If you watch national news at all you likely are aware of the young former marine who was charged with homicide for his action on a New York City subway. Daniel Penny, a distinguished veteran of the United States Marine Corps, was a passenger on the subway this one fateful day. The subway had a good number of passengers of various races and backgrounds, one or more who would later refer to Penny as a hero. And that he was!

Jordan Neely was an out of control, mentally disturbed, 30-year-old Black man riding the same train that day, a violent man who had 40 prior arrests. One who previously punched out a 67-year-old woman, one who spent 15 months in Riker's Island locked up, and one who city officials decided to free into the general public. Neely created havoc on that subway this one day and Penny took action after hearing the words "kill" and "bullet" come out of Neely's mouth. Some of the people on the train said they feared for their lives.

Tragically, Neely died while being subdued by Penny, who is White. Penny, was subsequently charged by Black liberal district attorney Alvin Bragg. I discuss the incident in greater detail in this segment. For more, please listen in.
