On May 17 your favorite Peasant wrote about the unusual case
of Daniel Penny, the good Samaritan who stopped a black,
mentally ill vagrant with multiple prior arrests who was
indisputably behaving in a threatening manner toward train
passengers in New York City. Penny has been made out to be
the bad guy in the story by the left-wing media and now has
been charged with manslaughter. The DA bringing about the
charges is a progressive, super-far-left-wing official, one
Alvin Bragg, who has a distaste and therefore a disinclination
to bring criminals to court, especially if they are black, and if
he must, make details like bail and criminal charges as light
as possible; the hallmarks of a progressive prosecutor these days.
To refresh your memory, my grand readers, Penny put the
deranged man, Jordan Neely, into a choke hold in order to stop
Neely from menacing anyone else. Penny has appeared to have
taken action in lawful self-defense, assisted by a fellow passenger
who happened to be black. This, however, meant nothing to those
who believe that Penny is guilty of racially motivated "murder"
and want to see him receive the maximum sentence. It also, one
surmises, that this means nothing to District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
It will be determined by a jury of twelve as to whether or not Penny
used excessive force to subdue and restrain Neely. The twelve jurors
are Manhattanites, and politically Manhattanites are a strongly
left-of-center lot, and DA Bragg knows this well. Bragg thus has
achieved what he set out to do: bringing about a case which will
strengthen his ties with his political base. Bragg has given his base
red meat to chew on, and this will endear him to his base greatly
come election time. At the time of this posting by your dedicated
Peasant, Penny has been released on bail. Next, the grand jury will
decide whether formal charges will be filed. The Peasant's bet is that,
given the information in this paragraph, the charges will be
forthcoming.
The worth of justice these days. Sigh.
