Would you intervene like Penny did on the subway???

[Unkotare]

Maybe. Or maybe not. The perp would find out harshly.

He might get saddled with the co-pay from your HMO. That would show him!

I used to head to the Canadian wilderness in my younger days. Now I'm too old do I'm stuck here.

Boy you sure don't like this american do you?

 

[scruffy]

Without a doubt.....Old Man strength.

lol

I wouldn't choke him out, I'd just shoot him.

Or maybe throw him between the cars if I was in an especially bad mood.

lol - kidding. Kidding!

You're an amusing old codger. Delusional, but amusing.

 

[JOSweetHeart]

Yes, I would do what I can. I just pray that what I do is sufficient enough.

God bless you always!!!

He shouldn't be able to get off killing a man in cold blood who didn't harm him, or anyone for that matter, w/o consequence.

Why are you trying to lump others in w/his lot?

He didn't kill anyone "in cold blood" he wasn't trying to kill the guy and didn't know know he had until later.

I'm lumping them in because they were ignored due to their skin color. Had they been whiteys they would have been on trial too.

God has not granted anyone the right to murder anyone just because you feel they have no right to express their anger.

As long as they are not the 60 million humans that were murdered under RvW, eh?

 

[LeftofLeft]

Here's what happened, a mentally ill guy was screaming on a train.

No other passenger except the killer decided to take it upon himself to snuff the guy out.

The answer to the question is, no one was being threatened.

After this trial, and the disregard of Good Samaritan laws by the left, would you step in and defend others like Penny did? If you would, what would you do different, if anything?

I can say that I did something similar when I was substitute teaching some 43 years ago. I was substituting in a middle school 8th grade class. Apparently, one kid was pestering another much bigger and stronger kid. The bigger kid, who was my size stood up, turned around and start punching the kid in the face. I shouted at him to stop, but he kept on hitting him. I went to him from the back and wrapped my arm around him and bent him over my knee. My arm was up around his neck area but not in a head lock. Much like Penny was doing. The kid weighed the same as me. But, I had been a black belt for 9 years and was able to keep him bent back over my knee. He struggled trying to get out of my hold. Finally, after about 30 seconds and me telling him to calm down, he calmed down. The girl next to us said to me that he was turning blue. I asked him if he could breathe and he said he could. He was just turning colors from struggling. I asked him if he was ready to stop fighting and go to the principal's office and he said he was. I held him like Penny held the guy. Penny didn't have him in a choke hold. If he did, the guy would have been out in about 3 seconds. So, that is not what killed the guy.

A year later, I was still substitute teaching and went one day to sub in a P.E. class at the high school near the middle school. I heard someone shout out my name at me. It was the same kid I had wrapped up a year earlier. He came over smiling. We talked and laughed about it. It said he was surprised I was able to control him so easily. I then told him I am a black belt for 10 years now. He wasn't mad and actually thanked me for stopping him because he said he was totally out of control and may have killed him.

When I finally landed a teaching job that I held for 16 years at a high school, I wrapped up a few kids to stop them from fighting. I never had one of them get mad at me. They all thanked me from stopping them because they said they would have killed the other kid. Two guys once were on my basketball team and fighting during lunch. I grabbed the big guy in a front bear hug and moved him 30 feet into a class room and sat him down. He was 6'2" and about 200 lbs. I was 5'8" and about 185 at the time. I had been weight lifting and could bench 350 lbs. I sat him down in the chair still hanging on him. He said I'm going to kill him. I said, you can't even get out of my grip. What are you talking about? He stopped wiggling and calmed down. The next day in practice, he was fine and they worked out their disagreement.

Don't be afraid to help people in need. The world needs people who are willing to help and stop violence. I praise Penny for his fearlessness to help those who could have been seriously hurt. Apparently, this guy actually hit old people in the past and sent them to the hospital. Alvin Bragg should be fired and locked up in a mental institution with the rest of the leftist Democrats who blame people because of the color of their skin.

I might first search and see if the jurisdiction has radical judges and DAs.

Lol, that's rich coming from you.

You all wanted the cops, who never touched Floyd, to be charged with murder because they didn't stop it. They just watched. Same applies here, if those who guys had been white, you'd want them to be charged because they helped penny by holding the guy down.

It's not identity politics, it's just the truth. It's how the left are these days

As a 5’4, 135-pound woman, no…..I would not have done what Penny did (nor would I have been able to).

My best bet is that there is someone like Penny nearby.

 

[Lisa558]

Hmm, I thought the other people on the train said they felt threatened. Did they not say that?

Also, there were two black guys who helped penny hold the guy down, why were they not also charged as accessories?

I asked the same question on another thread. Obviously, the answer is that the racist Bragg is only interested in going after whitey. If Penny were black, he would not have been charged either.

Charges dropped against man in deadly stabbing of homeless man on subway

Charges have been dismissed against Jordan Williams, who was charged with fatally stabbing a 36-year-old homeless man on the subway.
