The Prosecution Of Daniel Penny Is A Soviet-Style Attack On The Right Of Self-Defense by the infamous Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg

This is a very serious case about the right to self-defense!

It is also a stark reminder again that known violent mentally ill individuals should no be out in public!!!

"Closing arguments were heard in the New York City trial of military veteran Daniel Penny, who is charged with murder for subduing a dangerous mentally ill homeless man on a subway train.

The TPPF take: The prosecution of Daniel Penny is an attack on the right of self-defense.

If capable, well-intentioned individuals like Penny refrain from intervening, who will ensure public safety in moments of crisis?” asks TPPF’s Chuck DeVore. “New Yorkers, already accustomed to high-profile subway crimes, may feel abandoned. It is no coincidence that under DA Alvin Bragg, a prosecutor known for prioritizing controversial cases like those against President-elect Trump over addressing violent crime, public trust in the justice system has justifiably eroded.”"

"American justice has become politicized — a weapon against enemies with hall passes for favored groups. Attorney General Merrick Garland, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and dozens of big city, George Soros-funded leftist district attorneys routinely prosecute innocent citizens while letting criminals walk free.

The actions of these powerful officers of the law fit a pattern that the great Soviet-era Russian writer Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn not only would have recognized, but he also detailed. ...

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s prosecutions of both Donald Trump and Daniel Penny — closing arguments for Penny’s trial are scheduled for after Thanksgiving — combined with his leniency for deadly criminals are a case in point. ...

Penny, a former Marine, intervened when Jordan Neely became aggressive and threatening on a subway train. Neely, who tragically died, either during the confrontation or shortly after ... had a long history of violence and assault. By stepping in, Penny averted harm to fellow passengers. Yet instead of being hailed as a protector, Penny was prosecuted. It appears Bragg is a fan of the Soviet Union’s Article 139. ..."
