RON DESANTIS DOUBLES DOWN ON DEFENSE OF ‘GOOD SAMARITAN’ SUBWAY VIGILANTE

NEW LAW DOLES OUT $158 MILLION TO SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO UP MATH, READING SCORES

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Vets look out for other vets.'

Gov. Ron DeSantis is doubling down on his defense of a “good Samaritan” who
choked out an erratic subway performer in New York City.

“Vets look out for other vets,” DeSantis said in his latest defense of Daniel
Penny.

“What we can’t have in our society is inmates running the asylum,” DeSantis
added. “And what you saw on the subway was, you saw a guy that was very
dangerous. He was putting people in harm’s way. He was boasting that he may do
harm.”

Penny choked out Jordan Neely on a New York City subway on May 1. He faces a
manslaughter charge after killing Neely in the wake of threats to passengers.
Many have defended Penny for initially subduing Neely, but plenty have
criticized Penny for keeping him in a chokehold for several minutes after he no
longer posed a threat.

On Tuesday, DeSantis redoubled his claim, first made over the weekend, that
Penny took the man’s life only because he was trying to keep others safe.



“And I think to be able to step in as a good Samaritan and protect people, I
think that that’s something that was the right thing to do, and I don’t think he
should be prosecuted. I think you have a prosecutor there that sides with the
criminal element over law-abiding citizens. And when people have the temerity to
fight back against the criminal element, he goes after them,” DeSantis said.

The Governor was an early booster of Penny’s legal defense fund on GiveSendGo,
which is now approaching $2.5 million. The right-wing alternative to GoFundMe is
billed as the “#1 Christian fundraising site.”

“And so hopefully with him raising all this money, he’s going to be able to beat
this case,” DeSantis said. “I hope the charges are dropped. But if they’re not,
I think he’s going to be able to win in the end.”

The Governor spotlighted Penny’s case on Twitter Friday, urging followers to
“show this Marine … America’s got his back.” Despite taking criticism from many
for purportedly perverting the parable of the good Samaritan, Florida’s Governor
is standing his ground.

   Anyone who is instructed in how to perform a chokehold knows damn well that
   if you put someone in one for 5+ minutes, they’re likely going to die, and
   johnny maga on the train held the guy he killed in one for over 15 minutes.
   
   DeSantis is just fascist trash.

   I don’t remember the bit in Luke 10:25-37 where the good samaritan strangles
   the poor guy to death but why rhonda would go out on a limb for a guy charged
   with manslaughter in another state is a mystery to me. What’s with
   conservatives – fight to make sure they’re born regardless of circumstances
   then cheer when they get murdered later in life?

   Every time I think Ron DeSantis can’t stoop lower and become an even worse
   piece of human filth, he keeps on digging lower and lower.
   
   And “Christians” seem to love this guy.

   This is disgusting even by current Republican standards, not to mention a
   total perversion of the Biblical reference. A real “Good Samaritan” would
   wash Jordan Neely’s feet and feed him.

   Excellent work, Mike. Since I presently generate more than $36,000 a month
   from just one straightforward online business, I commend your efforts.
   Despite the fact that these are the most basic internet operations chores,
   you sv-04 may start earning a solid online income with as little as $29,000.

   Rhonda keeps spewing nonsense nobody wants to hear. Does Rhonda think it
   would be okay for Mr Perry to strangle him to death too? The scenarios are
   precise matches: Crazy man saying stupid shit and won’t shut up? Rhonda says
   “Strangle him till dead. All good!” Get thee to Fleur Duh, Mr Perry! Your
   services are needed by all Floridians.

   He just does not know when to shut up and move on. Is anyone with a brain
