Episode 130
In early May of 2023, a homeless, mentally ill man with a tragic and violent past was killed via chokehold on a New York subway after his menacing behavior on the subway prompted bystanders to restrain him. Daniel Penny, the former Marine who restrained Neely via chokehold, provided lifesaving measures after he lost consciousness and was only arrested after Neely's death ignited race-related protests in the city (Penny is white and Neely was black). Was this a race-related confrontation as many purport it to be, or is there more to the story? Does Neely's death highlight the untenable conditions in New York City and represents all our failures as a society? Join us on this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast as we discuss this topic in more detail.
