Penny looked. He was distraught. He was very, very, very visibly distressed. And he didn’t go. He didn’t run. He stayed.”
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg charged the 25-year-old Penny with second degree manslaughter. A day after prosecutors announced the charges against Penny, he turned himself in, NewsNation reported .
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg participates in a news conference in New York, Tuesday, February 7, 2023. (Seth Wenig/AP)
Penny’s legal defense fund has raised more than $2.5 million.
In a Fox News interview , Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley called upon New York governor Kathy Hochul to pardon Penny.
“He saw danger,” Haley said. “He was trying to protect himself and the other people on that subway, and the idea that Bragg would go and indict him this way without an investigation, without any sort of grand jury — Really, what I think needs to happen? The governor needs to pardon Penny.”
On the other hand, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) criticized New York City Mayor Eric Adams for not quickly condemning Penny since “the victim was of a social status some would deem ’too low’ to care about.”

George Soros with his Open Society money plus the Chicago Marxist contingency of Susan Rice, Valerie Jarrett, Penny Pritzker, and Barack Obama are five people I'm inclined to group as the Biden puppet masters. Is there a pecking order among them? Does it matter? I suppose it matters to these individual megalomaniacs, but to anyone else? No. Just get that totalitarian state up and running. Maybe it will matter when all nations are under someone's thumb and one of those thumbs wants to be the one-world Big Thumb. Not to worry — I'm positive the Big Thumb will be chosen by consensus.

He wanted to do the same when a garage security guard wrestled the gun from a robber who shot him and fired back, killing the robber. Recall that, in Canada, Justin Trudeau has successfully eliminated self-defense: George Soros-funded DAs, AGs and secretaries of state were not chosen for their intellectual firepower but for their loyalty Jordan Neely Was on ‘Top 50’ List of at-Risk New York City Homeless People Jordan Neely Was Not a Victim of White Supremacy – Nor of Lack of Services The leftists celebrating Neely wield a weapon that will hurt more like him. Reader Interactions How the Morlocks Seized New York
If, in 1984, an inventive New Yorker set his time travel machine to the year 2023, the city in which he arrived would confound him. Although the New York City of today looks much like that of 1984, our time traveler would have a hard time understanding the people, almost as hard a time as H.G. Wells' s " Time Traveler" did when his machine arrived in the year 802,701.
The public response of the average New Yorker to the arrest of former Marine sergeant Daniel Penny calls to mind the " Eloi" response to Wells' s Traveler. The Eloi were the little, pretty people of the future whom the Time Traveler encountered. "Once the favored aristocracy" says the Traveler, " the Eloi, like the Carolingian kings, had decayed to a mere beautiful futility."
The passivity of the Eloi allowed the subterranean Morlocks, once their servants, to become their masters. " Already the Eloi had begun to learn one old lesson anew," says the Traveler. " They were becoming reacquainted with Fear." Unfortunately for their future, the Eloi had lost their spines. Eloi males no longer had even the instinct to rescue one of their own from peril or to defend themselves from the creeping cannibalism of the Morlocks.
Enter the Time Traveler. Writing the The Time Machine in 1895, Wells endowed his protagonist with those many virtues expected of an Englishman in the age of Victoria and Kipling. Tempted to leave behind the chaos he found in the future, the Traveler feels honor-bound to intervene; to save the Eloi from extinction; and, in the process, to show them how to save themselves.
After serving four years in the Marines, the 24-year-old Daniel Penny arrived in New York City almost as innocent as Wells's hero and likely as brave. " I have always been inspired by the ambition and grit," he posted on social media. " After high school and unsure of my future, I enlisted in the Marine Corps in search of adventure." In the Marines, Sergeant Penny served as squad leader on two deployments.
Unlike most young men of this era, Penny pulled his inspiration from Cervantes's Don Quixote , a novel that at its most literal interpretation would have reinforced his Marine Corps values. As Penny learned during this past week, if not before, his values and those of his fellow New Yorkers were as out of sync as those of Wells's hero and the Eloi.
In subterranean New York, Penny came face to face with a modern Morlock, Jordan Neely by name. Neely had been arrested 42 times in the past 10 years and had a well documented mental health history. The NYPD knew he was dangerous. They had arrested Neely most recently in November 2021 on felony assault charges after he punched a 67-year-old female stranger in the face.
Two years later, Neely was roaming free. After 20 years of good governance, the left took over New York's City Hall with the installation of Bill de Blasio in 2014. Since then, the Morlocks of New York, armies of them, have been emboldened to terrorize the Eloi on the streets and on the subways. Hardly a day passes without some new video surfacing of a Morlock striking or threatening an Eloi while the other Eloi pretend not to see.
It seems somehow appropriate that Neely died on May 1, the ultimate feast day on the revolutionary calendar. Eleven days later, the Morlocks' enablers got their way. Manhattan' s district attorney, Alvin Bragg, feeling the need to sacrifice a white man to the woke gods, charged Penny with manslaughter.
Penny clearly did not intend to kill Neely. He expected to restrain him until the police arrived. I suspect that from what he learned in the Marines and in the books he read, Penny had been trained to intervene when a madman threatens to kill the innocent people around him.
Penny's response was measured. According to witnesses, he did not leap into action until after Neely started issuing death threats. " I would kill a m-----------," said Neely. " I don't care. I'll take a bullet. I'll go to jail." However unintentionally, Penny helped Neely fulfill his death wish.
Penny certainly did not expect to be called a murderer, but he misjudged New York circa 2023. " Jordan Neely was murdered, tweeted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. " While many in power demonize the poor, the murderer gets protected w/ passive headlines + no charges. It' s disgusting."
This was not the New York of 1984. That was the year that the nerdy Bernard Goetz shot four teenage thugs on a New York City subway car. In watching news from that era, I am reminded of just how shabby New York City had become before the 20-year renaissance overseen by Mayors Giuliani and Bloomberg. I am reminded too of just how much New Yorkers have changed over the past 40 years.
Unlike the soft and spineless New Yorkers of today, everyday New Yorkers of 1984 were often bold and outspoken. I would encourage readers to search YouTube for "Bernie Goetz" and watch the news clips from that era. Although the white Goetz shot four black teenagers, New Yorkers, black and white, were not afraid to speak out in Goetz's defense. These were real New Yorkers, toughened by a life riding subways. They cared more about justice than race.
In 2023, radicals have no hesitance about speaking out, but everyday New Yorkers certainly do. Beaten down by years of oppressive political correctness, they come off as feckless as their Wellsian counterparts. That said, I suspect that the great majority of them, certainly the subway riders, are pulling quietly for Penny.
Like the Eloi, they are "becoming reacquainted with Fear." If that fear does not motivate them to champion Daniel Penny and acquit him, the Morlocks will own the city until it dies.

Alvin Bragg attacks self-defense by indicting Daniel Penny for Jordan Neely’s death
Daniel Penny, along with others on a New York subway, used a wrestling hold to subdue Jordan Neely after the latter’ s behavior was “hostile and erratic.” The Democrat narrative is that a white supremacist murdered a Michael Jackson impersonator. Now, Alvin Bragg, Manhattan’s hard-left District Attorney, has indicted Penny for manslaughter. New Yorkers, though, may not take this indictment lying down.
The last time New York City was as violently out of control as today was in the 1970s and early 1980s. That’s why, when Bernhard Goetz, a white subway rider who had previously been violently mugged, pulled out a gun and shot four black teens who were demanding his money, many in New York City supported him. He was their everyman. The jury rejected serious charges against him, finding him guilty of carrying an unlicensed firearm, for which he served only eight months.
Giuliani restored order to New York, and Bloomberg maintained it. Things fell apart again under DeBlasio, a process that accelerated when BLM paralyzed policing. Today, in NYC subways, it’s déjà vu all over again for those who remember the 1970s.

Subway crime goes beyond fare-jumpers, litter, and graffiti. It includes homeless people taking over subway cars and literally befouling them with urine , and crazy people shooting at passengers , pushing them onto the tracks , and otherwise assaulting them .
It was in this context that Neely, a homeless man with a long criminal record, including multiple assault charges , came into contact with Penny. According to witnesses , Neely behaved in a “hostile and erratic manner” and threw trash at people (a form of assault), frightening passengers. That’s why Penny put Neely in a “chokehold,” while two other passengers helped.
For a chokehold, one person puts his arm around another person’s neck to control that person. I’ve had hundreds of chokeholds put on me, and I’ve put hundreds on other people. Nobody choked. If you apply hard pressure the correct way, though, you can either cut off someone’s air supply, suffocating them or the flow of blood to their brain. The moment you remove pressure , the suffocation stops, and the blood flow returns.
So, it’s theoretically possible that a chokehold could have killed Neely. Except that we know from the full video, rather than the parts the media focused on, that once Neely stopped screaming and fighting, Penny put him in a recovery position. This is inconsistent with intending to kill a man or believing you have killed him. Several people involved (many of whom thanked Penny) were certain that Neely was alive—and, indeed, Neely was alive, dying only at the hospital :
Hypothetically, though, it shouldn’t matter if Neely had died. The self-defense principle is that you must neutralize the threat. People die because they thought that wounding someone was sufficient to neutralize them.
New York’s self-defense doctrine gives reasonable people the right to take whatever steps are needed to defend themselves or others. They don’t have to wait until they’re wounded (perhaps fatally) to act. Instead, the justification for killing someone kicks in when “a person reasonably believes it is necessary to defend himself/ herself or a third party when there is a reasonable belief of imminent use of unlawful physical force.” (NY Penal Code § 35.15.)
Leftists from D.A. Alvin Bragg to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, though, hate self-defense because it makes people less dependent on the government. When a bodega worker killed a threatening robber, Bragg indicted the worker for murder . He wanted to do the same when a garage security guard wrestled the gun from a robber who shot him and fired back, killing the robber. Recall that, in Canada, Justin Trudeau has successfully eliminated self-defense:
Therefore, it was predictable that Bragg would indict Penny for second-degree manslaughter.
The real question is whether New Yorkers will resist, as they did with the bodega and parking garage workers. While the left is pushing the George Floyd narrative (white-on-black violence), New Yorkers are looking at a subway that functions as the city’s artery, but that is becoming too dangerous for them to use.
No wonder even left-wing outlets are worriedly writing about the number of New Yorkers who have come to Penny’s defense. (See, e.g., Vox , Daily News , Politico , and The Times-Tribune .) And no wonder that Bragg bypassed the grand jury because he feared they’d side with Penny and withhold an indictment.
New Yorkers understand that the government cannot and will not—and does not want to—protect them from violence. As happened with Bernie Goetz almost 40 years ago, this is when vigilantes become heroes.

Alvin Bragg didn’t trust a grand jury to indict Daniel Penny for the death of Jordan Neely
In New York City, everybody but the richest few percent rides the subway, and they know how bad things have gotten in the wake Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg treating arrests as inequitable since African Americans are disproportionately arrested.
Jordan Neely died in a hospital after being subdued by Marine Corps veteran Daniel Penny with the help of two other passengers (who have not been charged).

Neely “avoid[ed] prison for allegedly slugging a 67-year-old woman in November 2021 during a psychotic episode” by agreeing to a plea deal. Despite a record of more than forty previous arrests, he was allowed to roam the streets, though he was to stay at Harbor House, where he could receive services. When he left there, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Ellen Biben signed a warrant for his arrest on February 23.
Perhaps because police officers realize that arresting any black person can cause enormous career grief, Neely evaded arrest, even while riding subways and being visible on the streets. The justice system, in other words, completely failed to protect the public from a deranged, violent man. So, when riding the subway on May first and threatening passengers with violence, and assaulting some by throwing trash, it was only Daniel Penny who first took action to protect himself and fellow passengers.
As Andrea Widburg noted in her excellent coverage of the incident :
it’s theoretically possible that a chokehold could have killed Neely. Except that we know from the full video, rather than the parts the media focused on, that once Neely stopped screaming and fighting, Penny put him in a recovery position. This is inconsistent with intending to kill a man or believing you have killed him. Several people involved (many of whom thanked Penny) were certain that Neely was alive—and, indeed, Neely was alive, dying only at the hospital :
When DA Bragg indicted Penny, he avoided taking the case to a grand jury. I suspect he realized that most members of a Manhattan grand jury are subway riders, and might have even experienced a situation of being threatened on a subway car while on their way to the courthouse. He had reason to believe that a grand jury would not have returned an indictment.
So, just as he did with “Jose Alba, the bodega clerk charged with murder for fatally stabbing an ex-con who was assaulting him in the grocery,” his office issued the indictment on its own. Alba was sent to Riker’s Island, a notoriously violent and unsafe jail, only to be released when the public uproar grew deafening.
Daniel Penny, perhaps because he is white, has so far only been publicly excoriated by “activists” as probably racist, simply because he was a white man subduing a black man who died later. The vast majority of New Yorkers who will make up the jury pool for his trial, most of whom are fellow subway riders, are remaining silent. Literally, a silent majority.
I am afraid it will take a jury trial for Penny to receive justice for his heroic acts that ended badly for the offender. He will need capable (and expensive) counsel.

I’d like to see Bragg repeat what he did in the case of Jose Alba and simply drop the charges because of the obvious injustice or prosecuting an act of self-defense. Large demonstrations might help convince him, but so far, they have not taken place. Unless the silent majority wakes up and realizes it has to encourage, not punish good Samaritans who protect fellow passengers from scary and violent lunatics, the city and its transportation system will only get scarier and more hazardous.
