Daniel Penny is an ex-Marine, he stepped in when a man was threatening other passengers. The other guy died while in police custody I understand....not while Daniel Penny was restraining him. But Daniel is on trial.

Millions have been raised for Daniel's defense.

Forensic psychiatrist's statement. The man threatening passengers had severe mental illness and a dangerous drug called K2 was found in his system after his death.

A former NYPD Lt says Daniel Penny trial is a miscarriage of justice.
Interesting...

This sounds awful, poor guy. He stepped in to help and ends up being charged. Would it not be classed as self defence or defence of others. Will you keep this updated, as we haven’t heard anything about this over here. Hope the jury do the right thing x

The economic principle of taxation applies. The more you subsidize a behavior, the more you get of it. The more you tax a behavior, the LESS you get of it.

Our society is punishing Good Samaritans. This explains the many stories of terrible things happening while bystanders look on. Decades ago, I read stories of why doctors stuck in traffic from a horrible accident do not help. They get sued for not providing a standard of care AS IF they were at the ER with all the equipment available there. Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes.

Yes, will update here.

Actually here on the West Coast, we seldom hear about these stories from the East Coast. I happened across it on YouTube.

I saw recently that two separate European tourists were attacked in NYC, so it is dangerous there.

Years ago there was the famous Subway Vigilante case. Some hoodlums appeared threatening to a man on the NYC subway. He shot them and got put on trial.

He had also been physically attacked earlier in his life by three hoodlums. That's when he bought a gun.

On the other thread I mentioned about how suing people reached our shores, and this is obviously a consequences of this in the US. It’s crazy isn’t it, I do not know if someone would be sued over here for helping out if they were first on the scene of an accident, but we aren’t far off of that happening.

I'm still watching for updates on the Daniel Penny trial.

But here's an example of what goes on in the NYC subway...and why Daniel Penny acted.

Update. The most serious charge of manslaughter has been dismissed....jury was deadlocked. This would have been fifteen years in prison.

However, they are still deliberating a lesser charge which could carry four years of prison.

I hope and pray they find him not guilty.

Pardons should really be meant for men like Daniel in this situation not men like Hunter because of his crime infested laptop.

I agree. Daniel was only seeking to protect the other subway passengers.

We don't hear about this case on the West Coast. I found it on YouTube.

Reminds me of the Subway Vigilante case many years ago.

The problem is of course fewer people will be willing to help other people like Penny did in the future.
They won't risk being charged for a crime.
That makes for a greater chance of violence, with worse outcomes, not lesser.

IMO, the guy survived being held down, and he was full of drugs and a dangerous threat.
He was a diagnosed schizophrenic.
He said someone was going to die today, threatening everyone in the subway car, and guess what, it was himself.

Imagine yourself in such a place, what would you do. What would a reasonable person do, if they thought they could do something. You would contain the threat.

That might even be the intent. Specifically making an example of all such people who do right by others."To be afraid" that you too will be made an example of by the same corrupt system that saturated with wicked men.

and not only that but to LOOK for the govt for the means by HOW you can be protected and kept safe .
sie order and he who runs it knows what he is doing . Look NOT TO GOD it says
You look to govt for help . These people who try and help , BAD . GOVT GOOD . LOOK to govt is the motto .
you pump enough fear into the masses , and show the few that do help you persecuted .
ONE RESULT . if we cannot help ourselves and others then who can we turn to for help . NO WORRIES
GOVT already has that answer . YOU TURN TO US we save you , WE INSTALL things within society TO HELP YOU and kEEP you safe .
ONLY what they install , IT AINT FOR US , ITS FOR POWER AND CONTROL . ITS FOR THEM baby .

the same thing on the religious level is being done .
More and more now even fear to correct members in sin due to the outlashes from their own church leaders .
You speak bible , you correct sin , You bad , you no good , you no love , YOU OUTTA HERE .
WELL
NOT THIS LAMB MY FRIEND . I dont care one bit who turns on me and does what or says what about me .
THIS lamb Gonna bring ALL biblical reminders . Society and all religoins of the earth
are being programmed into COMMUNISM . but the truth is its more than that , this isthat which is of anti christ
to use GREEDY MEN to build the system of the beast and to prepare a world for anti christ .
