Maybe I’m Amazed
By Mitch Berg
Daniel Penny acquitted on the last of his charges:
Penny was cleared of criminally negligent homicide in Neely’s death. A more serious manslaughter charge was dismissed earlier in deliberations because the jury deadlocked on that count.
I suspect there’s a critical mass of New Yorkers of all races who’ve had enough of the crime wave engulfing the city – much as they seemed to be during the Bernhard Goetz episode, 40 years ago, the last time NYC was mired in Democrat-coddled criminality
Of course, this time not everyone agrees who the good guys and bad guys are:
Barack Obama’s legacy is a gift that will keep on giving for a generation, at best.

As Jon Gabriel said back then, “The best part about the Obama era is all the racial healing”.

Sadly, Daniel Penny will have to be looking over his shoulder for a long time. Speaking of lynching….

Social media supporters were advising Penny to get out of Dodge to a red state, fast.

BTW;
Isn’t it just par for the course that Neely’s dad, who was largely out of his life, refused to get him help, despite 42 arrests, sees a big pay day off of his dead son? I wish jurors would consider that in awarding monetary payments to grifters like him. Were I on a jury deliberating a case like that, there would be a hung jury or hopefully, a not guilty of wrongful death verdict.

Justice will be a good look at the files of the prosecution team to see why things were done as they were. I have seen some good analysis that argues that the top charge of manslaughter was not warranted because he clearly did not intend to kill, or think that he had.
And yes, with that very identifiable mug, he’d better watch out, and he’s got a nasty civil case coming. Not out of the woods yet, to be sure.
