On Monday, 26-year-old Daniel Penny was acquitted after killing Jordan Neely, a desperate Black homeless man on the subway...

Tale as old as time.

Also a lie by omission. He was violently acting out on a moving subway car and all that was done was a choke hold with a proper recovery position. His own health issues lead to his death from this. You can fall off a step and die, so shit happens. You can't predict the future, but you can certainly try your best to protect innocent people.

That said I'm also not sympathetic to a billionaire dying when he was such a piece of shit.
