I\u2019m not a white supremacist.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Defended by Witnesses as a Hero<\/h3>\n<p>Penny restrained Neely aboard the F subway train \u2014 acting in concert with a group of passengers as Neely began expressing violent threats and stating that he\u2019d go to prison.<\/p>\n<p>Witnesses aboard the train have defended Penny\u2019s actions, even calling him a \u201chero\u201d who saved other passengers from injury at the hands of Neely.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Penny cared for people. That\u2019s what he did. That is his crime,\u201d said one witness.<\/p>\n<h3>Lawyer Points to Neely&#8217;s History of Violence<\/h3>\n<p>Penny\u2019s lawyer Thomas Kenniff is pointing to Neely\u2019s own history of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rep-bush-sides-with-st-louis-inmate-rioters\/\" title=\"Rep. Bush sides with St. Louis inmate rioters\">violent behavior<\/a> and arrests aboard the subway as evidence establishing the mentally ill transient as the aggressor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can tell you that the threats, the menacing, the terror that Jordan Neely introduced to that train has already been well documented,\u201d Kenniff said. \u201cThey are uniform in their recollection of events.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Penny Stands by Decision to Intervene<\/h3>\n<p>Penny expressed sadness over Neely\u2019s death \u2014 lamenting how the altercation could\u2019ve been prevented had \u201cthe system\u201d not failed him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s tragic what happened to him. Hopefully, we can change the system that\u2019s so desperately failed us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, the veteran stood by his decision to intervene with a group of passengers onboard the subway train, confirming he\u2019d do it again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would \u2014 if there was a threat and danger in the present.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Personal Background and Next Court Appearance<\/h3>\n<p>Penny broke down his own personal background in the interview, recounting his service in the Marines. The 24-year old man is an architecture student at a university in New York City.
