“If a Black homeless man choked a white Marine to death, he wouldn’t be able to get off Rikers Island because he wouldn’t be able to pay the bail,” Public Advocate Jumaane Williams declared outside of the subway station Wednesday where Jordan Neely lost his life over a week agp.
Williams joined New York City Comptroller Brad Lander and several advocates outside of the Broadway-Lafayette station on May 10 to demand criminal charges against Daniel Penny, the man reportedly seen grappling with Neely in the dramatic, viral video.
