At this point, it should go without saying that I'm happy that all charges against Jordan Williams have been dropped. He responded to violent force against himself and his girlfriend with entirely reasonable and proportional force.
I'm aware that Brooklyn and Manhattan have different DAs; but, there are parallels to be drawn between the Jordan Williams case and the Daniel Penny case.
Jordan Williams has already suffered the injustice of having his life threatened, first by a maniac on the subway, and then by the fucking government. Daniel Penny is still having his life threatened by the fucking government.
The only ethical thing to be done next is to drop the charges against Daniel Penny.
We also need to sit AOC down, and explain to her very slowly, at a pace that allows her to process what's being told to her, that, even if her comments were true (which they aren't), she's more responsible for Jordan Neely's death than Daniel Penny is.
