Video Shows A Former Marine Putting A Homeless Man In A Deadly Chokehold In The NYC Subway – The Med

[American Girl]

God forbid people try to protect themselves or others these days.

If the police have arrived 5 minutes earlier this man would have been labeled as a hero.

He might not be a hero now but we don't need another George Floyd because Saint George had similar history too and the CIA used him to make a huge operation!

 Ocasio-Cortez says death of man on subway was ‘murder’
by Stephen Neukam - 05/04/23 9:35 AM ET

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) weighed in on the death of a man in New York who was placed in a headlock by another subway passenger, saying the man “was murdered.”

The death of Jordan Neely, 30, has sparked outrage online, with footage showing him on the floor of the train in a headlock by a U.S. Marine veteran, who tackled him after the man was shouting at other passengers.

The city’s medical examiner has classified his death as homicide and the manner as chokehold, though said it would leave any determination on culpability to the legal system.

“Jordan Neely was murdered,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted Wednesday. “But bc Jordan was houseless and crying for food in a time when the city is raising rents and stripping services to militarize itself while many in power demonize the poor, the murderer gets protected w/ passive headlines + no charges.”

Neely, who was homeless, was reported to have been behaving aggressively toward other subway passengers when the 24-year-old Marine veteran put him in a headlock while another passenger held him to the ground. Video of the altercation has circulated online, and medical responders could not resuscitate Neely at the scene.

Adams blasts AOC for calling Marine who subdued hostile homeless man in chokehold a ‘murderer’
May 4, 2023 | Terresa Monroe-Hamilton

New York City Mayor Eric Adams excoriated Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Wednesday for branding a former Marine as a “murderer” after he subdued an unstable homeless man named Jordan Neely on a subway by using a chokehold that ultimately resulted in his death.

Adams called Ocasio-Cortez “irresponsible” for her comments on the incident which started a war of words between the two Democrats.

Neely, 30, was known to many subway riders for his Michael Jackson impersonations. The Daily Mail is reporting that he had a breakdown after his mother was killed. He reportedly had a history of mental issues.

Neely’s father, Andre Zachery, told the New York Daily News that his son had become a “complete mess” after his mother was strangled to death by his stepfather in 2007. He evidently had a major mental breakdown after that.

As protesters gathered on the New York City subway system after Neely’s death, Ocasio-Cortez incited them even further by claiming that the homeless black man was “murdered.” Her words came after the medical examiner ruled the death a homicide but no decision has been made on whether to press charges against the Marine yet. That decision will be made by the district attorney’s office.

One thing that everyone is missing about the Jordan Neely case: We still don’t know exactly how he died.

Another passenger helped the ex-marine hold Neely down because he was unhinged and the chokehold appeared to be non-lethal. Everyone was surprised that Neely somehow died.

This may very well be a George Floyd-esque example of a man who had a potentially lethal amount of drugs in his system being physically unstable and thus being unable to simply lose consciousness without dying.

Well, we won't know if the deceased was taking drugs until the tox screen, if then.
I did notice there were black "racists" helping restrain the guy.

Sometimes a public safety issue is simply that, with no other motive than to stop a present danger to others.

Bragg will find a way to charge the former Marine.  C'mon man whitey can't be kill'n black thugs all willy Nilly.  It don't look right.

Eleven people were murdered on the NYC subway last year. You do not know any of their names. Over 400 people were murdered citywide. You do not know any of their names. @AOC did not pretend to care about them. There were no protests of any kind. That's all you need to know.

‘Not The Right Thing To Do’: NYC Mayor Adams Calls AOC Irresponsible For Tweets About Subway Chokehold Killing
Story by Caleb Howe • 4h ago

New York City Mayor Eric Adams said tweets sent by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez this week were irresponsible and “not the right thing to do,” after a homeless man was killed in a subway altercation on Monday.

The victim, Jordan Neely, was killed when the man he was fighting with put him a chokehold and held him in it until he lost consciousness, according to reports. Disturbing video of the altercation was shared online by passengers.

The death was ruled a homicide by the medical examiner late Wednesday night. Before that, Ocasio-Cortez and other public figures spoke out on social media about the incident.

The congresswoman attacked the New York Times and the Mayor over the incident, calling it a murder, blaming the city’s law enforcement and Adams‘ “tough on crime” stance, and attacking “passive headlines” and more. ...

The narrative is that a "young boy" named Jordan Neely was lynched on the subway in New York CIty.
Jordan Neely's prior record included 42 prior arrests between 2013 and 2021, including four for assault and others for less severe charges. At the time of his death, he had one active warrant for assault.
Multiple members of Congress and politicians are calling on the public to take action against the Good Samaritan, a U.S. Marine, whose actions contributed to the death of Jordan Neely.
And they want accountability against him without a trial.
In the court of public opinion, he has been tried and found guilty of lynching, of being a racist, a terrorist, and a bigot, who murdered and executed a young boy whose favorite pastimes were impersonating Michael Jackson and busking for food.
Mob rule. This is the true face of "liberal democracy."

NYC subway chokehold death of Jordan Neely probed by 'senior' prosecutors as protesters clash with police
Video shows Marine vet allegedly kill mentally ill homeless man Jordan Neely with a chokehold on NYC subway

By Rebecca Rosenberg | Fox News


Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg announced Wednesday that "senior, experienced prosecutors" are investigating the subway chokehold death of Jordan Neely as violent clashes with police erupted Wednesday in New York City.

Neely, 30, was reportedly having a mental episode on the F train Monday, yelling and pacing back and forth, when a U.S. Marine veteran tackled him to the ground and put him in a chokehold, according to witnesses and police.

Two other straphangers helped restrain him, and video that captured part of the encounter shows Neely, a Michael Jackson impersonator, slowly go limp then die.

The city's medical examiner determined that the manner of death was homicide caused by compression of the neck.

NYC straphanger who choked man to death could face involuntary manslaughter charge: legal experts

By Steve Janoski
May 3, 2023

The New York City straphanger who was caught on video putting a disturbed homeless man in a deadly chokehold this week could be prosecuted — although for what charges would likely depend on how threatened subway riders felt beforehand, legal experts said Wednesday.

Criminal defense attorneys and former prosecutors suggested the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office — should it choose to bring charges against the 24-year-old Marine over Jordan Neely’s death Monday — could possibly make the argument for raps of manslaughter of criminally negligent homicide.

But several factors would need to be taken into account before prosecutors can even determine there was criminal liability.

“It really depends, I suppose, on the danger that he posed to the other passengers,” Jeffrey Lichtman, the defense attorney who’s represented Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman and John Gotti Jr., said of Neely, 30, who went on a boisterous rant just before he was choked out and killed on an F train.

“I think what the DA is going to do is talk to the people who were there, and they’re going to find out exactly what kind of legitimate threat the guy posed,” Lichtman told The Post.

 Straphanger who put Jordan Neely in fatal chokehold hires DA Bragg’s former rival as attorney
By Larry Celona and
Emily Crane   
May 4, 2023 6:33pm

The Marine who was filmed putting mentally ill homeless man Jordan Neely in a fatal chokehold on a subway has lawyered up — hiring Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s former rival to represent him, The Post has learned.

The straphanger, whose name hasn’t been released publicly, retained criminal defense attorney Thomas Kenniff — potentially setting up another showdown with Bragg should the DA’s office bring charges in Neely’s death.

Kenniff, a Republican, notably lost out to Bragg, his Democrat counterpart, in the race for Manhattan DA in 2021.

The Iraq War veteran and major in the Army National Guard — a former Westchester prosecutor and founding partner of Raiser & Kenniff — didn’t want to comment on his new client on Thursday.

His client — identified by police sources as a 24-year-old from Queens — was taken into custody after Monday’s deadly encounter but was released without charges.

The DA’s office, as part of its probe, is now weighing whether to bring criminal charges against him over Neely’s death, which has been ruled a homicide.

A spokesman for Bragg confirmed the probe was ongoing Thursday.

“As part of our rigorous ongoing investigation, we will review the Medical Examiner’s report, assess all available video and photo footage, identify and interview as many witnesses as possible, and obtain additional medical records,” the rep said in a Wednesday evening statement.

Typical fake liberal tears for a worthless person who was begging to die an early death from some cause for many years.
Of course, if it were a black person choking a violent, mentally ill white person to death, you'd hear crickets.
I'm just sick of the whole thing. The governor of NY is a supreme creepette for her remarks.

NYC subway choking victim Jordan Neely: What we know

When: May 1, 2023

Who: Jordan Neely, 30, a homeless man was fatally strangled aboard a northbound F train just before 2:30 p.m., according to police.

He reportedly started acting erratically on the train and harassing other passengers before being restrained and ultimately choked by a straphanger, identified as a 24-year-old marine from Queens.

The marine, who was seen on video applying the chokehold, was taken into custody and later released but the DA is mulling charges, which could include involuntary manslaughter, according to experts.

Fallout: The city medical examiner ruled Neely’s death a homicide, noting he died due to “compression of neck (chokehold).” This will be weighed during the investigation into whether charges will be brought for Neely’s death.

If Jordan Neely had dropped dead in the gutter starving and covered in his own excrement, AOC would have stepped right over his corpse in her Louboutins to get into her armed guard Escalade without batting an eye.

If Jordan Neely had stabbed the guy who choked him, AOC, Summer Lee and everyone else wouldn’t even know his name. And Alvin Bragg would have given him cashless bail and he would be out on the streets to do it again. It is all such disingenuous phony outrage

Protests planned in NYC as DA considers charges in subway chokehold death of Jordan Neely

NOHO, Manhattan (WABC) -- Protests are set for Friday after the death of a subway rider, who was put into a chokehold on the train, was ruled a homicide.

Both the family of the man who died, 30-year-old Jordan Neely, and the unidentified Marine veteran who subdued him, have retained lawyers.

Protestors at the Barclay's Center in Brooklyn called for accountability on Thursday as the NYPD has issued a call for public help in their investigation.

Activists demanded that charges be filed against the 24-year-old Marine veteran at the center of the disturbing video of Neely in a chokehold. That video shows Neely on the floor of a northbound F train.

What happened to Jordan Neely is a city’s failure to police subways and treat mentally ill

Before going any further let’s just say what every New Yorker knows. The city’s subway is unsafe. Every New Yorker knows it. Every New Yorker talks about it. Everyone has a story about it.

Those who are able to find other routes around the city do. Most women I know won’t use it after dark. And even in the middle of the day you see sights that just aren’t normal. But they’ve become normal here. We just got used to it.

We got used to the homeless people using the subway to keep warm or dry. We got used to mentally ill people screaming at cars full of people. We got used to people high on legal or illegal drugs staggering around.

And we got used to looking down — staring intently into our phones and hoping it would go away.
