The Daniel Penny Incident: A Tragic Consequence of NYC’s Failure to Address Mental Health Issues and Enforce Existing Laws

The Daniel Penny Incident: A Tragic Consequence of NYC’s Failure to Address Mental Health Issues and Enforce Existing Laws

A tragic incident occurred at the Broadway-Lafayette station in Manhattan, where 30-year-old Jordan Neely died after being put into a chokehold by 24-year-old rider Daniel Penny. Neely, a homeless man with a history of violent and erratic behavior due to untreated mental illness, had been threatening passengers aboard the train. The case has sparked a heated debate on whether Penny’s actions were justifiable self-defense or a vigilante act.

While many quickly judge Penny, examining the underlying systemic issues that led to this tragic event is crucial. New York City has long failed to enforce existing laws and provide adequate assistance to its mentally unstable citizens. This failure, coupled with the city’s inability to address the mental health crisis, has created a volatile environment that led to Neely’s untimely death.

As a former Marine, Penny has been trained to handle high-pressure situations and protect himself and others. While some argue that his military training could hurt his self-defense claim, it is essential to consider the context in which he was forced to act. Neely’s aggressive behavior and threats to passengers left them fearing for their safety. Faced with a dangerous situation, Penny intervened, likely believing that he was acting in the best interests of everyone on the train.

The case highlights the urgent need for New York City to address its mental health crisis and provide proper support to individuals suffering from mental illnesses. Neely’s documented history of mental instability should have prompted intervention from the city and mental health professionals. Instead, he was left to struggle on the streets, culminating in this tragic event.

The debate surrounding Penny’s actions should not overshadow the broader issue of mental health support in New York City. This tragic accident should catalyze change, prompting a renewed commitment to addressing the mental health crisis in the city’s streets and subways. Elected officials must take proactive steps to address this crisis, ensuring that those with mental illness receive the help they desperately need.

Furthermore, this incident underlines the need for improved enforcement of existing laws, particularly those aimed at ensuring the safety and well-being of the city’s most vulnerable residents. By enforcing these laws and providing adequate mental health support, New York City can prevent similar tragedies from occurring in the future.

In conclusion, while Daniel Penny’s actions have been the subject of intense scrutiny and debate, it is essential to recognize the broader systemic failures that contributed to this tragic incident. New York City’s failure to enforce existing laws and provide adequate support to its mentally unstable citizens has created a dangerous environment for all its residents. Rather than focusing solely on Penny’s actions, we must address these underlying issues and create a safer and more supportive city for all.

Biden’s Age: A Key Factor for Re-election

Biden’s Age: A Key Factor for Re-election

The 2024 presidential election is approaching, and a crucial question emerges: is President Biden too old to run for re-election? Despite his accomplishments and the Democrats’ strong showing in the midterms, concerns about Biden’s age continue to surface. In fact, only 37% of Democrats want the incumbent to run for re-election, according to a recent Associated Press poll.

In focus groups conducted by Republican strategist Sarah Longwell, swing voters who shifted from Trump to Biden expressed their worries about the President’s age. Longwell notes that these concerns arise unprompted. At 80 years old, Biden would be 82 at the start of a second term and 86 at its end.

Biden’s age has long been a target for his political opponents. Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley’s 2024 presidential campaign kick-off speech called for “mandatory mental competency tests” for candidates over 75. Nevertheless, the President’s response to these concerns is, “Watch me.” White House communications director Kate Bedingfield believes that Biden’s experience and wisdom bring stability and strong leadership to a volatile world.

While President Biden’s annual physical revealed that he is fit for duty, concerns about his cognitive functioning persist. S. Jay Olshansky, a public health professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, acknowledges that the age question is “absolutely” a fair one. Risks are high for something going wrong in that age range.

However, Biden’s team views the next election as a choice rather than a referendum. They believe that Biden voters worried about age will be more concerned about the return of Trump or Trumpism than Biden’s advanced years. Even in Sarah Longwell’s focus group, all nine participants raised their hand for Biden when asked who they would support in a potential Biden-Trump rematch.

Despite the President’s healthy physical state and the potential for a stable and experienced leader, the age factor remains a critical consideration for Biden’s re-election campaign. As the 2024 race heats, the question of how old is too old for a president will undoubtedly continue to shape the political landscape. In the end, it will be up to the voters to decide if Biden’s age is a concern that outweighs the alternative.

U.S. Report Found It Plausible Covid-19 Leaked From Wuhan Lab

U.S. Report Found It Plausible Covid-19 Leaked From Wuhan Lab

I am not an epidemiologist, so my word is not final on this subject however, I will point out that with every major natural virus in the last 20 or so years, by the time the virus was with us for 12 months we had samples of the virus leaping from bat to animal to human. Not in this case, we still do not know a natural way that this virus could have infected Patient 0. The longer that it takes to find the path of animal to human, the more likely it is that it was lab to human.

According to Dr. Stephen Quay, and Richard Muller, the Covid-19 pathogen has a genetic footprint that has never been observed in a natural coronavirus making it ALMOST impossible that the virus could have come from purely natural origins. Quay is the founder of US-based biopharmaceutical company Atossa Therapeutics, while Muller is a Physics professor at the University of California Berkeley.

Therefore, every passing day, week, and month makes it more likely that this is a human-caused calamity and it is the single biggest, most deadly, and most economically devastating human mistake EVER.

I am not contending that China maliciously released the virus upon its own population. I do believe that China knows for a fact the true origins of the virus and they should likely be held responsible for the trillions of dollars of harm they have caused to the world population.

Congressman Chabot: Do Not Vote To Overturn The Decision By The States

Congressman Chabot: Do Not Vote To Overturn The Decision By The States

An open note to my Congressman Rep. Steve Chabot.

2020 was the first year that I have ever voted for you in your entire career. I didn’t vote for you because I admire you (I don’t), I simply voted for you because your Democratic opponent refused to not vote for Nancy Pelosi as the Speaker of the House. Don’t make me your political enemy in 2022 by trying to overturn the essence of federalism and the power of the individual states in their Constitutional role of checks and balances in the selection of our POTUS.

Efforts to reject the votes of the Electoral College and sow doubt about Joe Biden’s victory (whom I did not vote for and do not think will be a good POTUS) strike at the foundation of our republic. It is difficult to conceive of a more anti-democratic and anti-conservative act than a federal intervention to overturn the results of state-certified elections and disenfranchise millions of Americans. The fact that this effort will fail does not mean it will not do significant damage to American democracy.

I promise that if you vote to not accept the state’s electoral votes, I will actively support your strongest opponent in 2022 and will work to make sure you do not win re-election.

Mr. Biden will be a very poor POTUS, but he won this election. It is now your job to keep him in check using the prescribed Constitutional powers and to recruit and groom a qualified replacement in 2024. It is not your job to be at war with the decision of the various states.
