I still want to know what Neely was doing that caused multiple passengers to intervene. Whatever it was he certainly didn’t deserve to die, but if he was threatening people, its a pretty different look.

That twitter video said he was complaining about wanting food and water. But witnesses reported he threw his jacket and said he didn’t care if he went to jail. That’s scary if you’re trapped in a train car with him.

Quote:
Juan Alberto Vazquez, the freelance journalist who recorded the incident, told the New York Post that Neely was screaming "in an aggressive manner."

"He said he had no food, he had no drink, that he was tired and doesn't care if he goes to jail," Vazquez said. He added that Neely did not attack anyone but that the Marine veteran approached him after he threw his jacket to the ground.

He had multiple arrests for assault.

Anyway, hopefully at some point there is more clarity here. Its tragic he’s dead, and tragic a guy who was probably trying to protect others in a non lethal way ended up killing him.
