After the subway death in New York City of a man who had been previously arrested more than 40 times, many Democrats sought to turn what happened into another massive protest. Rep. Ayanna Pressley called it a “lynching,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez did her race-baiting thing, and of course the media’s doing its best to foment racial division.
Reuters has framed what happened to make it sound like a former U.S. Marine decided to kill a “fellow subway passenger” for no particular reason:

Protesters, angry over the lack of city support for those suffering from mental illness and homelessness, rallied in NYC after a former US Marine placed a fellow subway passenger Jordan Neely in a chokehold that killed him https://t.co/oRuvutcdLY pic.twitter.com/9jNURq1tIl

The lib media is flaming garbage and the size of that fire just increased with that particular framing:
“Fellow subway passenger” like he was just minding his business. 🙄

“Journalism,” Reuters-style!
At least Pressley, AOC and others can take comfort in knowing they’re on the same side as people repping the communists:
Love the CPUSA sign right front and center. https://t.co/jiVZ6BT9HK

Reuters reported that the Young Communist League wants the former Marine charged:
Earlier on Friday, the New York Young Communist League protested at the Manhattan District Attorney’s office demanding that Penny be charged. Protesters also demanded an investigation of the police who, according to media, let him go after questioning him.
Otherwise it appeared that the media outnumbered the actual “protesters”:
I see 12 "protesters" and 30 reporters 🤷♂️

The media’s working hard to try and pump up the number of protesters.
