'I Had to Act': Marine Veteran Charged in NYC Chokehold Death Tells All
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 มิ.ย. 2023
- The marine veteran accused of killing a homeless man in New York City speaks out after nationwide criticism - and praise - for a deadly chokehold that made headlines in May 2023. Daniel Penny, the 24-year-old vet, restrained 30-year-old Jordan Neely after Neely made threats to several people, including women and children, while riding the subway. “I was praying police would come,” he said in an interview Sunday. “I couldn’t just sit still.” Neely died as a result of the restraint. A medical examiner ruled Neely's death a homicide determining the cause of death as "compression of neck." Penny was charged with manslaughter.

Neely’s threats were very much sincere. He had been arrested over 40 times for multiple offenses several of them violent. For example: assault of an old woman, attempted kidnapping of a child, and a few other assaults.
None of this is me trying bash the guy. It’s sad that a man died. I’m just trying to clarify that he had a violent history and was a threat to the people on that train.
Had the NYC justice system actually done the right thing and either put him in prison or institutionalized him, he might have been alive right now.
Don’t blame the citizen for standing up and protecting women and children. Blame people like Alvin Bragg who use the judicial system to go after regular people and political opponents instead of locking up actual criminals.
@Sam Kornrumph Thank you so much for the facts. I completely agree with you.👍
Considering Penny would have no way of knowing that history it has no bearing on his decision to do what he did in that moment. Penny also could have utilized a different method of restraint. He chose a hold that could easily result in death, and as such, used deadly force against an unarmed person causing a disturbance.
You talk about locking up "actual criminals", and so if Penny is found guilty, I guess he becomes one of these "actual criminals" so what would you want the punishment (or lack of) be?
@@adoredpariah Fair point. I was trying to emphasize that Neely was a career criminal that was also mentally unstable. The Legacy Media is not discussing that fact. That is why I posted it. Penny probably didn't know that Neely was a criminal. He and at least 2 other people saw a man threatening women and children and saying he wasn't afraid of the consequences. People with nothing to lose (especially ones who clearly are mentally deranged) are unpredictable. Penny and the others took what they believed was reasonable action to subdue a perceived threat. Many of the witnesses were thanking Penny for protecting them from a crazy homeless man.
What method of restraint would you have used? I'm not an expert in hand to hand combat and I assume you aren't either. Real life is messy and just about any use of force has the potential to be deadly. There are so many things that can go wrong in situations like this that cannot be accounted for. I'm willing to give Penny the benefit of the doubt because of the fact that Neely had a long history of violence and was being belligerent.
If can be proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Penny acted either reckless or maliciously then he should receive the proper punishment. He's being charged for manslaughter which at worst could mean he acted out of blind rage or he intended to cause serious injury Neely and ended up killing him by mistake. From what I can tell neither is the case, but we don't have all the facts yet. We'll see what happens in the trial.
@@adoredpariah you missed the point completely. No one is saying Penny knew about his prior arrests but OP is trying to point out Neely's violent character. You can't blame someone for finally delivering the treatment a violent person deserves.
@Sam Kornrumph you guys use that "career criminal" crap very loosely when it comes to people that dont look like you. 1st off the majority of his offenses were civil and NOT criminal..do your research. He had toll hoppin charges and yes criminal charges that obviously didnt stick cuz he was out on the streets..not on bond either. I bet you never saw the videos of him on the train entertaining the passenger's and the following he had in the nyc subways & TikTok lol...u just see what you want...cant empathize with anyone..but youll entertain everything involved with dehumanizing someone..zero empathy for anyone that isnt like you
Witnesses need to step up and testify on his behalf.
Yes. Where are they?
@@vickyabramowitz2885 because they can't say anything in his favor, he's guilty
@@PasleyAviationPhotography actually the guilty one was the dead guy :-)
Everyone who was on that train are defending what he did, so he actually does have plenty of people speaking up on his behalf
Everyone that disagrees in his defense sucks and rides BBC
This man deserves a medal! Not persecution! What a clown world we are living in
Clown of the united states. The u.s is the laughing capital of the world. The american dream is gone.
a medal for killing another human? yes what has the world come to.
So does OJ
A medal for killing someone?! What kind of goof are you? No. A medal for protecting many individuals in a confined atmosphere against a violent individual making strong threats that could've had a weapon, been dangerously disturbed, drugged up to wazoo, that could've maimed or killed many, YES.
@Marc Levin well at least you are being honest and uncensored lmao.
This man doesn’t sound like someone who was trying to take anyone out. He was trying to restrain a deranged man, and now he has been charged with manslaughter?
The trial is gonna bring out exactly what went down that day!

@@AndyCutright Only because of the woke justice system of N.Y
yet, look at the video. This man is a straight up psychopath. Doesn't matter what happened before, really, I believe everything he said about what happened. This was still a thousand times beyond what was actually necessary to subdue this scrawwny homeless man.
Neely got what was coming to him. Penny is NOT GUILTY. It's a shame he was even charged.
Right
He killed a man
See how horrible this world is becoming? CAN EVERYONE NOW WAKE UP?!?!?!?!? This poor man was trying to do something honorable and look what has happened to him! We all need to get it together because things are just getting worse and worse and I am sad that this is the world my 4 year old Granddaughter will grow up in! Thank you sir for putting your life on the line and for keeping your head held high ❤
that guy is a murderer. the homeless guy didn't have a weapon and he didn't put his hands on anyone. instead of choaking someone for 15 minuets he should have just waited for the police to show up. he murdered someone for yelling. he belongs in prison
Seriously!!! What if it was you or a family member being threatened? Would you want his help or are threats of violence okay with you?
@@wesley135 Funny neither did Penny. Almost like you don’t need a weapon to hurt someone. And if Neely did have a weapon I bet you would still be here screaming for Penny’s head.
@@wesley135 Your name says it all.
@@samkornrumph8545 ? what are you talking about? he murdered a guy to death for yelling. he did something wrong. he put his hands on people when he should have called the police and waited for them. what he should not have done is choke someone for 15 minuets because they are yelling
Well said Mr. Penny. Thanks for stepping up in a frightening and dangerous situation that you didn't ask for, but you stepped up to protect those who were vulnerable. The State of New York and the City of New York, are the ones responsible for Mr. Neely's death, because they inflicted Mr. Neely on innocent subway riders, fellow Americans, when he should by any reasonable accounting, have been in jail for the multiple violent crimes he had already committed, or in an institution getting help for his mental illness!
What they tried to do to this guy is absolutely disgusting. It's becoming illegal in our culture to be a hero. I knew NYC was a rotten city but good grief. Never in a million years would I ever move there. Big shout out to Penny and thank you for your service sir. 🇺🇸🙏❤💙💛
I don't ever want to go to that cesspool city either. The people that live there are not the same kind of human beings where I live.
Correction: a very specific type of hero. Eyes wide open.
Ya...I visited New York city before..interesting city & ppl that's for sure..I remember one time I was walking down the street near Times Square and saw a NYPD cop nearby walked past him and waved at him..he looked at me funny was his response..lol.
Assault, and committing manslaughter with no lawful justification is indeed illegal, and only in clown world would doing so be the definition of a hero.
I don't answer unless my name is highlighted. Where I live it's called self defense. Funny how people in here thatare against self defense never say what they would do.
An American Hero.

@@justtubing767 You are all up and down this comment section. Why are you so mad at a criminal getting what he deserved and people supporting this man?
@OBCD unlike all of the criminals in New York😆🤣😆
@@cherylknight6080 😂
Amen 🙏🇺🇸
It would be so wrong if they convict him because of this. If they do, the message that this would send out is if you see someone who is about to or is getting assaulted and you're physically capable of preventing or stopping the assault, you shouldn't get involved. So if you're a bodybuilder, a martial artist or even a little old lady with pepper spray, *DON'T GET INVOLVED* because if you do, there will be legal ramifications.
Exactly 100%
More legal ramifications than the actual criminal threatening people’s lives. It’s crazy a** backwards!! They want to punish the good and reward these slimeball criminals. They’re tearing this country apart.
About to? You know how many "about to's" Ive seen be nothing burgers? Lol if everyone was allowed to react on what they "think" will happen...lol nevermind yall luv this stuff and think its right, when its you...
He had no weapon..the worse he would have done was grab or punch someone..and at that point..Mr Penny, sir..do your thing...but no...still doesnt mean your allowed to kill the man. But in this case he didnt even touch anyone...so Mr Penny...the future seeing murderer, is guilty. But won't be to the fullest extent since he is protected within the court of WS. Slap on the wrist
Then it would be like canada. If we're attacked, we're expected to lay down and die, we have almost zero rights under any circumstances to protect ourselves or our families. Imagine what it's like to live every day knowing, that if someone entered your home, brutally murdered your children infront of you and you kill or harm the killer, you'll face life in prison. You lose your family and your life for the "rights of trash".
Sorry you were put in that situation. I hope things work out for you.
That’s a very diplomatic and sympathetic comment. I detest violence. I suppose he had to be stopped. Could it have been less deadly?
@@kathygrosvenor4464 possibly, but I think people forget these are high intensity situations, where you may not be able to make a conscious decision about how "deadly" the force might be.
People approach police shootings the same way. It's like, have you ever had your life in danger or been in a situation where you have to defend yourself?
I think the solution here is not creating situations wherein you may end up in combat with someone because you are assaulting innocent people.
The guy he MURDERED didn't attack anyone nor was he the aggressor. Was he yelling and screaming and generally being a nuisance on the train? Absolutely. But that gives no one the right to outright murder someone. You don't need to keep someone in a chokehold for 15 minutes. That's murder. I hope they throw the book at him. This guy wasn't a hero and he isn't a martyr. he's someone that wanted to be a hero and just became a murderer.
@@jena7055 were you there?
@@dormiebasne3578 Yep, and there’s tons of unknown factors that people can’t account for.

@@karaDee2363 Were u there?
do something about what? the guy didn't put his hands on anybody and he didn't have a weapon. what people should have done is called the cops and then stand there and wait for them. not choke a guy to death for yelling
yes I would, because the man would still be alive if he did
Born and raised New Yorker and I’ve seen that kind of passenger many times, sad to say but I side with this guy on trial, I’ve had to be that guy to stand up for those that couldn’t defend themselves against individuals like the deceased man.
Born and raised in New York? How many crazies did you put in a choke hold on the subway? I am going to guess zero.
Sad to say? Say it proudly. Don’t let the crazies shame you.

This is a prime example of why people dont want to get involved. He should be recognized as a hero, not facing jail time. People who were there come forward!
I hate to see a person go to prison. Especially when they had good intentions. But it was not necessary because the guy didn't physically harm anyone. Daniel has to be responsible for all his actions, including choking the guy to death.

He should have NEVER been in this situation in the first place. Our system fails us and lets criminals walk the streets while people protecting end up in jail for life.
At least the dead guy won't be bothering anyone anymore, he got what was coming to him, karma.

When you assault others and put others life at risk, especially kids and the elder you don't deserve to be on the streets.
You deserve to be in two places, prison or nonexistent.

WITH A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE!! SINCE THEE INCEPTIIN OF THIS PLACE..
I used to take the metro back when I lived in LA. I had 3 years of torture, it’s such a toxic environment and sometimes I felt scared for my life and people just don’t step out and help anyone. Mental health is such a problem and at the metro is where you’ll face that. People in a funk will kill you because they are literally out of their minds. I had a few scary incidents and I know how scary it is from stop to stop when someone is going off on you for no reason. Mr. Whatever your name is, I stand by you. I know what that feels like and if someone is harassing someone else and you felt the need to intervene, I thank you.
NYC is no different. I grew up here and people can be so hateful and nasty here sometimes it's unreal. Whenever these bums end up in the same car as me, I'm always praying for two things, first they don't target me, and second the train gets to the next stop asap so I can get into another car without making it look obvious to the lunatic. Can't do anything else unfortunately.
@@professional.commentator yep! I saw someone get stabbed in the metro and people were so startled and the victim was in such a state of shock, no one knew what to do, the bum who stabbed her literally stabbed her right before the train came to a stop and he just got off and left like it was no big deal! Only people who use the metro in a big city know the struggle is beyond real!
I rode the LA metro about 13 years ago cause I had to go Downtown and didn't want to drive, it wasn't bad, It was clean and people looked normal. Then I had to ride it again last year cause I had jury duty in Downtown and it was much different, dirty seats, urine stains, graffitti, homeless people with their junk, "performers", people selling crap, signature gatherers, unstable people talking to themselves and shouting and people getting into arguments over a shoulder bump. It was scary.
@@V.E.R.O. yes in fact, someone tried to push me off on the rails because I went into the elevator upstairs in front of him. He got into the elevator with me and I thought he was going to strangle me. He shouted the entire time how he was going to push me onto the rails. So I ran out of the elevator but noticed he was chasing me. I knew I had to keep moving and calculate the moment to jump into whichever cabin he didn’t go into. Eventually I moved out of LA and recovered my peace of mind.
@@labitcoineragt3596 Wow that must have been terrifying! I remembered those incidents in NY of people being pushed to their deaths while waiting for the metro so I made sure to keep away from the edge, kept my back against the wall and didn't let anyone stand behind me. I plan to eventually leave LA, where did you move to?

@@doktastrange911Me too. He has a lot of support.
I’ve actually been in very similar circumstances with a person who is possibly on drugs threatening and scaring several people, I put myself between the man and the other people and I luckily did not have to restrain him because after a few minutes he did leave the area (bus stop), but I can sympathize with this guy, I believe he did what he thought was necessary to help others, for no other reason than to be a good person… I pray we don’t lock up the man helping… because if he did nothing and that other guy hurt or killed someone, we’d all be asking why didn’t someone do something?
Same. A drunk man attacked a woman. I stepped in and we left the scene. He followed us in a car and attacked again. Knocked him out to protect us. He was severely injured.
Got 3 years in prison and have to pay 100000€. So this case is very interesting to me
@PulseChain3D attacking a woman is a serious crime. Yelling and being menacing is not or a misdemeanor at most so he will see jail time regardless of his intentions. That's what manslaughter is unintentional killing 1-15yrs if I'm not mistaken so he could get as low as 1 or 15 years depending on hiw the jury sees it based off the evidence but he won't see no jail time.
@scenekidd155 The problem in my case was that I didn't let him hit her or me. He tried but didn't succeed. It wasn't relevant in court. In the end, it counted as if he had done pretty much nothing.
So, yes. I think he will go to prison too.
Exactly! And if someone on that train was attacked physically it would have been talked about by the media for about 2 seconds before going back to 'Orange Man Bad' since that's the only other thing that gets them views.
@Sam Kornrumph or Mr Penny would actually be justified in his actions because he stopped someone in the act of a actual crime...you know..like physically touching someone and not just talking 🙄

Agree completely with you. But it is also a failure on the mayor and the local government. We need way more police presence, to prevent these incidents, to reinstate bail laws when crime is committed, deny bail to violent criminals, and reinstate three strikes you’re out laws for violent crime.
I commend that man for getting up, stepping in and protecting people in what was clearly a dangerous situation. It is crazy to me that people who weren’t there truly believed this man got up and just decided to unalive someone just because he was Blk, when that man had a clear history of these kind of incidents that have terrified people before. 3 men got up to restrain that man so clearly he was being very threatening and had people scared, so I don’t blame them for doing what they felt was right to keep people safe.

I THANK YOU SIR !!! You probably saved many lives with your empathy, bravery, prompt response and adept skill level. I only wish there were at least 10,000 more people exactly like you. Hope the ridiculous charges are dropped. May God bless you. ❤🇨🇦
So you mean we need 10,000 more people that play judge, jury and executioner? We need 10,000 more people who decide to put justice in their own hands and kill people with mental illness? The guy who he MURDERED (lets call a spade a spade) was loud, yes, was he making things uncomfortable for people on the subway? Yes. But did he attack anyone? Was he GOING to attack someone? Or did this wanna be hero see someone yelling and decide to take matters into his own hands. This guy isn't a hero. He was eager to be one and became a murderer.
@@jena7055 Google his criminal record
@@jena7055 He was yelling that he was going to KILL them. Did you not watch the video? Your advice is to sit by until he make good on his threats?? What if it was your face he was yelling at and threatening? Oh I guess you and your good thoughts would have calmed him down
The people on the actual subway car with him were thankful someone stepped in.
NO ONE-not even the mentally ill-have the right to terrorize another. No one.
Speaking of judge & jury looks like you’ve already got this wrapped up-before there has even been a trial.
@@jena7055 Dude was arrested 43 times (several of those arrests were for assault) and had a warrant out for his arrest at the time of the incident. So yes, he would most likely would have attacked people.
Would you say this if he choked and killed your son?
It was a good thing this young man was there . He stood up that day and protected innocent people. Thank you for your service sir
This guy came from BEHIND Jordan neely and put this man in a headlock. Jordan Neely did NOT attack anyone, did not physically touch or harm anyone. This guy wasn't defending himself. He just wanted to be a hero and now he became a murderer. Lets not act like this guy is a hero from sneaking behind someone having a mental health episode and choking them to death.
@@jena7055 didn't he kidnapp a 7 year old? He also assaulted like dozens of people including he elderly
Thank-you for this interview. Thank-you to your guest.
A man protecting women and children is a hero. 💯❕️
It absolutely blows my mind how this man is on the line for helping when had he not and had the threats been carried out we would have been questioning the same man for not helping.
If anyone takes the train in NYC regularly and has an ounce of sense. Then they fully understand why this guy did what he did.
I would have reacted the same way - there are too many cowards in our society that turn a blind eye or fear being sued because our system of justice is corrupt beyond measure ~ people who lack ethics and morals are no longer part of a society, but a danger to it on every level. The victim who died, was not a victim at all, and his behavior brought his fate upon himself.
Ok Rambo. And you’d be going to jail for murder too 🤦🏾♂️
And people wonder why no one does anything but walk past or record it on their phone during attacks in public, this is why.

@@jena7055 thank goodness for his actions
@@alecrobertson5415 YES, I agree with you, under RESTRAINT, he was still viciously kicking and trying to HARM the heroic brave men protecting the passengers!!!
You mean like this recorded murder?
Wtf over?
@@earlthepearl4161 absolutely
If you keep someone in a chokehold for 15 minutes you know exactly what you are doing and what will happen to that person.
i dont understand how people dont get this! One thing is defending yourself and others, the other is killing a man. This guy killed a man that day.
What a horrible situation this brave man now finds himself in. With all the witness statements from other passengers I'm actually shocked they charged him at all.
Cops always charge whether you are guilty or not.
I lived in New York for 57 years of my life. I know those feelings very well; when someone threatening gets on the train. I took that same F train daily and I was on that route many many times over the years. That was the main train I took to work everyday for decades. I can't tell you how many intimidating loud dangerous people have en countered on the train. This guy is a hero. I don't care what the situation is for the person he restrained . When someone comes in in a threatening matter you don't have time to think you only have time to react. Most people don't help. Most people let violence occur and they don't come to your aid. This guy should be cloned.
When something like that happens you either become an instant victim, or you have to take a risk and try to mitigate the situation. This hero did not administer a beating he restrained threatening individual. He should be commended and appreciated and rewarded.
It is tragic than anyone is looking at this guy in any other way that does not appreciate his actions.
jesserichard Appreciate your brilliant comment, it is PERFECT!!!
If he had just subdued the man, then yes, he should be commended and appreciated and rewarded as you say, but he didn't, he ended up Killing a man. Doesn't matter how you look at it, since from a logical point of view, excessive force was used. You cant even shoot and kill a man for punching you in the face since by law thats considered as excessive force, so what makes you think this scenario deserved to end with excessive force and murder?? If the man was in the middle of assaulting and harming people, then by all means i wouldn't have cared if the Marine choked him out till he died, but he wasn't.
@@femiosusa510- that’s actually a great point. The homeless man died, regardless of the veteran’s intentions. It’s unfortunate. He may get some leniency during sentencing if charged and end up being manslaughter instead of murder.
@@sunshizzleyou Yes i absolutely agree with you.
B.S.
Daniel Penny saying that the chokehold was only 5 minutes, not 15, doesn't help his case. His attorney should have advised him not to say anything.
He doesn’t care. The man died. He’s gotta live with that for the rest of his life in or outside of prison. This mans life is ruined all because we let society be corrupted to a point where we treat criminals as victims.
@@diemc7a1and here I was thinking that his life is ruined by committing assault that led to manslaughter?
Silly me.
Someone can be heard saying if you don't let him go you're gonna kill him. I wish that person would've walked over and made him let him go. 💔
You are both a warrior & a hero in these times of lawlessness...we support you 100%...
no we don't. he is a murderer. the guy he killed didn't have a weapon. he didn't put his hands on anyone. and he wasn't threating anyone specifically. he should have called the cops and waited for them to get there. not choke someone for 15 minutes while people are telling you to stop before you kill him
@@wesley135 boo hoo
@@wesley135 As usual someone trying to voice their opinion without knowledge to say what happened.
@@wesley135 Cry harder
@@rondodson5736 it's OK if you don't know what happened. There was witnesses there that saw him murder someone. And people were telling him to stop before he killed him.
Why is he interviewing before a trial!!!
I wondered why netflix was allowed to put out a Lori Vallow documentary before her trial - surely that was potential jury pool tainting
Because apparently he has trash attorneys. Which is not a good sign for his legal defense. He said too much here that will be used against him in court. Especially because he touted his military training. We are not trained to do chokes like that. That was all him.
Because he can and falsely accused always should
Because he is innocent and the truth doesn't change. He will say the exact same thing when he's on the stand. May God bless and protect him.
You pass out from a choke hold well before death, now tell me again how this unconscious guy was still a risk when he became unresponsive. This clown used far more than reasonable force and no matter what the dead guys background was it wasn't up to him to decide on a death penalty.💩🚮
They say this will discourage Good Samaritans from intervening like this. I can't think of anything else it does.
Daniel Penny didn’t put himself in that situation, Jordan Neely did.
We’re with you Daniel. Stay strong ❤
he's gonna have to stay strong mentally to deal with his very likely prison sentence.
Thank the lord, that people like Daniel Penny still exist.
God doesn't exist
I would not thank anyone for his existence, dude is a coksucker who kills homeless in cold blood.
He did the right thing.🙏❤️🇺🇸
No baby he did not he choked someone son till he died that’s not rite girl everyone has bad days the guy ain’t have no weapon worst case maybe a night in jail but for that man to lose his life ? Cmon what is heroic about that seriously be honest it’s horrible imagine the other family and u saying he did the rite thing smh
What a moronic comment...😫
@@forrest5077 he did do the right thing, would you want anyone from your family be threatened in the manner this POS did? I hope you or anyone else has to go through being threatened like that POS did. I would be thankful this guy was stopped dead in his tracks for trying to pull something like this. The Man that threatened is responsible for his mental health issues along with his family. No one to blame but him and his family, GET IT????

This man acted in self defense he should not be in jail ❤ 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
If there’s not a “FULL” video of the chokehold from start to finish, we’ll never know the truth, other than witness testimony, and the autopsy….He may have needed to act and restrain the belligerent man, but at what point does the restraint lead to death, due to over exertion of the restraint?…..Being a trained marine, he should understand when a person is limp (incapacitated), and should let go.
Thank you for showing amazing courage and strength. You are a hero! It is a sad state of affairs when the media wants to make you the villain. We are living in an upside down world but I know a jury will find you innocent. Thank you!
No he's not a hero for choking a man to death. Once he stopped struggling and not moved anymore he should have let go of the hold and pinned him down until the police came. People act like this is a TV show or a movie. A man is dead. If that was one of your love ones I think you would have a different opinion
@@KenDAKL4ever Yes a man is dead, the man who was threatening to kill others. We could have innocent children and others dead but we don’t because this brave man stood in the way and did the right thing. What kind of world do you want to live in? I want to be on the subway and feel safe from crazy men wanting to kill.
Courage and strength? That's what we're calling murderers these days? He IS a villain. HE'S the aggressor.
not in New York they won't.
@@KenDAKL4ever yea, he is. That man may be dead, but the world is a better place for it. Another scumbag criminal off the streets. My loved ones don't assault women or kidnap children, do yours? If they did they would immediately disowned.
He could restrain without applying pressure to his neck. Clearly the fact that he died shows he was applying pressure. So this narrative he's trying to paint, as he tries to cover every basis of argument against him is pointless....😐
Lmfao!!! Hahahahahahaha
he did restrain him nealy died because he was fighting against the restraint
Buddy of mine just won a Jiu-jitsu tournament with the same choke putting guy out. Yet no one died. Sorry you have zero clue wtf you are talking about.
Probably died due to OD
That's Your personal opinion.
However, were You there to witness the reactions of anyone or everyone that was present?
It's so easy to condemn the behavior of another, while comfortably hiding behind a screen, isn't it...
You are an Angel! God bless you!
I support this person, NOT GUILTY. If I were on that subway I would hope that this man would’ve been on there
Support his legal defense. I see guilt based on the facts presented publicly and admissions in this video.
@@justtubing767 he's got soooo much money pouring into his defense already.

@@jena7055🤫
@@jena7055 obviously, you don't have never been in a threatening situation. You don't have the life experience that others have so you can't see other perspectives.
In Australia we have ‘PSO’s’ protective service officers which patrol each train station all day and night. Do they have that in America? Because I hear so many stories about criminals and junkies on the subway and that it’s extremely dangerous.. they should definitely have officers at every subway station, to at least make the public feel safer and if you are being harassed you can find an officer to protect you
He’s only 24? He looks 55
Nahhh maybe 28
Thank you for your service!
This guy is a HERO. Anyone saying he is wrong is legit crazy. Let some random psychopath come up to you or your family and make threats to your life. You would pray someone like him would be around.
where is the video of these threats?
Another woman was pushed on the tracks a few days ago and a pregnant women was attacked and cut several times on train recently. To help or not to help, it seems like a no win situation.
Maybe they were mentally ill and a good Samaritan thought they might hurt someone so they intervened.
That MJ impersonator won't be attacking any more women on the subway. Thank you Mr Penny.
I don’t understand how there could ever be anything with this, but that this man is a hero!! How many people could have been murdered by this man, if Danial had not heroically intervened. God bless this hero.
He's a living legend. He deserves a MEDAL.
His medal is hanging from his nostril. 👃🏻💫 You can’t see that nose ring?!!
His reward will be a brass medal ,shaped like a Eggplant 🍆 when he move into his new 6 X 9 room..
I saw a video of a guy grabbing a girl by the hair on a New York subway and threatening her. Many passengers just sat their and ignored the girl's cries for help as the guy just kept terrorizing her in front of everyone.
This case is exactly the reason why no one did anything.
You guys voted in these guys, you guys deal with it now.
Facts are facts bro. He may have indeed been threatening people. Keep that same energy when trying to say your chokehold didn’t kill him. There was a rise and fall of the chest until there wasn’t
He did the RIGHT thing! I commend his bravery & courage!!
What's brave about murdering someone? The only aggressor that day was this guy. He came up from behind Jordan Neely and choked him to death. But yes, it's brave to murder someone that's yelling on the train. That's the appropriate response. The lack of humanity I've noticed in these comments is startling.
This Man is Innocent of All charges he's a hero and I say NOT GUILTY❤❤❤
nope, no hero, murderer
You say that only because he didn't strangle your child...
Right. all he did was choak a guy to death who didn't have a weapon or put his hands on anybody. I mean it's not like he could wait for the police, the homeless guy was yelling
Free Daniel Penny
@@candiicaine5596 who?
This is a different story then. The kid got what came to him then. I didn’t know about the threats of murder .
No. This dude is a hero ! That’s the definition of hero to save someone else’s life or lives. Which he did willingly.
That coward Neeley prefers to fight old women but couldn't handle a real man. RIP COWARD.
He did not handle fear appropriately. He did not show "courage." He proactively and prematurely extinguished a 'potential' physical threat, which never came to be. So basically, he killed him - just in case. Sorry Penny...not impressed with your subpar understanding of mental health and what a mental health crisis looks like. Instead of a choke hold, you could have called police. You had no right to suffocate him to death. You are not a hero for this homocide. May whatever justice that follows murder, be served.
Thank you Daniel Penny I just hope a man like you is around if me or my children are in a position like that. I'm sorry the media/government is doing this to you! What a disgrace they are. If only the men in government and the media were like you. God Bless you I will pray for you every chance I get. 🧡 Melissa (One of your biggest supporters).
Why tf is he talking? regardless how anyone feels about this situation we can all agree he has the dumbest lawyers of all time. This is automatic prison time
I'm sure you know better than his legal team, Sati.
@@TheHamburgler123 Show me one case where this was a good idea. Save it for the stand, you know, the people who actually make the decision.
The Marine acted when the 40+ arrest criminal threatening the whole subway car. Criminal was taller than the Marine. He was young. He had to be stopped before he tried to carry out the threats. He is a hero.
Is it ok to talk about how you killed a man that freely in the US ? In my country there is a thin line between standing still and choking someone to death.
He didn't hold the choke for 15 minutes but he held the choke after he passed out. Once you feel a guy go limp you need to let go.
It’s alarming, disappointing & even a bit terrifying that this man is being charged if there were actual threats of physical violence and speech about killing passengers.
Sad to see a hero treated like a common criminal! We live in a messed up world, a messed up time!! Sad that im leaving such a society and world for my kids to live in
Thank you
"Why dont people help each other out anymore?" Well, this is why. I conceal carry, in my state anyone who is over 21 and not a criminal can carry. My gun is with me for me for and my family, all anyone else is gonna get is thoughts and prayers.
He did the whole world a favor. Thank you sir
I live in California and these homeless drug addicts are out of control. When they commit crimes, they get a slap on the hand and out of jail in a few hours. It is ridiculous!! Homeless drug addicts have attacked women walking their dogs during the day. A man was attacked while walking to work. One of them threatened to kill me because I was walking on the side walk. These homeless drug addicts need to be forced off the streets because they do not accept help and resources that are offered to them. They commit crimes to feed their drug addiction and assault people while on drugs.😡
That's absolutely disgusting.
They should be holding a parade for you, not charging.
Kneeley got karma. This man wasn't an old woman that you attacked and you choked out. I hope it hurt until the last breath and the 65 yr old womans image was on your mind as you faded into the gates of Satan.
😅 based
Read the definition of " karma " genius.
So based on words you walk up behind a guy and choked him to death...a mentally ill guy. There's no footage, we are just to believe you? The guy was ill and harmed no one, he yelled and you a trained killer choked strangled him.
There is footage ...he should've let him go.
I’m glad he stepped up but why hold him until he dies? Even after he was told from some guy that he was going to kill him, he didn’t let go.
He wanted to be a murde rer
How do you know when it's safe to let go?
His military training will be his downfall... He was taught this chokehold and told how long it will take to subdued or killed a man and that's every branch of the military.
You didn’t have to kill him! You say he was taller than you but he was obviously hungry and malnourished. You belong behind bars!!
"taller" don't mean anything when u been starving an dehydrated and he took full advantage of that. Instead of actually helping the man. This would of never happened if they offered aid instead of violence..
I hope there are organized protest's for this man!!! I am sick and tired of criminals being presented as the victim and the families coming out of the woodwork to collect a check ...evil is running rapid in the world we need to come together in the defense of goodness...
You are absolutely right. The world has become absolutely insane now. Smh.
This is one of the unsung heroes he did a great thing more people would step in and get these people under control and throw them in a padded room with bars and leave them there wouldn't have this problem I never want to hear that let's get Justice for their family BS where was a family- during all the other times you should have had him under control that's right didn't want nothing to do with it
Why didn't he just restrain him? Why murder him?? Hold his arms, pin him down. Choking him that long was too much.
Homeless guy probably wanted a place to sleep like a prison cell. Went the wrong way about it. Whats even sadder is he probably got that idea from another homeless person who wanted him gone.
Thank YOU Daniel for your service and CONTINUING to protect us. Sincerely, a fellow New Yorker💚
