#Jordan Neely

Jordan Neely was murdered. He was lynched with no empathy or compassion.

No more passive headlines. No more blaming the victims.

Say His Name: Jordan Neely was a houseless community member who was publicly lynched on a NYC subway. The fear mongering of our apartheid state has emboldened everyday people to act as state-sanctioned enforcers and agents of empire.

Pasteups in NYC pointing to the various political and structural forces that led to the murder murder of 30-year old homeless black man Jordan Neely 2 months ago, by a white ex-marine named Daniel Penny.

On the NYC subway on May 1, 2023, Jordan Neely started telling passengers that he was fed up being hungry, thirsty and having no place to rest. He began to shout in his frustration, and threw his jacket on the floor.

An ex-marine then choked Neely to death while two other passengers helped.

Why were media outlets not releasing Daniel Penny’s name, but doing a full data dump on everything they know about Jordan Neely??

I mean, I know why, but isn’t it supposed to be in the public interest to know the name of a person who committed murder, even if only “allegedly”? IF the NYPD ever gets around to arresting him and charging him with a crime, he will still get his day in court—unlike Jordan Neely, the man he murdered for the “crime” of having a bad day while being Black in public.

Daniel Penny has had an entire day or so to scrub his social media accounts of any information that might incriminate him or show any racist tendencies.

“[Mayor] Adams ordered the clearing of hundreds of homeless camps and sent an additional 1,000 police officers to patrol subways and remove homeless people from train cars and platforms. He also simultaneously cut $615M from the city’s Department of Homeless Services.”

“Jordan Neely was murdered and we already know his name, mental health history and arrest record. Meanwhile, we don’t even have the murderer’s name who had him in a chokehold nor the people in the subway cart that assisted in the lynching. Black people always put on trial after our deaths.”

You know why I have to be very careful about how I stim in public?

Because of what happened to Jordan Neely.

I’m a Black, autistic, mentally ill person, and one of my fears is that if I’m too obvious with my stimming in public, someone might call the police on me—or just outright kill me.

In some cities, the homelessness crisis on transit systems is truly life and death. On May 2, a New York subway rider choked a man who had been seen panhandling and acting erratically, killing him. Between January and March, 22 people died on LA Metro, most from overdoses and in areas commonly known as homeless hangouts, according to the Los Angeles Times. Last year, a man who had been drifting in and out of hospitals, mental health facilities, and living on the streets for decades pushed Michelle Go in front of an oncoming train, killing her. Later that year, New York City mayor Eric Adams authorized the involuntary hospitalization of some people during homeless encampment sweeps and mulled a policy of increasing ticketing and summonses for homeless people—an obvious precursor to jailing them since they do not have the money to pay any fines. Many centrist and right-leaning commentators, such as Josh Barro, paint this issue as one that “exposes a key contradiction that leftists need to resolve. Do they care about the provision of high-quality public services? Or is their primary objective to ensure that the coercive force of the state is never used to enforce rules?” The creation and enforcement of stricter rules are increasingly popular policies nationwide, and fail to address the causes of homelessness.

Nevertheless, conservative activists and think-tankers have launched coordinated campaigns to make being homeless a felony, ensuring the homelessness-to-prison pipeline becomes even more streamlined. In April of last year, Tennessee state senator Frank Niceley, in discussing one such bill, made the argument that homeless people should find inspiration in a young man who, for a brief period early in life, “lived on the streets and practiced his oratory and his body language and how to connect with the masses and then went on to lead a life that’s got him into the history books”—evidence that life on the streets is not “a dead end.” He was referring, of course, to Adolf Hitler. Tennessee passed the bill, implicitly recognizing that, generally speaking, the U.S.’s answer to homelessness, inasmuch as it has one, is prison beds or shipping them out of town for someone else to deal with.

Amongst this mess, transit agencies are caught in the middle, tasked with doing something about a problem they had no role in creating and have no way of solving, which is often used as an excuse to dedicate little to no staff or budget to the problem.

Jordan Neely was murdered because he was mentally ill and homeless and screamed at people on the train in NYC.

A marine choked him out for 15 minutes. He was arrested for the murder. (UPDATE: The murderer was released without charges. What the fuck.) Neely was apparently Black, the murderer white. Conservatives are defending it as "self defense". Mentally ill (eta and non-mentally ill!) people scream at people every single day on the train in major cities like NYC and Chicago. My own parents screamed at me every day I lived with them. My ex screamed at me. As a teenager I screamed at family members. Conservatives like Tucker scream every night on TV. Screaming at people is not a lethal act. It is unpleasant. It is scary. It can precede violence. But that is not just cause for self defense. You dont have a right to murder someone over it.

Since Neely’s killing, the station located at the intersection of NoHo and SoHo has become a center for actions protesting the city’s racist criminalization of its unhoused residents and memorializing Neely. The crimson display, reminiscent of a brutal crime scene, was accompanied by a letter to “cop mayor” Eric Adams that called out “vigilante violence” and the structural imbalances of power and wealth in the city’s political and social landscape.

“We are fed up with the attacks on the working class, crime baiting, the austerity budgets, the endless demonizing of the most vulnerable people in our society,” the letter read. “This wasn’t a single tragedy — we are in a crisis. Whose side are you on?”
