As we told you earlier, a Manhattan jury has found Daniel Penny not guilty of negligent homicide in the death of Jordan Neely.
This is how the Associated Press framed that breaking news:
BREAKING: Daniel Penny, the veteran who used a chokehold on subway rider Jordan Neely, has been acquitted in Neely's death. https://t.co/IgpbkV2w7s
— The Associated Press (@AP) December 9, 2024
There was a more accurate way to describe Neely and the AP wasn't about to go there, opting for these words instead:
The AP is such a disgrace. “A subway rider.” Neely was a career criminal who was threatening to kill people on the subway. AP deliberately doesn’t get this basic fact correct. https://t.co/pwCO0jfGw3

“subway rider” ?

If you ever wonder why people tuned out legacy media, just frame this post and hang it in your offices.
The Associated Press would like people to think Neely was just sitting there minding his own business when Penny put him in a choke hold.
Just an innocent subway rider, that’s all. https://t.co/nfQ65SUzHm

That's what they'd like you to believe.
“subway rider”

Jordan Neely terrorized and threatened people and had three unprovoked assaults on women. GFY
"Subway rider" ???

Try "homeless, drug addicted, 42x arrested criminal that was threatening to kill subway riders"
This is exactly why the American people hate them. https://t.co/VQsmFA5cww
*who protected his fellow subway riders by subduing an erratic, disturbed homeless man who was threatening to attack everyone on board

The AP's story went a little further, describing Neely as an "agitated subway rider":
A Marine veteran who used a chokehold on an agitated subway rider was acquitted on Monday in a death that became a prism for differing views about public safety, valor and vigilantism.
A Manhattan jury delivered the verdict, clearing Daniel Penny of criminally negligent homicide in Jordan Neely’s death last year. A more serious manslaughter charge was dismissed earlier in deliberations because the jury deadlocked on that count.
"Differing views about public safety." Yeah, the side that believes in public safety and the side that wants criminals and crazies roaming the streets.
AP never has the courage to actually tell the truth. Hero steps up to protect subway riders from man attacking and threatening women, children and elderly and politically motivated charges fail to convict him because jurors saw through the DA lies. https://t.co/QrN1F77SLz
