    Protesters Disrupt NYC Subway Service, Clash With Police

    DEVELOPING STORY: Protests have turned violent in New York City where hundreds of thugs clashed with police and shut down the subway system. Video, which you can watch below, show a number of individuals physically blocking trains by standing on the tracks. It's a very dangerous situation. Police have made numerous arrests. The protests are in response to the death of Jordan Neely, a career criminal who died after he was put in a chokehold on the subway by a U.S. Marine veteran. Neely had been making terroristic threats when the Marine neutralized the threat. This page will be updated throughout the night.

    This thing might turn into another George Floyd riot. Instead of a white cop killing a black man by means of suffocation, you have a white ex-marine doing the same thing.
    If you put God First, you have Him at Last.

    If the guy was white and the marine black, you wouldn't hear about it after a couple of days if you heard about it at all. Or he would be painted as a hero for protecting them on the subway. The nature of the times.

    I'm praying for the ex-Marine. He did the right thing!
    When your praise match your prayers, the answer will come.

    Daniel Penny, a US Marine veteran who held homeless street artist Jordan Neely in a fatal chokehold on a New York subway train earlier this month, has surrendered to police to face a second-degree manslaughter charge.

    Penny left the police precinct in handcuffs and is expected to be arraigned later Friday.

    "We believe that the conviction should be for murder because that was intentional," said Neely family attorney Lennon Edwards on Friday morning.

    "At some point, when people are screaming, 'Let him go, you're going to kill him'... He could've chosen to let him go, but he didn't. And what did he think would happen if he didn't? He had to know he would die. He had to," said another Neely family attorney, Donte Mills, as Neely's father and aunt stood by.

    Penny has "his head held up high" and is dealing with the situation "with the sort of integrity and honor that is characteristic of who he is" and "of his honorable service," said his attorney Thomas Kenniff.

    On Thursday, a spokesperson for the Manhattan District Attorney's Office said, "We cannot provide any additional information until he has been arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court, which we expect to take place (Friday)."

    Penny's attorneys said they are confident he will be "fully absolved of any wrongdoing."

    "He risked his own life and safety, for the good of his fellow passengers. The unfortunate result was the unintended and unforeseen death of Mr. Neely," Penny's attorneys said in a statement Thursday.

    Todd Starnes had this to say about that:

    "The reason why Penny is being charged is to prevent Black Lives Matter activists and Democrats from burning down the city."

    No, I think this is just par for the course. They sent that bodega owner to Rikers Island for very obviously defending himself. New York is bizzaro world. And now we all understand why people take videos and not step in to help. Why help when it could send you to jail?

    That may not be such a bad thing.
