“They want racial strife in this country. This is what they feed on. And so that is where the Daniel Perry is a white supremacist narrative comes from. It’s completely ridiculous.”
Penny, who has been charged with second-degree manslaughter, today (May 21) spoke publicly about the incident for the first time, telling the New York Post that the death of Neely, a 30-year-old homeless street performer, had “nothing to do with race” and all the things to do with “a system that so desperately failed us”.
“I judge a person based on their character. I’m not a white supremacist,” mentioned the previous rifleman within the US Marines. “Everybody who’s ever met me can tell you, I love all people, I love all cultures.
“You can inform by my previous and all my travels and adventures all over the world. I used to be truly planning a highway journey via Africa earlier than this occurred.”
The case has sparked widespread debate and protests regarding problems with race, felony justice, homelessness and psychological sickness, however Penny’s attorneys say they’re assured he shall be “fully absolved of any wrongdoing” when all of the “facts and circumstances” emerge.
Smith mentioned on Fox News: “A lot of the leftists, the mainstream media, wanted to paint this narrative of Jordan Neely as the sort of friendly neighborhood Michael Jackson impersonator, but the facts came out so quickly…they weren’t able to sort of set that narrative.
“You have to grasp that going into an election yr, what Democrats and the left need is race stress, they need one other race battle.”
Penny will next appear in court in July, and Smith, himself a veteran of the Iraq War, added: “I’m a little bit involved about Perry’s prospects within the New York City justice system. We’ve received Soros-run DAs. We’ve received lots of people which can be very, very far left within the jury pool there.
“I’m very interested to see how that pans out, but I am glad that his side of the story is getting out.”
Penny’s attorneys, Raiser and Kenniff, added: “When Mr Penny, a adorned Marine veteran, stepped in to guard himself and his fellow New Yorkers, his well-being was not assured.
“He risked his own life and safety, for the good of his fellow passengers.
“The unlucky end result was the unintended and unexpected dying of Mr Neely.”
Compos-Duffy joined in the condemnation of Penny’s prosecution, saying: “The Democrat Party runs on racial stress.
“It’s very curious how we’re coming into an election year they’re looking to stoke something that’s so obviously is not racial.”
