- Jordan Neely, a homeless man with a history of mental illness and drug use, posed a threat on a subway by shouting death threats while under the influence. Penny's actions were a justified response to protect others.
- Instead of focusing on mental health, homelessness and public safety, the liberal media framed the case as a racial issue, portraying Penny as a villain and Neely as a martyr, distorting the truth for ideological gain.
- The jury's decision to acquit Penny was based on the principle of self-defense and the law, yet the media’s rejection of this verdict and calls for protests undermine justice and promote chaos.

The acquittal of Daniel Penny in the tragic death of Jordan Neely has once again exposed the liberal media's insidious attempts to weaponize race and stoke division in America. Penny, a
Marine veteran and architecture student, has been found not guilty of criminally negligent homicide for his actions on a Manhattan subway last year. The case has been framed by some as a modern-day lynching, a narrative that is as irresponsible as it is false.
The facts of the case are clear: Jordan Neely, a 30-year-old homeless man with a history of mental illness and drug use, entered a crowded subway car shouting death threats while under the influence of synthetic marijuana. Passengers, terrified by his erratic behavior, were grateful when Penny intervened to protect them. Neely’s actions were not those of a peaceful individual; they were those of someone who posed a clear and present danger to others. Penny’s actions, while tragic, were an act of self-defense and defense of others – a right enshrined in the very fabric of society.
Yet, the liberal media has chosen to ignore these facts, instead
portraying Penny as a villain and Neely as a martyr. This is not journalism; it is propaganda. By framing the case as a racial issue, the media has deliberately distorted the narrative to fit their agenda. They have turned a tragic incident into a rallying cry for a so-called “race war,” all while ignoring the real issues at play: mental health, homelessness and public safety.
The liberal media’s obsession with race-baiting is not just irresponsible; it is dangerous. By
portraying Penny as a racist and Neely as a victim of systemic oppression, they have created a false dichotomy that serves only to deepen the divide in the already fractured society. This is not about race; it is about self-defense, public safety, and the right of every citizen to protect themselves and others from harm.
Liberal media encourages division and violence
The jury's decision to acquit Penny was the correct one. It was a decision based on the facts, the law and the principle of self-defense. Yet, the liberal media has chosen to reject this verdict, instead calling for protests and even vigilante justice. This is not the voice of reason; it is the voice of chaos. By encouraging division and violence, the liberal media is doing more harm than good.
The case of Daniel Penny is a stark reminder of the
importance of self-defense and the right to protect oneself and others. It is also a reminder of the dangers of a media that prioritizes sensationalism over truth. The liberal media’s attempts to turn this case into a race war are not just misguided; they are a betrayal of the very principles of justice and fairness that they claim to uphold.
In the end, the truth will prevail.
Daniel Penny acted in self-defense, and the jury’s decision reflects this. The liberal media’s attempts to distort this truth will not change the facts. They will only serve to further divide an already divided nation. It is time for the media to stop playing with fire and start reporting the truth. The lives of innocent people depend on it.
