Will The Penny Manslaughter Trial Be The Last Gasp Of The Left's Stoking Racial Hatred?

The media and the prosecutors are busily trying to portray the death of a psychotic, violent bum accosting passengers in the NYC subway as just one more example of America's original sin of slavery coupled with the insane power dynamics of post-modernism, Critical Race Theory, and good old White Racism^TM.

The reality is far from that, and the testimony in Daniel Penny's trial suggests that it was just another American who stepped in to protect his fellow passengers. No racial subtext, no class struggle...just a brave man who felt compelled to help those in need.

Jordan Neely was 'trying to attack everybody' before Daniel Penny intervened: witnesses

In the audio, 18-year-old Moriela Sanchez could be heard asking the 911 operator to send police and an ambulance because someone was attacking passengers on the uptown F train subway car. The audio was played during her testimony in the Manhattan Supreme Court.

During the 1 minute recording, Sanchez said about Neely, “He’s trying to attack everybody.” She described the attacker as black and that “There’s one white man holding him down, holding the homeless guy down.” Sanchez added, “Penny put his hands around [Neely’s] neck and then dropped him down so he wouldn’t attack anybody.”

Of course Fox News has already convicted Mr. Penny, as this line from their biased article suggests:

Moments before New York Marine veteran Daniel Penny placed the erratic Jordan Neely in a chokehold that proved fatal, the emotionally disturbed homeless man raised his fists in the middle of a subway car while shouting at passengers, a witness testified Thursday. [bolding mine]

But the typical protests haven't occurred, and the gathering on the first day of the trial outside the courthouse by the usual suspects was lightly attended. Is it possible that even NYC is getting tired of rampant crime and chaos, and has a tiny amount of sympathy for the terrified subway riders and the brave young Marine who protected them?

Of course this is a New York City jury, and for all we know they will ask the judge to change the charge to 1st Degree Murder with the option for the death penalty. The racial divisions that the left demands are sadly ingrained in our society, and the reflexive assumption that if a white man is involved he is the criminal is all too common.

But Tuesday's election of a (relatively) tough on crime DA in Los Angeles and the recall of the lunatic Alameda DA suggest that the tide may be turning. If California can recognize the evil of allowing criminals free rein, then perhaps there is hope for the rest of America...even NYC!
