Last night, Marine veteran Daniel Penny gave his first post-acquittal interview to Fox News’ Judge Jeanine Pirro. He demolished the false narrative that he’s a racist who targeted and strangled a black man. Penny said, “He was threatening to kill people,” adding:

"I didn't want any attention or praise, and I still don't. The guilt I would've felt if someone did get hurt, if he did do what he was threatening to do, I would never be able to live with myself. And 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."

We don’t say this often, but hats’ off to New Yorkers. They deserve credit both for the jurors who refused to buy Alvin Bragg’s racialized, politicized prosecution of Penny, and also for having voted out of office “Squad” member Jamaal Bowman. Bowman took time out from disrupting Congress by setting off false fire alarms to pen an unhinged racist screed about the Penny verdict. It’s being met with the negative reactions it richly deserves.

Of course, Bowman isn’t the only leftist trying to rewrite the facts of this case to turn it into a “white supremacist” killing (they conveniently ignore the fact that two minority men helped Penny hold down subway attacker Jordan Neely, who was threatening passengers of various races.) Elizabeth Stauffer at Legal Insurrection has a good article on the actual facts of the case and some of the hyperbolic rhetoric that’s being spewed in an attempt to gin up divisions and racial violence.

We also shouldn’t ignore the slanted media outlets like the New York Times that are trying to depict Neely as a “subway rider,” “street performer” or “Michael Jackson impersonator,” leaving out inconvenient details such as that he was a mentally-unbalanced drug addict with a lengthy criminal record who was threatening to kill the other passengers.

So New Yorkers, if you want to keep up your winning streak, here are your next two moves: Vote out Alvin Bragg and cancel your subscriptions to the New York Times.
