The Cost of White Discomfort

57. Key quotes from your link...

1. According to witnesses, Neely was screaming about being hungry and tired but didn't attack anyone.

2. According to prosecutors, several witnesses saw Neely making threats and scaring passengers.

3. Penny approached Neely from behind and placed him in the chokehold, taking him to the floor,

4. While Neely was in the chokehold, two other males helped Penny by restraining Neely's arms. When Neely stopped moving, Penny continued holding him for a period of time and released him,

5. "There was no attack," Mills told reporters. "Mr. Neely did not attack anyone, he did not touch anyone, he did not hit anyone. But he was choked to death, and that can't stand. That can't be what we represent."

6. Last week, the attorneys said Neely was "aggressively threatening Daniel Penny and other passengers," and that Penny and others "acted to protect themselves."

So, within this report there are conflictions.

That being that he threatened people. In other reports, before this one, they quoted witnesses, none of which stated that he actually threatened anyone.

Common sense dictates that had Neely actually threatened someone, this report would have quoted those words.

Bottom line, he didn't threaten anyone, certainly not the killer specifically.

An honest, non-biased jury will convict that son-of-a-bitch.
