The Right Has Raised $2 Million For the Guy Who Choked a Homeless Man To Death
Just as they did with Kyle Rittenhouse, the right is lionizing Daniel Penny, who’s charged with manslaughter.
Right-wing leaders are hailing the man who was charged with killing a homeless man on a New York subway car earlier this month as a “hero,” “a good samaritan,” and “a Subway Superman,” and their supporters have already pledged millions of dollars to his legal defense fund.
The top contribution to the campaign came on Monday morning when far-right podcaster Tim Pool donated $20,000 to the fund. “Penny is the Subway Good Samaritan and we are lucky to have brave souls like him who are willing to do the right thing,” Pool tweeted on Monday morning, confirming his donation.
Another of the top donations to the cause, this time $5,000, was listed as coming from musician Kid Rock, who used the donation as an opportunity to opine on Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, leaving the message: “Mr. Penny is a hero. Alvin Bragg is a POS. Kid Rock.”
From the very beginning, right-wing lawmakers and conservative commentators have sought to reframe the debate over Neely’s death as one related to Democrats being weak on crime. Neely, who was homeless, was in psychological distress at the time Penny “subdued” him, according to witness accounts. But Penny’s defenders tried to justify his actions by claiming that Neely posed a threat to passengers.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

There are so many americans who think that law enforcement requires or even wants audience participation.

Quote:Bystanders said Neely was acting in a “hostile and erratic manner” on the subway, according to the New York Times. Sources also told the Post that Neely threw his jacket to the ground and passengers began moving away. “He started screaming in an aggressive manner,” a witness told the Post. “He said he had no food, he had no drink, that he was tired and doesn’t care if he goes to jail.”

None of which justifies a homicide. A chokehold will render someone unconscious within about ten seconds. Penny choke Neely for fifteen minutes.

Rudy Giuliani hit with bombshell rape lawsuit; ex-staffer says he demanded oral sex while he took calls from Trump
A bombshell lawsuit out of Manhattan accuses Rudy Giuliani of forcing a former employee to submit to sex acts as a condition of her employment — including making her give him oral sex while he took calls from then-President Donald Trump on speaker phone.

Here's the bit that - if true - will bury him:
Quote:The lawsuit also alleges — buried on page 25 — that Giuliani asked Dunphy for help "selling pardons" for $2 million a pop. Giuliani told her that he and Trump "would split" the fee, the lawsuit alleges.
