You can’t go around threatening violence and throwing stuff at people. I had a guy road rage at me and rushed my vehicle. I was scared. If I had been armed, I probably would have shot him.

Who do you think that is? nt Phoenix61 Dec 2024 #3

Perhaps it's a vague reply to a vague reply... nt yagotme Dec 2024 #4

Nothing vague about it. Most people have no difficulty understanding it. niyad Dec 2024 #5

You were not specific about all those involved. Therefore, vague. yagotme Dec 2024 #7

Do keep trying. This is most amusing. niyad Dec 2024 #9

I'm glad that I could entertain you in this manner. yagotme Dec 2024 #10

Come on, people. Have some lost their fucking minds? brush Dec 2024 #6

At least one of the individuals that assisted Penny in the videos I have seen yagotme Dec 2024 #8

As I said, Penny caused the death of an unarmed person who had touched no one. brush Dec 2024 #11

You and I will have to disagree, then. yagotme Dec 2024 #12

Ridiculous. A right of self-defense does not include choking someone who has not touched you and is unarmed... brush Dec 2024 #13

Your statement was an absolute... yagotme Dec 2024 #16

I don't think you've lived in NYC. If did you'd know the rules upon encountring a crazy person on the subway. brush Dec 2024 #23

I like the Will Smith rule: yagotme Dec 2024 #26

Ya just don't know do ya? Too many people are packin' nowadays. Best mind you business and/or move to the next car. brush Dec 2024 #31

No, I'm not from NY. yagotme Dec 2024 #32

Pls. common sense tells you not to choke someone for six minutes who hasn't touched you. brush Dec 2024 #34

Got it. Just walk away as it's not your problem. MichMan Dec 2024 #140

That is no justification for murder Cirsium Dec 2024 #128

Read the whole thread. yagotme Dec 2024 #142

So what? Cirsium Dec 2024 #146

If you want to arrest, charge, prosecute, and mete out punishment to someone in NY, yagotme Dec 2024 #150

irrelevant Cirsium Dec 2024 #164

We're discussing an incident in NY. yagotme Dec 2024 #169

Give it a rest. Read posts 127 and 131. You have no idea how racist some in NY are. brush Dec 2024 #133

"Some" doesn't equal "all". yagotme Dec 2024 #143

Stop defending racism. White male privileged Penny caused the death of a Black man... brush Dec 2024 #145

There WERE charges. 2, total. He was found innocent by a jury of his peers. yagotme Dec 2024 #148

Eyes open please. It's obvious racism. Wake up. brush Dec 2024 #153

Again, I ask, show me where it is patently, obvious racism. yagotme Dec 2024 #154

No matter what is shown, posted or referred to you, you come back with the same stuff. brush Dec 2024 #155

You have NEVER come back with anything solid about this being racist, other than the color difference. yagotme Dec 2024 #156

Be who you are. Watch this video. Hear how the cops treated Penn buddy-buddy. brush Dec 2024 #157

I guess the POC witnesses were racist, too. yagotme Dec 2024 #158

Be who you are. Did you vote for trump? brush Dec 2024 #159

Should I even answer? yagotme Dec 2024 #160

I noticed you didn't answer if you voted for trump. brush Dec 2024 #161

I did, in a way, if you were paying attention. nt yagotme Dec 2024 #162

I suspected as much, so hardcore defending obvious racism. brush Dec 2024 #167

I suspected you suspected, thus, the answer I gave. yagotme Dec 2024 #171

It is New York Keepthesoulalive Dec 2024 #127

I know exactly what you're talking about. I remember "Guiliani Time" and the racist cop/... brush Dec 2024 #131

Stop and frisk Keepthesoulalive Dec 2024 #134

Yep, all of that. And we could go on and on and on. brush Dec 2024 #135

So you're not allowed to respond if threatened? DenaliDemocrat Dec 2024 #14

Do ya understand plain English? Penny was not touched. The guy was unarmed. brush Dec 2024 #18

He was charged SickOfTheOnePct Dec 2024 #80

I heard. So it's open season on disoriented, unarmed people... brush Dec 2024 #81

We'll have to agree to disagree SickOfTheOnePct Dec 2024 #84

You're correct. Bit the dead guy's family feels great about i... brush Dec 2024 #95

Why BeerBarrelPolka Dec 2024 #97

Oh please. Blame others but not the guy who caused the death. brush Dec 2024 #99

You're BeerBarrelPolka Dec 2024 #102

And you're the one who blamed them instead of the guy who caused Neely's death. brush Dec 2024 #103

Maybe BeerBarrelPolka Dec 2024 #104

You would have shot him? Guess who's in the same boat you're in? brush Dec 2024 #90

If you come screaming at my car DenaliDemocrat Dec 2024 #100

Your car was not able to move? brush Dec 2024 #101

My state has No Duty to Retreat DenaliDemocrat Dec 2024 #105

It's might be just me but I'd rather move instead of blasting away at someone. brush Dec 2024 #107

I can't move DenaliDemocrat Dec 2024 #109

I meant move in your car. brush Dec 2024 #111

You have an excuse for everything DenaliDemocrat Dec 2024 #113

Sorry, we're not on the same wave length. I don't want complexities in life involving shooting someone. brush Dec 2024 #114

Yeah - you don't HAVE to stand in harm's way DenaliDemocrat Dec 2024 #115

Dude, I'm not judging you. I just asked if you could move away by driving away. brush Dec 2024 #116

Uh huh DenaliDemocrat Dec 2024 #117

What are you so angry and bitter about? I don't know you... brush Dec 2024 #118

Why are you casting negative motives on this poster? IF you were in a car even if disabled could you move? Maybe you... electric_blue68 Dec 2024 #124

Again DenaliDemocrat Dec 2024 #168

Word to the wise, unwise really. Have enough sense to not choke someone for 6 minutes. brush Dec 2024 #94

Thanks Cirsium Dec 2024 #129

Thank you. I have to push back. The guy getting applauded and getting off Scott free is just too much. brush Dec 2024 #132

I appreciate what you are doing Cirsium Dec 2024 #149

Thank you. Glad there are some who know injustice when it stares them in the face. brush Dec 2024 #152

"Touched" is not the standard FBaggins Dec 2024 #92

Have enough sense to not choke someone for 6 minutes. brush Dec 2024 #93

Sounds like reasonable advice FBaggins Dec 2024 #96

Not being guilty of a crime? He caused the death of another human being. brush Dec 2024 #98

See post 23. There are subway rules NYers know. brush Dec 2024 #27

So, violation of unwritten subway rules by non-NY'ers should lead to imprisonment. yagotme Dec 2024 #33

You're not making sense. If you kill someone who has not touched you... brush Dec 2024 #36

You're missing the point. yagotme Dec 2024 #40

Ok, Ms/Mr/Miss/Mrs police officer, show me that law in the books where that's Ok. brush Dec 2024 #42

Here ya go, Art 35 NY Penal Law. yagotme Dec 2024 #45

Nope,no one was touched. Guy was unarmed. brush Dec 2024 #47

Here's the paragraph again, since it appears you didn't read it. yagotme Dec 2024 #51

A-h-h-h-h-h sorry. Neely was not trying to commit larceny. brush Dec 2024 #57

Is reading the bottom half of a paragraph the way you make opinions? yagotme Dec 2024 #59

Be clear, what knocks my argument out of the water? brush Dec 2024 #63

Or if the person you are detaining is threatening bodily harm to other individuals, that may not be yagotme Dec 2024 #65

The case is over. Penny got away with killing him. brush Dec 2024 #67

Yes, I'm aware you see racism everywhere. yagotme Dec 2024 #68

Ok. Yelling you're hungry is threatening bodily harm now? brush Dec 2024 #71

You must have missed the part about witnesses claiming that he was THREATENING them. yagotme Dec 2024 #72

I'd like to know what was said besides yelling he was hungry? Do you that? brush Dec 2024 #73

Here's some: (watch video) yagotme Dec 2024 #74

Yes BeerBarrelPolka Dec 2024 #43

I disagree. NYers know to not engage with crazy passengers on the subway. brush Dec 2024 #52

The jury acquitted him on the lessor charge; the case is over MichMan Dec 2024 #56

That's foul. Open season on unarmed and disoriented and apparenty insane people. brush Dec 2024 #60

Well, after posting a paragraph from the law, and posting it again, yagotme Dec 2024 #53

Why do you think the faint pulse detected has any relevance? Quiet Em Dec 2024 #44

Because, if the true intent had been to kill Neely, Penny was doing a horrible job. yagotme Dec 2024 #46

Penny was successful in killing him. Quiet Em Dec 2024 #49

Technically, he was alive when Penny walked away. yagotme Dec 2024 #54
