‘Homicide’ is the wrong cause of death for subway assailant Jordan Neely
By John Dale Dunn, M.D.
Clarice Feldman properly described the "head lock" that Marine Daniel Penny put on rampaging subway passenger Jordan Neely and distinguished it from a "CHOKE HOLD" as the media have sometimes portrayed it her essay published Sunday on American Thinker.
Anyone who knows will tell you applying a real choke hold is complex -- you have to wrap the neck then create leverage with an opposing forearm to constrict the neck so that the circulation--not the breathing, is obstructed. A choke hold is not about breathing, it is about blood circulation.
I looked at the blurred video and could not find the proper elements of a "Choke Hold," just what Ms. Feldman properly described as a head lock.
This returns us to the media generated and medically reinforced idea that when you wrap your arm around a person's neck it's a "choke hold" that is to be condemned. The same nonsense occurred in the case of Eric Garner, who succumbed at a time distinctly separated from the time when he was restrained and arrest, after being placed in an ambulance, talking to the ambulance attendant.
Now we know that after he was restrained Mr. Neely was alive and able to talk, so Mr. Penny didn't kill him. So you might inquire why is Penny being accused of homicide? Coukd it be racial politics?
