Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez knows a thing or two about murder; after all, remember when she told Sen. Ted Cruz that he “almost had me murdered”? AOC doesn’t need to wait for an investigation, or a trial, or anything else to know the man who allegedly killed Jordan Neely on the New York subway is a murderer. Not only was Neely murdered, but he was houseless and crying for food — in Democrat-run New York City where violence in the subways is the city’s “brand.” Anyway, Neely’s murderer has been protected by passive headlines, like the New York Times’:
A 30-year-old man died on the subway on Monday after he was placed in a chokehold, the police said. Witnesses said the victim had been acting in a “hostile and erratic manner” toward passengers on the train when the other man, 24, moved to restrain him. https://t.co/7DhtyFaXIj

At least the Times didn’t make race the subject of its headline like the Washington Post did.
Jordan Neely was murdered.
But bc Jordan was houseless and crying for food in a time when the city is raising rents and stripping services to militarize itself while many in power demonize the poor, the murderer gets protected w/ passive headlines + no charges.
It’s disgusting. https://t.co/YJeQp9bbgE

NBD just a congressman ignoring many salient facts to publicly accuse someone of "murder." https://t.co/EcsRBq94aq

To be clear, I'm open to the idea that when it's fully investigated the guy may be charged with something as a result of the guy's death, but murder?
— Mark Hemingway (@Heminator) May 3, 2023
It's weird people with long violent criminal records like Jordan Neely and George Floyd ALWAYS get the benefit of the doubt. Nothing they did matters.
But a Marine who served his country and has no criminal record? He can instantly be judged as being guilty of murder by AOC.

The communist does not want us to defend ourselves from the mentally ill. We are supposed to let them terrorize us on subway trains. Sad this poor fellow died. Doesn’t seem that was the intent. Looked like the guy just wanted to restrain him from terrorizing the people in the…

He was a recidivist with 44 prior arrests for assault, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, fare evasion, and he was openly threatening violence to anyone he could. He was not a hero. He was not a martyr. Stop it.

The guy had 40+ prior arrests, had a warrant out for felony assault, and had previously assaulted the Marine who subdued him.
But the media is referring to him as a “Michael Jackson impersonator” https://t.co/768CMv8FdC

Spare us the crocodile tears, you champagne-socialist rabble-rouser. You don't care how many people die on America's streets, or who they are, as long as you can exploit those deaths to raise money and stoke even more violence.

Jordan Neely had been previously arrested 44 times and was by all accounts a menace to society who was in the middle of harassing and threatening people on his way to arrest #45.
The legal system should have removed him from society, and a non-Soros funded DA might have.

There is a legal definition of murder, and this certainly isn't it.

Curious that you believe people can feel unsafe when they hear some words, but others can’t when they see a man that represents a physical threat.

The subway system is not a rolling performance venue, a candy store, a fruit market, a comfort inn, a huge urinal, or a crisis center.
It is mean’t to get people (who pay) around NYC and to/from work. Promises were made…https://t.co/D7zU3fTFF2 pic.twitter.com/HpPH0gm6et— 2Can (@projectboy229) May 3, 2023
Why are we referring to a person who was acting in a "hostile and erratic manner" as a victim? I don't know the full context, because you have intentionally withheld it, but it seems like a scared passenger attempted to stop a hostile train rider and accidentally took it too far.

.@abcnews: "He'd been arrested more than 40 times on the subway for crimes like public lewdness and assaulting a senior citizen. According to sources, witnesses to his final moments told police Neely was erratic and hostile"

AOC represents New York, which is completely Democrat-controlled, and cites homelessness, hunger, a lack of city services, and high rents as the problem that forced Neely to act as he reportedly did on the subway. If he’d been arrested 44 times, why wasn’t he in jail?
