And the liberal among you with (allegedly) more empathy need to do better than “thoughts and prayers” that these situations will magically improve. Every single city in the US that has adopted leftist policies toward crime, drugs, homelessness, etc. is an absolute sewer where this stuff is happening at an exponentially increasing rate.

This particular guy was a violent threat to everyone in that subway car. The marine and others who held him down were risking their own lives in public service. As it happens I don’t know how to put a violent man in a choke hold and subdue him, so I likely would have shot him with my CCW if put in the same situation.

Speaking as a Black woman, I agree with you.

If I had been in that subway car, I would’ve been so grateful for that man who put hands on Jordan Neely so everyone else could escape safely.

You know why? Because the Jordan Neelys of the world pose the biggest threat to ME.

I am an unambiguously Black, dark skinned, blickety Black, mixed with dark and midnight sista. No one’s mistaking me for anything but Black. This matters because you know who people like Jordan Neely most often go for? People like me. Before I finally escaped NYC, I had dozens and dozens of these encounters in the subway, on the bus, on the sidewalk each year. I was heavily pregnant, I had these kinds of encounters on the daily because these predators knew I couldn’t run away.

All these bleeding heart white liberals walk around wrapped in white privilege. It’s a very rare black man who’s going to put hands on you, grab your ass, get in your face expecting you to give him money because he’s a brotha, cuss you out, slap you, punch you, follow you home, watch you to learn when you take your train and stand there waiting for you. Rinse and repeat daily. All except the craziest Black folk know you don’t mess with white folk unless you want things to get really real for you. Middle class whites have that kind of immediate threat of violence escalating into actual violence experience maybe once a decade, maybe once a lifetime.

So, white liberals can say things like ‘the mentally ill people like Jordan Neely pose little threat’ because what you really mean is that they pose little threat TO YOU.

Black women like me, on the other hand? We have the highest murder, rape, DV, robbery etc. rates of any race of women, apart from Native American women on reservations. Do you know who’s beating, robbing, raping, and killing us ? Aggressive Black men like Jordan Neely. Back in the day, no cop would show up for a black woman fighting off some brotha off his meds. Now, if the police do show up, some white liberal is going to let him out the next day on these BS bail policies to come bash my head in and they’ll call it justice.

None of you virtue signaling, pathologically narcissistic white liberals think of the victims because you’re so rarely the victims.

Honestly, looking at videos of how aggressive Jordan Neely was and seeing how long his rapsheet was, I bless that good samaritan who took him out because women like ME are the biggest beneficiaries every time a Jordan Neely is off the streets. It’s unfortunate he died, but he definitely had it coming. That was some street justice for all of the victims who have suffered at his hands thanks to the arrogant white liberals posting nonsense in this thread.

Sorry, not sorry.

We need to hear more of this. I’ve seen some videos on TikTok and Twitter expressing similar sentiments.

What’s your solution for addressing the problem of people like Neely other than “street justice”?

DP. That PP was pretty clear that what she wants is for the police to come help her when she asks for help, and for the justice system to prosecute instead of letting people go.

This is really powerful. I always considered myself super lefty—but I can’t stand how the left is leaving actual victims aside in their laissez-afire approach to crime, drugs, homelessness.

FWIW I notice that Chuck Schumer has remained silent on this. That should probably tell you where most Democrats are.

All but the AOC wing of the Democratic Party know that they are going to get dragged on the crime issue during this next election cycle and don’t want to be associated with the far left/progressive views on crime.

DP but are you suggesting every individual has to figure out a plan to deal with the random violence that our government won't protect us from? What, to prove themselves worthy of taking public transportation?

The future of this country is more violent, more polluted, and more corrupt. And that future is being ushered in by the irrational thought police, like you, who refuse to let people speak the truth about what is happening.

The nihilistic media is hyping this up as the "next George Floyd" bc they want to profit off of wall to wall coverage of riots. Bleak.

+1. One served his country, the other one was a documented criminal. I feel sorry for one of them in this unfortunate case, and it is not the criminal.

Oh please. Dude joined the marines because he didn’t know what else to do with his life. Now he’s a college dropout looking to become a bartender. He’s an aimless drifter. I’ll never understand the idolization of the military. Do you really think our finest go into it?

Well, given that veterans make more money than non-veterans, I'm not sure your disdain is supported by data. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2019/12/09/veteran-households-in-u-s-are-economically-better-off-than-those-of-non-veterans/

People who aren't sure what to do with their lives do not subject themselves to one of the most notoriously challenging basic training programs in the world. Most people can't even command themselves to do a 5k, much less be able to hack it as a Marine.

How did you get that from "what's your solution other than street justice"? It's easy to complain--much harder to offer solutions. What's your solution other than insulting anonymous people on an anonymous forum? Surely you have some solutions you can suggest?

Every single city in the US that has adopted leftist policies toward crime, drugs, homelessness, etc. is an absolute sewer where this stuff is happening at an exponentially increasing rate.

This particular guy was a violent threat to everyone in that subway car. The marine and others who held him down were risking their own lives in public service. As it happens I don’t know how to put a violent man in a choke hold and subdue him, so I likely would have shot him with my CCW if put in the same situation.

Speaking as a Black woman, I agree with you.

If I had been in that subway car, I would’ve been so grateful for that man who put hands on Jordan Neely so everyone else could escape safely.

You know why? Because the Jordan Neelys of the world pose the biggest threat to ME.

I am an unambiguously Black, dark skinned, blickety Black, mixed with dark and midnight sista. No one’s mistaking me for anything but Black. This matters because you know who people like Jordan Neely most often go for? People like me. Before I finally escaped NYC, I had dozens and dozens of these encounters in the subway, on the bus, on the sidewalk each year. I was heavily pregnant, I had these kinds of encounters on the daily because these predators knew I couldn’t run away.

All these bleeding heart white liberals walk around wrapped in white privilege. It’s a very rare black man who’s going to put hands on you, grab your ass, get in your face expecting you to give him money because he’s a brotha, cuss you out, slap you, punch you, follow you home, watch you to learn when you take your train and stand there waiting for you. Rinse and repeat daily. All except the craziest Black folk know you don’t mess with white folk unless you want things to get really real for you. Middle class whites have that kind of immediate threat of violence escalating into actual violence experience maybe once a decade, maybe once a lifetime.

So, white liberals can say things like ‘the mentally ill people like Jordan Neely pose little threat’ because what you really mean is that they pose little threat TO YOU.

Black women like me, on the other hand? We have the highest murder, rape, DV, robbery etc. rates of any race of women, apart from Native American women on reservations. Do you know who’s beating, robbing, raping, and killing us ? Aggressive Black men like Jordan Neely. Back in the day, no cop would show up for a black woman fighting off some brotha off his meds. Now, if the police do show up, some white liberal is going to let him out the next day on these BS bail policies to come bash my head in and they’ll call it justice.

None of you virtue signaling, pathologically narcissistic white liberals think of the victims because you’re so rarely the victims.

Honestly, looking at videos of how aggressive Jordan Neely was and seeing how long his rapsheet was, I bless that good samaritan who took him out because women like ME are the biggest beneficiaries every time a Jordan Neely is off the streets. It’s unfortunate he died, but he definitely had it coming. That was some street justice for all of the victims who have suffered at his hands thanks to the arrogant white liberals posting nonsense in this thread.

Sorry, not sorry.

What’s your solution for addressing the problem of people like Neely other than “street justice”?

DP but are you suggesting every individual has to figure out a plan to deal with the random violence that our government won't protect us from? What, to prove themselves worthy of taking public transportation?

The future of this country is more violent, more polluted, and more corrupt. And that future is being ushered in by the irrational thought police, like you, who refuse to let people speak the truth about what is happening.

How did you get that from "what's your solution other than street justice"? It's easy to complain--much harder to offer solutions. What's your solution other than insulting anonymous people on an anonymous forum? Surely you have some solutions you can suggest?

My solution is for the government to get off its a$$ and conduct a 1990s style broken windows policing program combined with prison reform that looks basically like this: https://www.ft.com/content/d05a1b0a-f444-4337-99d2-84d9f0b59f95

Am I now worthy to take the metro?

Agree. Bring back broken windows policing policies.

Those policies literally saved NYC.

Ok, let's discuss.

1) If by "the government" you mean the federal government, you are confused because policing programs are local.

2) Regarding "broken windows" policing, the movement was discredited by many researchers. We can agree to disagree on this one.

3) Regarding your link on prison reform, "Inside El Salvador’s mega-prison: the jail giving inmates less space than livestock"...yeah, you know quite well that that's not going to fly in the US. We are not El Salvador. As it is, we already incarcerate more people per capita than most countries. You want to incarcerate even more? Sure, but what happens when they get out without any rehabilitation and a record? I agree that the most dangerous should be incarcerated, but judging by recidivism rates in the US, locking lots of people up hasn't been enough to address our crime problems.

DP. Yes, the broken windows style of policing has been shown in studies to have not been effective and that the decrease in crime, which happened in NY and across the country, was just a coincidence. But there are plenty of studies supporting restorative justice and reducing incarceration rates by shortening length of sentences and reducing prosecution. Lots of studies show lots of things.
