#1 A New York court has denied Daniel Penny’s request to drop involuntary manslaughter charges

Of course not. If he was defending himself, maybe they'd let him off. But he showed civic virtue - defending others = usurping (the way they see it) the functions of the state. That cannot be allowed!

#3 The state has failed. It needs desperately to retain its power no matter the cost to the normal productive law abiding ~~citizenry~~ serfs.

#4 People of approved victim classes have carte blanche to take your life and property.

You can do hard time for defending yourself.

I'd love to hear a town hall of The Founders weighing in on that.

#5 Moral of the story: Never waste your time with heroics in New York. In fact, stay strictly away from New York.

#6 ...The odds are pretty good that this fella will walk away, as he should, and the DA/Judge know it. But they can't be seen to admit this, so the poor SOB is going to go through the wringer anyways.

Remember - the process IS the punishment.

#9 Neely had synthetic drugs in his system at the time of the incident, which could have contributed to his death.

How very, 'George'.
