From Newsmax.com (Dec. 10):
Marine veteran Daniel Penny, despite being prosecuted by leftist Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, saidTuesday he has no regrets about trying to help others on the subway in May 2023.
Penny was acquitted on Monday of criminally negligent homicide in the death of Jordan Neely, who witnesses said was threatening people on the train.
"I'm not a confrontational person. This type of thing is very uncomfortable — all this attention and limelight is very uncomfortable, and I would prefer without it. I don't want any type of attention or praise, and I still don't," Penny told Fox News.
Penny added that he knew he needed to step in to protect people on the subway from Neely.
"The guilt I would have felt if someone did get hurt, if he [Neely] did do what he was threatening to do, I would never be able to live with myself. I'll take a million court appearances and people calling me names and people hating me just to keep one of those people from getting hurt or killed," Penny said. [source]
Good for him! I'm glad he was found not guilty. He should never have been prosecuted. Society needs to encourage good Smartian protectors not to discourage them.
