Without security, there is anarchy. And where there is anarchy, the state can command neither legitimacy nor respect.

Arguably, the greatest indictment of leftism is its preference for the vagrant and the criminal over the law-abiding citizen and victim. In politics, there are all kinds of disagreements about the role and scope of the state, but the one thing the state must do is protect the innocent.

Without security, there is anarchy. And where there is anarchy, the state can command neither legitimacy nor respect. Yet racial idolaters on the Left have pushed society to forgo basic expectations of public order and civilized conduct. Demanding anything more than day-to-day chaos would be cruel to “marginalized” people like deranged homeless black men on the subway.

The Left has a warped infatuation with society’s most entitled, recalcitrant, and destructive elements. Their latest martyr is a lunatic named Jordan Neely, who was killed while threatening commuters in Manhattan on Monday morning. The man, portrayed by sympathetic media as a “Michael Jackson impersonator,” was throwing garbage at people and making vaguely threatening statements about his willingness to go to prison for life. A reasonable person would feel afraid in this situation, as passengers doubtless did. A heroic vigilante intervened and put Neely in a chokehold. Two other men helped restrain Neely, who later died.

Seldom is the line between civilization and savagery drawn so clearly as it was in Jordan Neely’s subway car. The Left has demonized the vigilante for his “barbaric” supposed “lynching,” but this gets it precisely backward. Barbarism on the subway is a daily occurrence; it is part of the atmosphere. Barbarism is forcing commuters to fear for their lives and property on a Monday morning. It’s what you call it when vagrants shove people to their deaths in front of moving trains, and all the state can do is shrug.

In places like New York City, criminals are a protected class. Just days ago, a homeless man stabbed a commuter with an ice pick. Jordan Neely himself had 42 prior arrests and an open warrant for assaulting a 67-year-old woman at the time of his death. He is widely reported to have been a menace to the safety of others, in short, a net negative on society.

Jordan Neely had no business being on the street. Only a deranged society would treat such a man like an equal.

But rather than permit the “injustice” of locking up violent blacks, governments in places like New York empower criminals to terrorize innocents. This is called “social justice,” and it’s happening everywhere.

Roving caravans of “youths” in Chicago regularly riot and loot with impunity. The city wrings its hands over a lack of “resources” in the hood and stages ineffectual “awareness” campaigns. Civilized society is extorted, literally and morally. Philadelphia recently paid off rioters who were tear-gassed while blocking highways during the George Floyd riots.

No matter how bad it gets, no matter how many people get hurt, it will never be enough to satisfy the Left. They will always find a way to justify the criminals and blame the real victims, whose cries for justice are drowned out by the endless wailing of black entitlement. We are often told that the politics of “white grievance” is transforming America into some kind of authoritarian state, but the opposite is true. We are racing into the ghetto.

It is impossible to have civilization when it is a crime to hold members of a protected class accountable for their conduct. In Manhattan on Monday, justice momentarily took the reins away from “social justice.” The normal course of state-sanctioned disorder was disrupted by a brave onlooker, who very well could have ignored the threat, like most commuters have been conditioned to do. Instead, he chose to act at great risk to his safety, reputation, and freedom. It would be surprising if he is not hanged, drawn, and quartered for doing the right thing. He is a fool if he does not expect it.

America Overrules DA Alvin Bragg as Legal Defense Fund for Daniel Penny Soars Past $2 Million


Still, all that money might not defeat the profoundly racist anti-white justice system in NY.

We don't have a justice system. Derek Chauvin was innocent, he still went to jail. Kyle Rittenhouse was lucky to avoid jail.

By the way, Jordan Neely supporters, and his family, argue that the late ex-con drug addict never actually touched anybody before Danny put him in the tragically fatal headlock. That is misdirection. The crime of “assault” arises when you put someone in legitimate fear for their life or safety, such as by pointing a gun at them or telling someone you’re going to beat them up. Assault carries the same punishments as battery (when contact occurs), and the two crimes are considered equivalents for a reason.

At minimum, the undisputed facts show Jordan Neely was assaulting everyone on the subway car. ...

Danny Penny’s case might just be the point where the tide began to turn. That might sound melodramatic, but it’s true. This doesn’t feel like just another viral story.

Think about this: I don’t believe that either Governor DeSantis or Scott Adams has ever encouraged their followers to donate to a specific fundraiser before, not once. Multipliers like the ones we’ve been doing for two years remain unique. It’s not an accident. ...

But, with Danny’s personality out of the picture, I think what it really shows is: our American society is not, in fact, suicidal. We want to live. We aren’t giving up. We do intend to forcefully eject the satanic termites who’ve hollowed out our government and our educational institutions and send them swarming back to China or Venezuela or the Gates of Hell, we don’t really care which.

Danny’s developing story is already incredibly encouraging, not just for what it says about Danny, but also for what it says about US.

You're incorrect about this, and I once was. If I touched you without permission, that's assault. Just touching a stranger is considered assault, legally.

Ask a lawyer. I know the definition sounds crazy, and the DA would likely refuse to prosecute, but if you touched a politician or perhaps a celebrity, say putting your hand on their shoulder, that is prosecutable.

A trial lawyer?

I have 5 lawyers in my family, and I was firmly put in my place about my misconception.

No. Patrick is correct. Touching someone is battery. In general, assault is the threat while battery is the physical contact.

they have to prove in court that it was assault and they feared bodily harm. court throws out posturing and bullshit quickly. people touch all the time, many cultures do that including ours. it doesn’t end in courts.

You're right. I was confusing assault with battery. ah, who cares. I'm not a fucking lawyer.

AOC and Sharpton have been publicly making false allegations about Penny and Neely’s death in an effort to make the issue about race.

Sharpton even claimed Penny is a “vigilante” who is motivated by racism and shockingly accused the Marine of “executing” Neely.

“This had nothing to do with race,” Penny said.

“I judge a person based on their character.

“I’m not a white supremacist.

“I mean, it’s, it’s a little bit comical.

“Everybody who’s ever met me can tell you, I love all people, I love all cultures.

“You can tell by my past and all my travels and adventures around the world.

“I was actually planning a road trip through Africa before this happened. ...

Penny’s attorney Thomas Kenniff said:

“I can tell you that the threats, the menacing, the terror that Jordan Neely introduced to that train has already been well documented.

“I don’t think it’s going to even be controverted.

“There are numerous witnesses from all different walks of life who have absolutely no motive to do anything other than to recount what actually happened.

“They are uniform in their recollection of events.”

Sometimes I watch Florida Highway Patrol perp pursuit videos.

Most of the time it's a black dude.
Sometimes it's a Mexican.
Why I watch I'm unsure.

Sharpton only comes out when there is a race extortion opportunity. When the suitcase full of cash is delivered, he disappears in a puff of smoke.
