On May 1, Jordan Neely, a mentally ill homeless man, was choked to death by subway rider and former Marine Daniel Penny. It is a tragic and controversial case that has divided the country. Many on the left are calling for Penny to be charged with murder after he put Neely into a fatal chokehold for behaving in a threatening, and possibly dangerous, manner. On the right, many are hailing Penny, who was charged with manslaughter on Friday, as a hero for protecting his fellow passengers at a time when crime in the city is on the rise.
