Race Baiter still baits and fails

“Today’s verdict in the Jordan Neely case does not change what we have known to be true in our hearts since the very beginning: Jordan Neely’s life was brutally taken away because of unnecessary vigilantism,” Sharpton said.

“This kind of behavior was inexcusable 40 years ago when Bernhard Goetz opened fire in a subway car, and it remained the case more than a year ago when Daniel Penny took Jordan’s life,” Sharpton said. “Jordan was in the middle of a mental health crisis, but instead of being offered a helping hand, he got an arm around his neck.”

Bernie Goetz was found guilty of third-degree criminal possession of a weapon and nothing else. Even back the jury found him not guilty attempted-murder and first-degree-assault charges and sided with self-defense. This was not acceptable in New York or most places in 1984 and that is why Mr. Goetz’s story was always slanted and even twisted to make it look like he was indeed guilty of defending himself.

Forty years later and even though we still have NYC going after people who stand for the common peace, most of the US have found a reverence for the right to face attackers and come out alive and without the fear of being railroaded by the “justice” system.

Now, we still need to fix the rest of the system so power-hungry prosecutors finally shed the tactic of “The Process is the Punishment.” And I believe that a nice cash penalty paid out of their own pockets drives the point deeply.

Unfortunately for Mr. Penny, the family who all but ignored Jordan Neely and did not give to shots about his issues, are now coming forward to get some cash out of his corpse by the way of a Civil Suit. It is the shitty relatives that come out after death to act like vultures and line their pockets. This also needs a harsh remedy.
