NYC Protesters Clash With Police, Demand Justice for Jordan Neely

NYC saw several protests across the city this weekend, as demonstrators continue to bring attention to the chokehold-related death of Jordan Neely on a subway train on May 1.

Several individuals were arrested in relation to the protests. One particular demonstration temporarily halted subway service after protesters assembled on the subway tracks at a station on the Upper East Side.

I guess Jordan confused the Marine for one of the old ladies he beat up. He was dead wrong 😂

[Armalitelife]

jordan punched a 7 year old and attacked an elderly woman before a bystander stepped in and gave him what he deserved. Nothing of value was lost

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is spinning in his grave over the stupidity of these protesters.

[matthewhorner-hgyk]

They should've turned the train back on.

Justice for the people Jordan Neely harrased and nearly killed when he was alive !!!!

[pierrepowers]

One day the police will show Justice to these violent protestors

[rosamunoz]

We need a HERO at every subway station like this marine!!!

[mikefox]

Unbelievable, another reason for people to destroy a city. The man was arrested 42 times and was threatening people on the subway. Are we crazy town these days? Wtf 😳

[Seen]

Demanding justice for a criminal?! WTF?! 😂

[jamesgarrett]

He forgot to mention even more Americans want a statue of this marine erected at the entrance to the subway.

[Darthrocky]

He literally attacked children and the elderly with I think 7 arrest and he refused mental help evaluations after released. The marine is a hero who finally stood up for the victims

[missmuller]

So all this protest for a criminal where were the protester when he punched that 67-year-old in the face and broke her nose. This is insane. The Marine was just trying to help.

[richardtitzmann]

He was arrested more than 40 times, plenty of opportunities for the state to help him. And the state did nothing about that thug.

[katrinafugate]

No justice for the innocent and no peace for the innocent. He got what he deserved.

[dyeefoon]

Neeleys family left him to live on the streets, now when they see $$$$ he was a loving son who was killed by an evil murderer. All those protesters wouldnt have taken him home and fed him either. Hypocrates

[johnhasert]

Why is it drug addicted thugs are always the hero?

[bluej]

I'm happy to say I no longer support this BLM BS.

[warriorclan]

Violent criminal got his justice so what are they complaining about.

[gobbletegook]

His supporters? Why didn't they let him use their living room couch as a bed if they were so concerned?

[timisfree]

Justice was delivered on a subway floor. Unintentionally, but effective. Wonder how many lives were saved in the future…
