During the second day of testimony, Daniel Penny was known as โthe white man.โ Thatโs what Manhattan DA Alvin Braggโs deputy reduced him to in front of the jury. The prosecution is making this case about race while radicals scream outside the courtroom. They are demanding he be convicted.
The Bragg prosecutor labeled him the white man when witness Ivette Rosario took the stand. Rosario, then a 17-year-old high school student, was trapped on the train with Jordan Neely when he threatened to kill other commuters. Penny, realizing the danger, subdued him.
The nervous teen did not know Pennyโs name, so she simply referred to him as โthe white guy.โ
Assistant District Attorney Jillian Shartrand, whoโs prosecuting Penny for Bragg, did not bother to tell Rosario his name. Instead, she called Penny โthe white manโ again and again, more than half a dozen times.
BLM protesters are making it about race, and Shartrand played right into the basest attacks on Daniel Penny.
Neely came onto the train, snarling and threatening passengers. A teen said she thought she’d pass out. An older woman was “scared shitless.”
Others said they never felt this type of panic.
Eric Gonzalez, one of the men who helped constrain Neely, was a star witness, but he admitted he fabricated some of the story to protect himself from prosecution or abuse by BLM. He’s terrified of the protesters.
The more we learn about the Daniel Penny case the more obvious it seems he is not only innocent, but is also a hero.

He admitted to lying about being on the scene much earlier and that Neely hit him, prompting Penny to swing into action. All that to save himself.
โYouโre scared of people that are looking for a prosecution of my client?โ asked Pennyโs defense attorney, Steven Raiser.
โYes,โ Gonzalez said.
Raiser added: โYouโre afraid that if you testified in a way thatโs helpful to my client, you may suffer repercussions, correct?โ
Affirmative.
โAll these protests going on, I am scared for myself, I am scared for my family,โ Gonzalez, a father of two, said, underscoring how politically charged this farce of a criminal case is.
Gonzalez and Penny jumped in to save people on a train, and now they are punished for it. One might go to prison for 19 years. The other is terrified of BLM.
This probably spells the end of Good Samaritans, at least in New York City.
Earlier today, far-left extremists in Manhattan tried shutting down a rally in support of Daniel Penny. When some of them were being arrested by @NYPDnews, they attempted to help their comrades escape. #JordanNeely pic.twitter.com/WPFZG6bqRr
