NAME ONE DEMOCRAT-CONTROLLED CITY NOT IN MELTDOWN DUE TO BLACK CRIME! JUST ONE!!!
Neely also had a long rap sheet, a fact conveniently overlooked by most media sympathizers. According to the Daily News, Neelly has been arrested 42 times in the last 10 years, most recently in November 2021 for slugging a 67-year-old female stranger in the face as she exited a subway station. He had a history of mental illness.”
Wanna Be a Good Samaritan? Fuhgeddaboudit…
This past May 1 was a typical day on the New York City subways. Commuters and tourists were transiting beneath the chaos of overhead Manhattan, only to witness New York’s subterranean version of Dante’s Inferno.
Specifically, a homeless man, now euphemistically called an “urban camper” or “displaced person,” was harassing fellow subway passengers. The Guardian went further in their descriptors, calling Neely “a talented dancer” who was “remembered as kind and loving” and even “had a fan club.”
Neely also had a long rap sheet, a fact conveniently overlooked by most media sympathizers. According to the Daily News, Neelly has been arrested 42 times in the last 10 years, most recently in November 2021 for slugging a 67-year-old female stranger in the face as she exited a subway station. He had a history of mental illness.”
Enter ex-Marine Daniel Penny, a fellow traveler on one of New York’s subterranean mental institutions on wheels, noting how Neely was harassing and threatening other passengers. With the assistance of several other like-minded passengers, Penny restrained Neely until he stopped resisting.
Penny then put Neely into a recovery position (with passengers complimenting his actions), hardly the moves of someone intent on killing Neely. "He’s a hero," said another passenger, who has lived in New York City more than 50 years.
One man’s hero is another man’s criminal, specifically to a left-wing Manhattan District Attorney. Soros-funded DA Alvin Bragg, taking a break from chasing Donald Trump over supposed dressing room hanky-panky at Bergdorf Goodman, convinced a grand jury to indict the 24-year-old White Marine veteran for second-degree manslaughter.
Penny’s real crime was that he was acting as a Good Samaritan, trying to do the right thing, protecting his fellow subway riders from harassment and potential injury. His other crime was his skin color.

That last bit is not hyperbole. Noted in an NBC News article on the indictment was this paragraph, “Penny, who is white, said he acted to protect himself and other passengers when he confronted Neely, who was Black.”
If skin color wasn’t relevant, why did NBC mention it? It wasn’t an issue for Penny. “I didn’t see a Black man threatening passengers. I saw a man threatening passengers,” Penny said.
But to the corporate media and left-wing politicians, everything is about race. NBC went further playing the race card, “The incident evoked memories of the 1984 shooting of four Black teenagers on a New York City subway by Bernhard Goetz, a white man who feared he was being mugged.”
Not surprisingly, NBC neglected to mention another NYC race hustle, the Tawana Brawley fake-rape case, where she tag teamed with racial provocateur Al Sharpton to fabricate a story about a Black teenager being raped and kidnapped by a group of white men.
If a crazed white guy on the NYC subway shouted to passengers, “I’m gonna’ kill you”, as Neely did and a Black Marine veteran took him down, restraining him to protect fellow passengers, he would be lauded as a hero, making the rounds of cable news shows and “The View.” He would certainly not be indicted and facing years in prison, as Daniel Penny is.
“A shirtless man assaulted a 75-year-old woman as she left a Macy’s store in Manhattan at Sixth Avenue and West 34th Street over the weekend, according to NYPD.” Will DA Bragg pursue this recent Black assailant with any of the vigor directed toward Daniel Penny? Don’t hold your breath.
The concept of the Good Samaritan goes back to Biblical times, specifically the book of Luke, chapter 10, and the “Parable of the Good Samaritan.”
What’s the message for fellow New Yorkers, or residents of any large American city under full Democrat control? Is it wise to borrow from Spike Lee’s movie, Do the Right Thing?
Or is the now smarter course of action to say, “Fuhgeddaboutdit”? Those wanting to lend a helping hand had better beware, especially if they are White. If anything goes wrong, they will be castigated, prosecuted, and possibly incarcerated for their noble efforts.
Remembering Bob Dylan’s great song “Hurricane” about racial injustice toward black boxer Rubin Carter, the skin colors and discrimination in the song have done a 180-degree flip since the mid-1960s in Paterson, New Jersey.
Words from the song are appropriate for any Good Samaritan wanabees on the NYC or other big-city transit systems, as it was for Daniel Penny trying to do the right thing, “He had no idea what kinda shit was about to go down.” With a crucial follow up admonition, “Don't forget that you are White.”
It is not only on subways but also in stores that Good Samaritans are persona non grata. In a metro Denver, supermarket King Soopers fired five employees for stopping a shoplifter. A food worker union in Washington told employees to not stop shoplifters. Uber-woke Lululemon fired store employees for trying to stop shoplifters with the CEO standing behind this decision.
Good Samaritans are chumps. Why not make cash registers and paying for merchandise optional? Employees should just watch TikTok videos on their phones and respond only to direct questions from customers. They can leave the store as a free-for-all for thieves. Doing the right thing only leads to big trouble, such as loss of job, or in Daniel Penny’s case, loss of freedom.
Forget Jesus’s Bible teachings. If the Parable of the Good Samaritan now becomes a criminal act, expect wanton crime and violence in Democrat cities to exponentially increase as those wanting to do the right thing follow the lead of the parable’s priest and Levite, looking down and walking away.
Want to be a good Samaritan and do the right thing? Fuhgeddaboudit.

It doesn’t matter that the Democrats are allowing their state to go down the toilet like liberal cities such as Chicago and San Francisco. They are following the example of Lucifer in John Milton’s “Paradise Lost” that it is “Better to reign in Hell, than to serve in Heaven.”
New York is hiding criminal histories
New York is inviting criminals to move to the state. Not literally, but their actions once again are showing that they won’t hold criminals accountable. It began with liberal politicians decriminalizing certain crimes and forcing police to prioritize the calls they answer because of shortages of police officers.
However, some criminals do get arrested. If that happened, liberal district attorneys drop charges or liberal judges dismiss cases.
If criminals are unlucky enough to be convicted for their crimes, well, New York now wants to make sure no one can find out about a person’s criminal record. The state legislature passed a bill that automatically seals most criminal records, and Democrat Mayor Kathy Hochul is expected to sign it into law.
The “Clean Slate Act” seals the records of criminals convicted of a misdemeanor three years after they are released from prison. It also seals the records of felons eight years after they are released from prison.
“Clean Slate offers a genuine second chance to individuals who have fully paid their debt to society, enabling them to restart their lives and become positive contributors to their communities,” said Democrat Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins. “By passing Clean Slate, we affirm our belief in redemption and improve our society by providing formerly incarcerated individuals a better opportunity to enter the workforce and establish stable lives.”
While this is a laudable goal, it places the citizens of the state in a vulnerable position. What happens if a convicted bank robber or embezzler gets a job in finance? What if a convicted sex offender gets a job that brings them into contact with potential victims? Ordinarily, employers could have discovered this prior to a problem arising, but the state is now going to hide essential information. They will have become accessories to crimes that arise because they hid information.
Now, the bill allows some exceptions, such as Class A felonies that could warrant life in prison sentences, like terrorism, murder, kidnapping and some sex crimes. How long do you think those exceptions will last before liberal legislators start pushing to include the exceptions into the bill? Liberals have shown they don’t know the difference between right and wrong, or they do and have switched the definitions of the words.
“This law is completely irresponsible,” said state Republican Rep. Mike Tannousis. “When are we finally going to hold criminals accountable for their actions? I have been here for three years, and have yet to see the day. Let’s hope it comes soon before the rest of the New Yorkers that still live in this state flee.”
This is also an effort by liberals to cater to their voters, especially since major crimes increased 22 percent in New York City last year. By encouraging criminals to stay in the city and state, they are likely to vote for Democrats and keep them in power

Illegal Immigration Drives 110% Increase in NYC Homeless Shelter Population
New York City’s homeless shelter system is “buckling” as waves of illegal aliens migrate to the sanctuary city, with local taxpayers left paying the price, a Washington Post report details.
Since the spring of last year, close to 100,000 border crossers and illegal aliens have arrived in New York City under Mayor Eric Adams’ watch. Adams has not asked the Joe Biden administration to end the inflow, but instead, has urged the White House to expedite work permits for new arrivals.
Watch: Democrat Mayor Eric Adams Says Sanctuary NYC Didn’t “Ask for” Influx of Migrants
NYC Mayor's Office / YouTubeAccording to figures published in the Washington Post, the city’s shelter system has grown more than 110 percent since Adams took office — leaving New Yorkers footing the bill:
The influx of migrants in New York has pushed the city’s total shelter population to 95,000, up from 45,000 when Adams took office in January 2022. [Emphasis added]
“We have reached a point where the system is buckling,” Anne Williams-Isom, deputy mayor for health and human services, told reporters at a news conference in late May. [Emphasis added]
At roughly $380 per person daily, New York officials say the cost of caring for the migrants will reach $4.3 billion over the next 12 months. In a statement this week, Adams thanked Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) for helping to secure $104 million in federal funding for the city, while also calling for more resources. [Emphasis added]
Late last week, Adams announced a plan to more quickly allow border crossers and illegal aliens in the city’s shelter system to secure rental assistance money funded by local taxpayers. The goal, Adams said, is to get new arrivals out of shelters and into neighborhoods.
Desperate to find space for a steady stream of illegal immigration, Adams recently opened a warehouse near the John F. Kennedy (JFK) International Airport as a migrant shelter. Lawmakers have warned that the plan poses “a security threat to one of America’s largest transportation hubs.”

@datainput via StoryfulAdams has also suggested that he may open Gracie Mansion, where the city’s mayor typically resides, to newly-arrived border crossers and illegal aliens, while stating that New Yorkers should consider opening their homes to migrants as well.
The mayor’s most expansive program involves funneling millions of dollars in local taxpayer money to the hotel industry by paying hotels to house migrants in rooms free of charge to them.
As a result of the cost of the migrant hotels program, Adams has said the city may have to adopt public services like meals for senior citizens and library hours for New Yorkers.
