The New York Post has done an extensive interview with subway hero Daniel Penny:
Ex-Marine Daniel Penny insisted to The Post Saturday that the chokehold killing of Jordan Neely had nothing to do with race — and everything to do with a broken system “that so desperately failed us.”
In his first public comments since the caught-on-video May 1 tragedy on an F train, Penny was both soft-spoken and stoic about being at the center of a political and racial firestorm, as he faces criminal charges that could send him to prison for up to 15 years.
“This had nothing to do with race,” said Penny, 24, sitting under a gazebo at Argyle Park in Babylon, not far from the Long Island beaches where he grew up surfing.
Dressed in black slacks, a blue zip-up jacket and beat-up Vans sneakers, Penny didn’t flinch when asked about Neely, a black, 30-year-old mentally ill homeless man.
“I judge a person based on their character. I’m not a white supremacist.
“I mean, it’s, it’s a little bit comical. Everybody who’s ever met me can tell you, I love all people, I love all cultures. You can tell by my past and all my travels and adventures around the world. I was actually planning a road trip through Africa before this happened.”
He is not a vigilante, Penny said. “I’m a normal guy.”
It’s a very long interview you can go read.
I believe everything the guy is saying, including that he was planning a trip through Africa before he was hit with these charges. He has pictures of himself with smiling brown people.
Of course, I also have a lot of pictures of myself with smiling brown people in third world countries, and have actually toured Africa – and currently live in Africa – and this has never prevented me from being called a “white supremacist.”
This is because “white supremacist” just means “white.” There is no other definition. Ask them for a definition, and you will quickly understand.
Penny’s defense is similar to that of Kyle Rittenhouse. But Kyle was facing a different kind of jury.
Penny will most likely go to prison for 10 years for defending people from a dangerous black criminal.
You’ll recall that before the election, I told you very clearly this would be the policy of the Democrats.
I would like to see Trump make this guy a big part of his campaign. I don’t know if he can actually pardon him, since these are not federal charges. But we need to talk about the problem with these blacks and, more importantly, the problem with the system that enables them to hurt others.
