There is only one person responsible for Jordan Neely’s death and that is the white male criminal vigilante murderer who has been arrested: Daniel Penny. Justice for Jordan Neely and all homicide victims.
Useful fact: There are no lunatics on the Paris Métro. Pickpockets, yes; petty criminals--loads. (Watch your wallet at all times!) But there are no terrifying lunatics. I've never once seen an unhinged head case with a history of violence going into a rage, screaming obscenities and threats, and terrorizing other passengers. What does France do with its lunatics? Surely it has them. But they are not on the subways.
I took the F train from Queens into Manhattan for years. What’s happened to the subways since the pandemic and the George Floyd riots is very disturbing. To his credit, Mayor Adams has put more cops in the subway. The problem is the same as what’s ailing policing all over the United States. Subduing seriously mentally ill people often requires violence. The police are reluctant to perform their duties for fear of a short video shot on someone’s cell phone being used out of context to suggest police misconduct. The cops would rather avert their eyes than engage in a conflict that they might later be charged for criminally.
Sadly, this is unlikely to get better any time soon. There’s plenty of blame to go around; the progressive prosecutors, activist groups and the press are all complicit.
There’s one typo, Thomas. The name of the New York Governor is Hochul not Hochel.
