Man's throat slashed on NYC subway: Hochul boasts subway is safer

An unnamed suspect is in custody for slashing a New York City subway rider in the neck for no apparent reason. The victim was taken to the hospital and the identity of the suspect is being protected because everything is backwards in the world, at least until January 20th.

Meanwhile, NY Governor Kathy Hochul (D) has been bragging about how safe she has made the transit system. 

The unprovoked attack occurred around 1:25 a.m. when officers from Transit District 1 responded to the 50th Street Station in Manhattan and were looking for a male victim with a slash wound to the neck

It is not certain that the man seen arrested in the video on X is the perpetrator.

Social media lit up after the attack and mentioned how the Daniel Penny incident on the NY City subway system may have people reluctant about coming to the defense of others.

AOC I wanted Daniel Penny in jail. Here’s the effect of prosecuting people who engage in self-defense on behalf of another person, you have people who film and watch a woman getting set on fire in a New York subway, and do not intervene. pic.twitter.com/eJwHuvd2Mc

Anyway, the man was taken into custody early Monday morning after the attack aboard thee C Train as it was traveling north through Manhattan. 

The victim got off the train at 50th Street and was transported to Bellevue Hospital. The alleged attacker remained on the train until reaching 59th Street/Columbus Circle Station where he was apprehended and arrested. Charges are pending and the motive, while it appears unprovoked, remains unclear. It's possible the suspect was high on meth or just did it for the fun of it, because everything is backwards in the world and who knows, haters might cheer him on for something-something.

This latest incident [as of this posting] is a small part of a wave of subway violence gripping the city. 

On Christmas Eve, another man slashed two people in the Grand Central subway terminal. One victim, a 26-year-old woman stabbed in the neck, reported that police were absent during her attack and unsurprisingly, no bystanders called for help. That same week, a 56-year-old man was set on fire in New York Penn Station, and of course there was the woman who was set on fire while she slept in a subway car and died of her injuries while nobody, including a passing police officer, failed to come to her aid while Sebastian Zapeta, the illegal alien  who set her ablaze, fanned the flames with his coat.

But Hochul is more concerned fighting fossil fuels and bragging about how she has made the New York City Transit System clean and safe, although she never rides the subway herself, at least not without armed security.

Daniel Penny may sue Alvin Bragg for malicious prosecution

Now that Daniel Penny has been acquitted of criminally negligent homicide in the death of homeless "subway rider" Jordan Neely, many people have suggested that Penny should sue his prosecutors. It appears that might actually happen.

Just days after his acquittal for the chokehold death of Jordan Neely, Daniel Penny's lawyers are considering filing a malicious prosecution lawsuit against Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Bragg had managed to get an indictment against Penny shortly after the police released him, but he couldn't convince the jury that Penny had committed a crime.

"It was clear that there was a fear that if an arrest wasn't made – and made very quickly – that there might be rioting in the streets, and that that may ultimately look very bad for District Attorney Alvin Bragg," said attorney Steven Raiser. "And if that in fact happened, that could affect his re-election."

Raiser also mentioned that the lawsuit might not only target Bragg but could also include Dr. Jason Graham, New York City's chief medical examiner. Graham had concluded that Neely's death was a homicide by strangulation before the toxicology results were available.

Alvin Bragg is one of the most corrupt lawyers, on par with Letitia James, both of whom have used lawfare against president-elect Donald Trump, and now with Bragg maliciously going after a white man because of the racial differences between Penny and Neely.

Bragg's case against Penny was a travesty and a politically motivated witch-hunt and hopefully Penny will take Bragg to the proverbial cleaners.

BLM leaders call for violence following Daniel Penny verdict

The New York subway hero who is white, went on trial for intervening to protect passengers on the city's F train [that I have taken literally hundreds of times] when a man, who is black, threatened to kill people on board the train. Daniel Penny, a former Marine put Jordan Neely in a headlock with help from several black passengers, and sadly Neely died. "I'm gonna kill a mother-effer today, and I don't care if I go to jail," Neely yelled when Penny stepped in.

Neely had 42 previous arrests in 7 years. His family was not involved in his life and he was homeless, but his father is hoping to cash in on his estranged son's death. 

What a dad.

Now the Daniel Penny verdict has been met with threats by at least one livid high-profile activist hoping he would be convicted of killing Jordan Neely, who was threatening people on a New York City subway train last year.

After Penny was found not guilty of the criminally negligent homicide of Neely, the founder of Black Lives Matter (BLM) of Greater New York, Hawk Newsome, called on black people to attack white people in the city--exactly the same thing that Neely was threatening to do when Penny stepped in to stop him.

“We need some black vigilantes,” Newsome said during a press conference. “People wanna jump up and choke us and kill us for being loud? How about we do the same when they attempt to oppress us.”

The trial has also provided an excuse for vandalism.

Last week, law enforcement said that nine suspects who boarded the northbound F train at the Neptune Avenue station around 4:24 a.m. allegedly plastered the interior of the car with messages that said: “A man was lynched here,” according to AMNY. The statements are believed to be a reference to Neely, who died after Penny subdued him in a chokehold to keep him from hurting other passengers.

Despite Neely's official cause of death of asphyxiation, forensic pathologist Dr. Satish Chundru testified for the defense that Penny’s chokehold did not result in Neely’s death.

Chundru testified that Neely’s death was the result of “the combined effects of sickle cell crisis, the schizophrenia, the struggle and restraint, and the synthetic marijuana,” Fox News reported. 

He explained that a person high on synthetic marijuana with schizophrenia can die while involved in a struggle, even without a chokehold being used. Dr. Chundru added that even if Neely hadn’t had those other health factors, he still would not have died from Penny’s chokehold.

Chundru stated that he did not consider the chokehold as the cause of death because there were other factors involved. He also noted inconsistencies in Neely's medical records. Specifically, he mentioned that the records showed inconsistent bruising on Neely's neck and described the presence of "almost negligible" tiny bleeding spots on his eyelids. Chundru concluded that these inconsistencies did not match what would be expected from a fatal chokehold, according to a report by the New York Post at the time.

Jurors spent most of last week deliberating whether Penny was responsible for "recklessly" causing the death of Neely as part of a charge of manslaughter in the second degree. On Friday, they informed Judge Maxwell Wiley that they could not reach a unanimous decision on that count of the indictment, leading Wiley to permit Assistant District Attorney Dafna Yoran to drop the charge. This allowed the jury to consider the lesser charge of criminally negligent homicide.

When the jury reconvened on Monday to deliberate on this lesser charge, it took them less than an hour to find Penny not guilty.

Insofar as Hawk Newsome's call for violence against white people, that is not protected by the First Amendment and he needs to be held accountable for his rhetoric.
