Neely, who reportedly had a history of crime and mental illness, was restrained by Penny and others, with Penny putting him in a headlock that ultimately killed him. The incident has sparked controversy and protests, with left-wingers using it to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/daniel-penny-legal-defense-fund-raises-over-10-times-more-donations-than-jordan-neely-fund\/\" title=\"Daniel Penny's legal defense fund raised 10x more than Jordan Neely's.\">push anti-police policies<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>The Crowdfunding Campaign<\/h3>\n<p>A crowdfunding campaign for Penny&#8217;s legal fees and defense has raised over $2 million, more than 10 times the amount raised for Neely&#8217;s family through a separate fund. The campaign, set up by Penny&#8217;s lawyers on GiveSendGo, states that any excess funds will be donated to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/givesendgo-campaign-raises-more-than-400k-for-daniel-penny\/\" title=\"Daniel Penny's GiveSendGo campaign raises over 0K.\">mental health advocacy program<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>The Controversy<\/h3>\n<p>The case has caused a racial firestorm in New York City, with protesters blocking subway tracks and left-wingers like congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and race hustler Al Sharpton pressuring for charges to be filed against Penny. Meanwhile, crime rates in the city are soaring, with 27 other people killed on the subway in the last three years and droves of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cnn-reporters-mugged-while-covering-san-franciscos-crime-spike\/\" title=\"CNN Reporters Mugged While Covering San Francisco's Crime Spike\">police officers leaving<\/a> the force. Mayor Eric Adams, a moderate Democrat, has called for institutionalizing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/shapiro-how-blue-city-governance-is-destroying-blue-cities\/\" title=\"SHAPIRO: How Blue City Governance Is Destroying Blue Cities\">severely mentally ill<\/a>, a policy opposed by progressives.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>The case of Daniel Penny and Jordan Neely highlights the complex issues surrounding crime, mental illness, and policing in America. While the crowdfunding campaign for Penny&#8217;s legal defense has been successful, the controversy and protests surrounding the case show that there are no easy solutions to these problems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daniel Penny, a Marine veteran, surrendered to police on Friday for charges related to the death of Jordan Neely, a homeless man who was harassing subway riders in New York.
