Most everyone's well aware of the railroading of Daniel Penny. The young man who stepped up on a New York City subway when an out-of-control man first began harassing fellow passengers and then threaten them with violence.

...When a “seething, psychotic” Neely first got into the northbound train on May 1, 2023, he demanded food and money from other riders and spoke about going to Rikers Island and being sentenced to life imprisonment — before threatening to “kill,” Kenniff claimed.

This all while the passengers’ “fear turns to outright panic” — including a mother who huddled behind a bench to protect her baby, the defense lawyer said.

Penny “summoned the courage” to act, and while “that doesn’t have to make him a hero … it doesn’t make him a killer,” Kenniff argued.

Frightened for their lives, fellow passengers thanked Penny for saving them, and the young man was lauded as a 'good Samaritan' and a hero for being brave enough to act.

The City of New York didn't see it that way.

Daniel Penny is white. The deceased Jordan Neely was black. The Manhattan DA, Alvin Bragg, sensed an opportunity to score some points as well as chill out BLM supporters who'd immediately jumped on the tragic opportunity to do some shrieking about white 'vigilantes.'

For Penny's courage and self-sacrifice in preventing harm to his fellow citizens by physically restraining the aggressive and menacing Jordan Neely, the Marine veteran was arrested and charged with manslaughter when Neely later died.

This makes me sick to my stomach. Daniel Penny in handcuffs charged with manslaughter, facing a decade in prison if convicted for DEFENDING himself & others against a criminal threatening to kill people (who’d also kidnapped a child & beaten an old lady).pic.twitter.com/CmlRdos4kP

Preventing a violently inclined fellow passenger from attacking anyone else on the train is understandable, even 'laudable,' according to the Manhattan DA's attorney during the trial.

But you can't go overboard.

Daniel Penny went “way too far” when he put Jordan Neely in a chokehold on a New York City subway train last year until he died, a Manhattan prosecutor told jurors Friday during opening statements in Penny’s manslaughter trial.

Assistant District Attorney Dafna Yoran said that while Penny’s initial intent to protect other passengers from someone he perceived as a threat was laudable, that praise vanished when he continued to hold onto Neely after he had lost consciousness and after the other passengers had safely exited the train car.

“A chokehold is only permitted when it’s absolutely necessary and only for as long as it’s absolutely necessary,” Yoran told jurors. “And here, the defendant went way too far.”

Especially when you're a 'white man' in NYC who stands accused of killing a black man in the course of defending yourself and others.

How do I know it makes a difference to the prosecutors in the case?

Because Mr Penny doesn't have a name in that courtroom as far as they're concerned. He's not even "the defendant."

To the Assistant District Attorney, he's simply "the white man."

It's not a mistake.

It's not once or twice. Nor does the ADA mention Daniel's Penny's name a single time.

Penny's lawyer points out the discrepancy and asks the 19-year-old witness how it happened that she knew the victim's name and not 'the white guy's.'

ADA: I don't believe I have any more questions.
Judge: Cross?
Penny's lawyer: Yes... Good morning, may I call you Yvette? I am Thomas. You recognize Mr. Penny?
Rosario (looks) Yes.
Penny's lawyer: You call Mr. Neely Jordan - but did you know him?
Rosario: No.

Darn if Ivette Rosario hadn't gotten all that from meeting with prosecutors.

The Manhattan DA office of the infamous Alvin Bragg.

On day two of his manslaughter case, Daniel Penny ceased having a name.

He became merely “the white man.”

During the prosecution’s opening statements on Friday, they asked why Penny, 26, did “not see Mr. Neely’s humanity.”

On Monday, the Marine Corps veteran — facing 15 years for the subway chokehold that killed mentally ill homeless man Jordan Neely — was reduced by the same prosecution to his race and sex.

The DA's office, whose primary concern is putting a glistening racial victimhood spin on this abomination of a case that has nothing to do with anything remotely resembling justice. 

...It became clear that Rosario, whose voice at times was barely audible, did not know Penny’s name, so she referred to him as “the white guy.”

But she was not corrected by Assistant DA Jillian Shartrand, nor did the lawyer inform Rosario of the defendant’s name. Instead, Shartrand adopted it as her own, calling him “the white man.”

Shartrand continued to question Rosario, referring to the defendant as such, more than a half a dozen times. It was jarring to hear it repeated so casually.

Given the racial undertones of the case, with BLM protesters hurling accusations of Penny being a “racist vigilante,” it felt doubly reckless. Even if it wasn’t wholly malicious.

These Manhattan monsters have to hammer 'the white guy" for their racial grievance audience because they have no manslaughter case.

It's time for it to stop.

All of the games. All of the grievance grifting, all of the color-weighted "justice."

Been there, done that, and WERE long past it...I thought.

I want the blindfolds back on the lady with the scales for whatever race, sex, or creed stands before her.

I want prosecutors who look for actual criminals instead of chances for scores to settle or trying to make points pacifying privileged victimhood groups with the blood of innocent people.

I want the things that made my country great back, and, until recently, being "Mr." in a courtroom instead of a skin color in a Soros DA's show trial was damn sure one of those.

I want it back.
