Will Jordan Neely’s Death be Used to Spawn Another Summer of Riots?
“We can see the agitation over the death of Neely as a call to another summer of rioting, as in 2020.”
It seems like the left is just looking for an excuse to launch another round of ‘mostly peaceful’ protests.
From American Greatness:
1619 Riots, Three Years On
On May 1, another disturbed black man, Jordan Neely, needed to be subdued. It happened on a New York subway and no police were around. So 24-year-old Marine veteran, Daniel Penny, with the assistance of two men, one black and one Hispanic, subdued Neely, who was acting in a threatening manner. Unfortunately, Neely died.
Since then, events have progressed according to the “1619 Project riots” script.
We can see the agitation over the death of Neely as a call to another summer of rioting, as in 2020. The usual Democrats have jumped in stirring up the mobs funded by left-wing billionaires. Protesters shut down a subway station in Manhattan and continued protests a couple days later that led to arrests for using amplified sound, fighting with other protesters and police, and blocking traffic.
Touré gleefully described the “killing of Neely” that has “plunged New York City into protests that have a ferocity not seen since the protests about George Floyd’s death back in 2020,” during his interview with two members of Warriors in the Garden, the group organizing the “actions.” Fifteen more are being planned for this month.
Hannah-Jones did her part. She took to Twitter, casting the Neely incident as a “vigilante killing” of a “poor” person, who was even more “reviled” because he was also “Black.” She even criticized the release of black people’s rap sheets. Neely’s included an outstanding warrant and more than 40 arrests. After assaulting and seriously injuring a 67-year-old woman, he spent over a year awaiting trial, then pleaded guilty and was ordered to spend 15 months in a treatment facility, but left after 13 days. He even tried to push riders onto the tracks, according to his would-be victims. They were luckier than Michelle Go, who was killed by an oncoming train after she was pushed on the tracks by another homeless man, and luckier than other riders killed in New York’s subways.

This certainly looks like the summer of 2020 all over again
I wonder if “the authorities “ will stand there and do nothing against the looters and arsonists, but arrest those defending their lives and livelihoods?
Of course they will. You know they will.
They have learned that they can bully government into acceding to all their demands every time, even the entirely unrelated demands.
If this is the kind of government we will be living under from now on, then this is a lesson that conservatives will have to learn also, or become irrelevant.
If Penny is guilty of murder why aren’t the other two being charged as accessories and vilified in the press? I suspect it’s because, of those three, only Penny is white.
Probably. Hopefully, they’ll have the balls to stop it timely.
