Trial of Daniel Penny, charged in chokehold death of Jordan Neely on subway, to begin Oct. 8

The judge will first hold a suppression hearing on Sept. 17 to determine whether statements Penny made to police the night Neely died can be presented as evidence. CBS New York's Jessica Moore reports.

The father that didn't take care of his mentally ill homeless son, now wants justice, what a clown

[modernlegacy]

Because of this circus good men will no longer stand up for what’s right. Instead they will stand by and let criminals terrorize others.

[IAPD]

Even the damn father shows up for justice? Where was he when his son goes haywire and threatens people on the subway?
This is an excuse!

[rpd]

Funny how the media never mentions Jordan Neely had over 20 arrests on his criminal record.

[gonzohetski]

Where are all the good men at?? In jail for being good men...

[MrBond-ku]

Free the hero for saving the passengers lives. Are we ever finally going to admit we have a serious black problem nationwide? Facts and statistics are not racist but the truth. Also, Scott Adams (Dilbert) is owed an apology for telling the truth. 🙄

As a Black Man. What are Good Samaritans suppose to do? Just sit there while a crackhead threatens and harasses people?

[garcia]

He shouldn’t have been charged at all.

Where was the dad when his son became homeless and became a dangerously ill?

[xubarze]

Let me translate what Neely's father said: "I want my check".

[Al-Storm]

And this is why you should never help a stranger.

[MountainGoddess]

These Idiots who are so worried about Criminals more than Victims & help pass these Atrocious Policies to keep these Criminals on the street. Where was his Daddy when his Son neede help? This is asinine.

If things were the other way around there would have been no charges and it barely would have made the news.

Bystander syndrome just got a million times worse

[HatMngr]

Neely has a Father??? Wow. That's rare for Neely's type. And uh where was this father when his son was threatening to rape and kill people???

[Dusty-McDusterson]

All it takes is one jurist who has been victimized by an AngryBlackMan

[lightningsamurai]

They didn't show everything. Daniel Penny put Jordan Neely on the side when he was coughing blood. Keep in mind when you do a chokehold, you never cough blood. If he had straight up murdered him like the media claims that wouldn't have happened.

Look up how many times chokeholds have been used to restrain other people & look up how many fighters have passed out in MMA matches.

It was stated that Neely was on drugs. He(Neely) was arrested 42x prior to the event. They also neglected to mention that Neely threatened people on the subway. If anyone wants to say that it was reported a homicide therefore murder.

Homicide doesn't mean murder. It just means that 1 person killed another. If someone kills in defense that would be ruled a homicide, which would be justified homicide.

[mindiification]

Free Daniel Penny! I have yet to see testimonies of the other passengers so if Penny was guilty then we all KNOW the media would already be spouting that news.

This is exactly why I do not go to NYC anymore

The government and this mans family didn't care about him when he was homeless on the street. If he had died in the cold or of drugs they wouldn't care. Now, suddenly, they are all about justice for him. The guy clearly had mental health issues so why wasnt his family helping him then rather than speaking for him now?
