@ Sultan Knish Blog The media is full of pictures of Jordan Neely performing as a Michael Jackson impersonator.
None show him punching a 67-year-old woman in the face as she was leaving a subway station. The vicious thug broke her nose, fractured her orbital bone, and fell leading to “substantial pain to the back of her head.”
That’s
the felony assault case that Neely was still wanted on a year and a
half later when he began terrorizing passengers on a subway train in
downtown Manhattan.
The videos of him moonwalking in the subway
don’t show the time he was arrested for attempted kidnapping after he
was seen dragging a 7-year-old girl down the street.
He got off with only 4 months in jail.
They also don’t show any of his over 40 other arrests or the time he threatened to kill his grandfather.
A neighbor told reporters, “They wouldn’t let him inside sometimes at night because they were afraid of him.”
“Jordan
Neely was murdered,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez tweeted. “Any
possible mental health challenges that Jordan may have been experiencing
were no reason for his life to be taken,” Council Speaker Adrienne
Adams, a pro-crime activist, argued.
“We cannot end up back to a
place where vigilantism is tolerable,” Rev. Al Sharpton warned,
recalling another subway hero, Bernhard Goetz, who stood up to thugs
trying to mug him.
What happened was that Jordan Neely was
attacking and threatening passengers. Five subway riders, in a
notoriously thick-skinned city of commuters,
called 911 and reported the situation.
A caller told the NYPD that Neeley was “attacking people”.
“I don’t mind going to jail and getting life in prison. I’m ready to die,” Neely screamed. “I’ll hurt anyone on this train.”
An
ex-Marine from Queens, a decorated sergeant, got up and put the subway
monster in a loose chokehold. The Marine, as politicians and the media
have repeatedly told us, is white. Another man, a black man, as
politicians and the media have declined to tell us,
held him down and kept his arms in check.
While
Neely struggled and fought, and the men who stood up to protect the
women and children on the subway train from a monster who had a history
of attacking elderly women and young girls, he eventually died. Had
Neely been less determined to hurt passengers on the train, usually the
most vulnerable ones, he would have lived, but he was too full of rage
and hate.
The ex-Marine was taken into custody but then released
even as pro-crime Democrats, eager to have their next George Floyd and
the impetus for nationwide race riots, tried to lynch him.
Speaker
Adrienne Adams claimed that the absence of immediate criminal charges
against the subway hero, “puts on display for the world the double
standards that black people and other people of color continue to face.
Everyone in our city and nation should be reflecting on what this
incident represents and says about us.”
What it says is that
racist pro-crime politicians like Adrienne Adams and prosecutors like DA
Alvin Bragg have turned New York City into a war zone in which
criminals freely terrorize people with no consequences and the only ones
who have to worry about charges are the ordinary heroes who stand up to
them.
In the aftermath of Neely’s deaths, New York politicians
demonstrated that their sympathies are with the criminals, not their
victims.
“I saw Jordan Neely perform his Michael Jackson routine
many times on the A train. He always made people smile,” Manhattan
Borough President Mark Levine tweeted.
Was the 67-year-old woman
smiling when Neely punched her in the face? What about the young girl he
was dragging down the street during his attempted kidnapping?
Does Levine smile when he thinks about what happened to them?
“NYC
is not Gotham. We must not become a city where a mentally ill human
being can be choked to death by a vigilante without consequence. Or
where the killer is justified & cheered,” Comptroller Brad Lander
whined. New York is not Gotham. That fictional city had Batman while the
broken city it’s based on occasionally has a few good men who risk
their lives.
And they get repaid for it with social justice lynch mobs.
“Just
looking at that video, you know its wrong, no one has the right to take
the life of another person,” Gov. Hochul, whose opposition to bail has
filled the streets with violent criminals, said.
The reason that
the government has a monopoly on violence is because it’s supposed to
enforce the law and keep the peace. When blue states and cities like New
York stop doing that, they leave people with no choice except to defend
themselves and others however they can.
The ex-Marine and other
men on that train stood up for the women and girls to whom Neely posed a
threat. They did what none of the politicians like Gov. Hochul, who
claims to be a feminist, Borough President Mark Levine, Council Speaker
Adrienne Adams, Comptroller Brad Lander, never mind AOC, were willing to
do. And they may well pay the price for it.
Black Lives Matter and Pro-Crime Democrats are trying to make Neely the next George Floyd.
DA
Alvin Bragg had tried to charge Jose Alba, a 51-year-old grocery worker
who fought back against a thug, and a garage worker who was shot twice
before taking the gun away and turning it on his attacker, before public
outrage forced him to drop the charges. But those men were minorities
whereas the ex-Marine, as the media hatefully reminds us, is white. And
fair game.
Jose wasn’t going to revive Black Lives Matter and its
nationwide race riots before the next election, a white ex-Marine from
Trump’s borough may be just what the community organizer ordered.
Neely’s death has already become a national story as the media has its
fingers crossed for another round of “mostly peaceful” race riots that
will burn cities to the ground.
Just as the woman whom George
Floyd robbed at gunpoint never made it to all the “I Can’t Breathe”
posters, the 67-year-old woman whom Jordan Neely punched and the young
girl he tried to kidnap won’t show up. Some lives matter and some don’t.
Those of serial predators who unironically impersonate another serial
predator and rack up over 40 arrests matter.
And those of their victims never do.
Pro-Crime
Democrats have turned cities into violent hellholes where the police
are useless, the prosecutors do nothing and the prisons are revolving
doors for the worst monsters around.
And yet there are still a few men willing to stand up to the monsters. Until they’re thrown in jail.

Thank you for reading.
It’s unfortunate so many fail to recognize reality, and worse yet, they attempt to ameliorate that irresponsible behavior by blaming others calling observations of reality …. racism! They're enabling that continued irresponsible behavior. As it stands right now, “All Things Great and Small are Racist.”
Blacks in America have not succeeded as Orientals in America, or Italians and Jews for that matter. And for the same reasons. If you want a successful life you have to get a job, go to work every day, go in on time, leave on time, do the job you’re hired to do, don’t steal from your employer, don’t give your boss six thousand pounds of attitude, marry the person you’re making babies with, pay your bills, treat people with respect, don’t do crime and violence, don’t do drugs, raise your children with that attitude, make sure they go to school and do as best as they can - then you will have lived a successful life.
This really isn’t about race it’s about culture. What can you expect from a culture that has a 70 illegitimacy rate, and then blames whites for all their problems. Why? Because using the theme "everything racist", as the unending excuse they and their enablers in government use to avoid honestly addressing the problems in black culture. If they did, they’d be condemning themselves, and then they’d have to actually act on solutions that do something constructive.
Let’s Have a Serious Conversation About Race - How could anyone, real or not, go on camera and express sympathy for a murderer, at the expense of the murder victim and his family, no less? There’s really only one possibility: the cancerous cultural rot Democrats have forced and enforced on the black community..............Democrats created a failed education system designed to keep poor minorities where they are and ensure government dependence indefinitely, and nothing more. They tolerate a culture of violence, where actually learning is attacked as “acting white” and getting ahead is called “selling out.
”How can you solve a problem when you won’t acknowledge it? You can’t. When black men are calling for other 15 and 16-year-old black men to kill more white people because “y’all will be out at 30, y’all ain’t gonna do life,” where is the condemnation? Where are the politicians and pastors?............Karmelo Anthony murdered a kid, not because “he felt threatened,” as he could have easily walked out of the tent if that were the case. He killed Austin Metcalf because he’d been conditioned by the left to be a victim and to believe that anything he did in response to that victimhood was justified.
Andrea Widburg ran this piece on April 21, 2024, A wheelchair-bound girl is beaten, and we need to talk about it, and this video is really disturbing showing the merciless beating of a poor young black crippled wheelchair bound girl being beaten, and done so by other black girls. Name one nation anywhere on the planet that's controlled by blacks where this is any different.
"Today South Africa experiences high levels of poverty, crime and many vital public services barely work."
Since 1950 there have been 492 coups in the world, some successful, some not. But 220 of those were carried out in Africa. There are 54 nations in Africa, and 45 of them have had coups in that time period. Of those coups that are successful; most of them only hold power for less than seven years.
Racism is a Corrupt Scam Destroying America. The number one problem for blacks in America is other blacks. Not whites, not discrimination, not past history, it’s black attitudes and liberal solutions that excuse a lack personal responsibility.
