Everyone is weighing in with their two cents on the death of Jordan Neely. AOC declared Wednesday that he was murdered, and her fellow squad member Ayanna Pressley has called it a “lynching,” both apparently in an attempt to get the riots started before the investigation even gets underway. Even New York City Mayor Eric Adams has told AOC to cool it with the “murder” talk until the investigation provides more detail.
Touré admits that having some lunatic yelling at you on the New York subway is normal, and if you’re at the receiving end of this abuse, you can simply do nothing and hope the guy doesn’t get violent.
A homeless man yelling on the NYC subway is normal. We see that all the time. What's not normal is for a Marine to sneak up behind him, put him in a chokehold, and unalive him. That's not justified. The Marine could've just done nothing. He should be charged.

He probably will be charged, but with manslaughter, not murder. And in New York City, he’ll almost certainly be convicted.
The reason we bring up Touré in particular is that we remember his take on when a Dunkin’ Donuts employee was charged after punching an elderly man so hard that he died. The employee said that the man had called him a racial slur — and that got Touré thinking that calling him the n-word would be considered a violent threat on his life.
This was back in 2021:
A 77 yo white customer at Dunkin Donuts was upset about something and he called a Black 27 yo employee the n-word. The brother told him say it again. The old man did. The brother knocked him out. The old man fell, lost consciousness, and died. He fucked around and found out.

If there was actual justice in this country, as opposed to white justice, then if you went to someone’s minimum wage job and called them the n-word twice, whatever happened after that would be legally acceptable.
— Touré (@Toure) May 12, 2021
The employee is facing a murder charge. Which makes no damn sense.
— Touré (@Toure) May 12, 2021
Killing a man for allegedly calling you the n-word — twice! — is justified, but if some lunatic terrorizes you on the subway, you’re just supposed to sit there and take it, because that’s just life on the subway.

It was self-defense:
Don’t act like the punch was the first violent act. That was a retort. That was self defense. Calling someone the n-word is violence.

To the Left, words are violence.
Calling me the n-word is threatening my life. https://t.co/KfBjD8bjGZ

So the guy who killed an old man should be found not guilty because his life was threatened with the n-word and it was self-defense.
If NYC had given him shelter instead of coddling illegals, this guy wouldn't have been "homeless".

"The Marine could've just done nothing."
That's what democrats in New York have been doing, NOTHING.
This man was arrested FORTY FOUR TIMES, at least a few of them for assaulting people on the subway.
Until you JAIL these people, nothing will change.

If Jordan Neely had dropped dead in the gutter starving and covered in his own excrement, you would have stepped right over his corpse and gone on your merry way.

Is it privilege to be able to be arrested 44 times and go around harassing and threatening people at will and still be able to walk around freely to do it? Just asking

“A homeless man yelling on the subway” isn’t normal in other countries and shouldn’t be normal in the USA. This man had a record of 40 arrests and was screaming threats at people . This shouldn’t have happened — he should have been institutionalized for his own safety and others.

What if a homeless man yelling on the NYC subway wasn't normal?
— Dissident Soaps (@DissidentSoaps) May 3, 2023
Most sane question of the day.
— Apheleia (@Apheleia9) May 4, 2023
Someone made a good point yesterday: The subway should be a method for paying customers to get around the city safely. It’s not a performance space, or a homeless shelter, or a giant urinal, or just someplace to push people onto the tracks.
