by Selwyn Duke, The New American:
It’s not that government can’t clamp down on people when it wants to. The J6 prisoners’ treatment proves that abundantly. It’s that when it wants to, it’s not driven by the imperative of justice but the incentive of politics. A prime example is the Jordan Neely/Daniel Penny affair.
Neely, 30, the violent, deranged man who died while or after being restrained on a New York City subway May 1, had a voluminous rap sheet of 42 arrests. On the list are the kidnapping of a seven-year-old girl and multiple assaults, one of which was a 2021 attack on an elderly woman on whom Neely inflicted serious injuries. Yet he was still on the streets.

Penny, 24, the ex-Marine who (with others) helped restrain the unhinged Neely on May 1 — doing the job the authorities wouldn’t do — has now been charged with manslaughter by hard-left Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg. Perhaps the charge really should be something Bragg can’t brag about: “Being a real man in the third millennium.” Regardless, apparently upstanding citizen Penny could be off the streets for a long time. He faces 15 years’ incarceration.
What’s wrong with this picture?
The answer observers such as commentator Emma Vigeland offer is: the “bourgeois” concern about people’s “discomfort.” Along with many others, she emphasizes that Neely was a “mentally ill” man who needed help.
Does that make a difference? If a mentally sound person kills you, you’re dead. And if a mentally ill person kills you, you’re dead.
The difference is something else: Maybe Neely should’ve long ago been in prison.
Or maybe he should’ve been in a psychiatric institution.
For sure, though, he should have been off the streets.
It’s not as if Neely hadn’t long served notice on society or was low-profile, either. The mainstream media have, in an effort to whitewash the criminal, pointed out that he was a (lovable) Michael Jackson impersonator. Well, journalist Mike Cernovich uncovered a 2013 Reddit post (tweet below) by a liberal who was warning about how this Jackson impersonator had become unhinged.

As the Reddit poster wrote:
Try to stay away from the Michael Jackson impersonator if you see him…
Used to be all cool, dancing to MJ in the subway train, but as of late he’s become a maniac.
Sometime in late Spring/early Summer I saw him in the train, his radio f***** up and he was angry as f***, cursing and bad mouthing commuters screaming “What the f*** are you looking at? Dont f****** look at me!” Totally didn’t expect him to act as such.
Ever since that day he’s just been a scary dude to me. He doesn’t dress up anymore. No more dancing…just asks for money. Occasionally shouting obscenities.
The poster elaborated further as well. (Hat tip: Revolver news.)
Revolver also presents a confrontation online provocateur “Joey Boots” had with Neely while legally filming him on the streets (video below). The footage includes as well an interaction Boots had with commentator Tucker Carlson, whom Boots videoed fishing at NYC’s Central Park lake! As Revolver points out, the difference in the two men’s reactions to being recorded speaks volumes.
