🤝😮 Fundraiser Rally for Daniel Penny: DeSantis Shows His Support

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is fundraising for New York City Marine veteran Daniel Penny, who is currently facing criminal charges for the death of Jordan Neely, a homeless man who, according to witnesses and prosecutors, was “making threats and intimidating people” on the subway. 🚇

Penny, 24, was taken to court in Manhattan on Friday and now faces charges of second-degree manslaughter after he put Neely in a lethal chokehold. Defense lawyers argue that Penny acted in self-defense and was protecting other passengers who were being threatened. ⚖️🛡️

On Friday, DeSantis shared a fundraiser for Penny’s legal defense, labeling him a “Good Samaritan” and criticizing Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg as a “pro-criminal” and “Soros-Funded” prosecutor. 🤔🙅‍♂️

“We have to defeat the Soros-Funded DAs, stop the Left’s pro-criminal agenda, and reclaim the streets for law-abiding citizens. We stand with Good Samaritans like Daniel Penny. Let’s show this Marine… America’s got his back,” DeSantis tweeted. 📣🇺🇸

The tweet contained a link to a GiveSendGo page set up by Raiser & Kenniff, P.C., the law firm representing Penny. 💵🙏

“Funds are being raised to pay for Mr. Penny’s legal fees resulting from any criminal charges filed and any future civil lawsuits that may arise, as well as expenses related to his defense,” the fundraiser description reads. “All contributions are greatly appreciated. Any proceeds collected that exceed the necessary amount to cover Mr. Penny’s legal defense will be donated to a mental health advocacy program in New York City.” 🧠💕

At the time of publication, the GiveSendGo campaign had raised $853,213, with more than 18,000 donors contributing. 🤯👏

On May 1, Penny, a 24-year-old Marine veteran and college student, put 30-year-old Jordan Neely in a lethal chokehold following an altercation on a northbound F train. Neely was allegedly threatening passengers on the subway and having a mental breakdown. He was reportedly yelling and pacing back and forth when Penny intervened, tackling him to the ground and putting him in a chokehold, according to witnesses and police. 🚨🚔

The city’s medical examiner determined that Neely died from the compression against his neck. 🩺💔

Following the incident, Penny’s attorneys stated that Neely had a long history of violent and erratic behavior, which was reportedly the result of ongoing and untreated mental illness. 📜😕

“When Mr. Penny, a decorated Marine veteran, stepped in to protect himself and his fellow New Yorkers, his safety was not guaranteed,” Penny’s attorney Steve Raiser said. “He risked his own life and safety for the benefit of his fellow passengers. The unfortunate outcome was the unintended and unforeseen death of Mr. Neely. We are confident that once all the facts and circumstances surrounding this tragic incident are revealed, Mr. Penny will be completely absolved of any wrongdoing.” 💪🙇‍♂️

In response to the statement from Penny’s attorneys, Neely’s family argued that it did not include an apology or an expression of regret, but rather a “character assassination and a clear example of why he believed he had the right to take Jordan’s life.” 😢💔

“The first paragraph talks about how ‘good’ he is and the next paragraph talks about how ‘bad ‘Jordan was, in an effort to convince us that Jordan’s life was ‘worthless,'” Neely’s family attorneys Donte Mills and Lennon Edwards said. “The truth is, he knew nothing about Jordan’s history when he intentionally wrapped his arms around Jordan’s neck, and squeezed and kept squeezing.” 🤬👊

The attorneys also mentioned in the last paragraph that Penny suggests that the public shows indifference towards people like Jordan.

“It is clear that he is the one who acted indifferently, both at the time he killed Jordan and now in his first public message,” the attorneys said. “He never attempted to help him at all. In short, his actions on the train, and now his words, show why he needs to be in prison.” 🏛️🔒

Prosecutors stated that Penny has been fully cooperative with the police and the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office. 👮‍♂️📝

A judge allowed Penny’s release on Friday on a $100,000 bond signed off by the prosecutors and secured by bondsman Ira Judelson. 💸💰

Penny faces a maximum of five to 15 years in prison if convicted. He is due back in court in July. ⏳⚖️
