We touched on this in an earlier post in which Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez asked us all to pretend that Jordan Neely was our son, much as President Barack Obama said that if he had a son, he’d look like Trayvon Martin. The Neely family wasted no time in securing an attorney to put out press releases, so we know that Neely had a family. Maybe one of those family members could have taken Neely in and given him something to eat, but instead, he chose to take his case to the New York City subway.
CBS News reports that the Neely family’s lawyer said that no one on the subway asked Neely how they could help him. That’s probably because they were afraid of him because he was yelling about not being afraid to die. Even AOC said when that happens, you stare at your shoes and hope he moves on.
"No one on that train asked Jordan, 'What's wrong? How can I help you?' He was choked to death instead," Jordan Neely's family attorney tells reporters. pic.twitter.com/UTxR9yreR4

Where was this family for the last 10 years?

Where were these jagoffs during his 44 arrests?

Where were THEY when their family member needed help and ultimately became a threat to the public? 🤔

Did his family ever ask that? Cuz he’d been homeless and violent for a while.

K. But did anyone in his family ask him those 2 questions?

"No one in his own family asked Jordan, 'What's wrong? How can I help you?' He was abandoned to the streets," Jordan Neely's family attorney should have told reporters.

Has been roaming the trains in NYC for years harassing people. Why didn’t his family help him?

Guy was arrested 44 times for multiple violent crimes…..he goes nuts in a train car and a person minding his own business is supposed to reason with him? NO!!! Actions have consequences. I’m so tired of deranged criminals being normalized.

I am shocked that the people he threatened did not want to help him.

And Neely never asked for help before he attacked people.
It’s not my responsibility to ask about motive in the middle of an attack.

Was Jordan Neely's family attorney there that night trying to help him when the Marine got in his way?

That could be really dangerous for someone to do that.

This editor has been to New York City only a handful of times but remembers a homeless man pushing a shopping cart getting really aggressive with a man who was trying to give him a new pair of shoes.
If he had a family, why was he homeless?

Apparently they kicked him out when he threatened to kill them.

Sunny Hostin said he was just asking for food. She also said she rides the train every day, so if you’re a wack job looking for a meal, find Sunny, she’ll be happy to take you for a bite. @sunny pic.twitter.com/P31BSg30bF

It’s just like all the looters in the big blue cities … they’re just stealing bread to eat.
