Medical discharge would still be a Marine. Penny was not dishonorably discharged, and I have no idea where you would get the idea he was. You obvious are clueless about the military so just stop posting. |
I can’t believe anyone would defend putting someone in a chokehold for 15 minutes. It’s obvious Penny has his own mental issues, but all America can see is that the white ex-Marine neutralized the “scary” black man. |
How do you know he was in a chokehold for 15 minutes? I'm not sure that is correct. Whether he used excessive force in applying the chokehold is absolutely an issue in this case, regardless of the duration. |
How much was collected for both sides? Didn’t follow that one |
Only if it doesn’t cost them anything lol |
The video shows the the chokehold was careful and that he let go when Neely passed out. But whether Penny held the chokehold too long or not, whether Neely's physical state was debilitated from drug use and hard living or not, Penny may well have been entirely justified, given the threats that Neely is now being reported as having been making. A jury will decide. |
It looked to me from the video that the guy who stepped in to help hold Neely's arms down was black. |
“ Neely was held in the chokehold for about 15 minutes, Vazquez said. The video showed two other subway riders appearing to help restrain him.” https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna84117 |
Clearly he was doing his part to uphold White solidarity... |
Does that even make sense? How long does it take between stations? |
I asked because, more recently, it has been reported that 15 minutes may have been the police response time, not the time Neely was in a chokehold. It's interesting how people believe that witness's account when it comes to how long the chokehold lasted but not when he said that Penny would have been a hero if the police had gotten there sooner. |
That was the other reason I was asking about the 15 minutes. Some people have said that there aren't 15 minutes between stations and the witnesses have described Neely's actions continuing for some time before Penny intervened. |
A journalist that witnessed and recorded the incident on the F train gives an interview of what really happened.
