Edit to add that I'm unsure how Penney got away fully acquitted, but the above article also doesn't contain many details on the case. I'm not sure vigilantism should go unpunished. |
Guy had a tragic life:
Quote:
Neely, 30, was a sometime subway performer with a tragic life story: His mother was killed and stuffed in a suitcase when he was a teenager.
As a younger man, Neely did Michael Jackson tributes — complete with moonwalks — on the city’s streets and subways. But Neely also struggled with mental illness after losing his mother, whose boyfriend was convicted of murdering her.
He subsequently was diagnosed with depression and schizophrenia, was repeatedly hospitalized, and used the synthetic cannabinoid K2 and realized it negatively affected his thinking and behavior, according to medical records seen at the trial. The drug was in his system when he died.

Daniel strangled him until he was dead. I get the fear and need for action, but at some point, you know, he wasn't a threat anymore. That point was long before "dead".
