15 minutes of choking somebody is murder. That lawyer statement released on his behalf was one of the lamest, most pathetically transparent admission of guilt too.
Fucking POS scumbag fascist vigilante.
He'll be acquitted. The prosecutors are going to phone this one in so hard, his shit legal defense won't matter.
tbh it's the subway passengers fault for not curbstomping him before he could make it to trial
or kicking him in the head when he didnt let go after 5 seconds. kicking him over and over until nothing but goo was left.
hey, at least manslaughter is more likely to stick than murder, right? :what-the-hell:
And probably will be out of prison on good behavior; here's to hoping his fellow inmates show him the right way to choke someone out.
Yes, with first degree manslaughter, you have to prove that they had intent to injure, which my guess is will be hard with this guy.
Yeah, the manslaughter charge implies that the DA is saying that Neely died as a result of negligence rather than the intent to kill.
Yeah; the justification often given in these situations is that the lesser charge has a greater likelihood to stick in controversial cases, but if that's what the DA's office did, it just suggests they think the typical American is a bloodthirsty monster. My money's on "tepid response to negative press," but no reason it isn't also the former.
it just suggests they think the typical American is a bloodthirsty monster
One side bloodthirsty, the other bloodless, probably the only reason the two can tolerate each other and find some coexistence, and why their opinions if not overlapping, then at least not at odds.
Its at least arguable that he intended to restrain rather than kill, and Neely's death was a result of recklessness intend of malicious intent.
Either way, manslaughter is a serious enough charge that he'll want to fight it. And given the state of NY politics right now, he'll very likely be acquitted.
Damn, why do I keep doing this
I'm just so random lol
Anyways can I get a discount on that McRib for my service
They keep calling him a "former Marine" on David Muir's show. The phrase isn't "Once a Marine, sometimes a Marine, as long as you don't choke out an innocent person on a New York subway in a grotesque fit of vigilantism using combat techniques that we trained you to do to innocent folks in the global south."
He felt entitled to do this on US soil, now imagine what he was doing where he was deployed.
Or don't if you'd like to stay sane.
i did an oopsie when i closed off a person esophagus for 15 minutes. id be a prison abolitionist if i didnt think this scumbag needed to be in it for the rest of his life(at minimum)
The knowledge that prison and capital punishment are evil things to do, specifically inflicting pointless suffering on fellow human beings vs the desire to :gulaged: and :pit: reactionaries.
Was gonna say… I saw the videos of this online and this piece of scum had plenty of help killing Jordan Neely :doomjak:
The sad thing is if only one person had stepped in it would've been two against three. Literally three people helping to murder a starving man.
