NYC mayor Eric Adams defends Daniel Penny, blasts the media

The Daniel Penny jury is deadlocked. They obviously want to acquire but are afraid of the violent rioters who are showing up to intimate them.
This is now a federal civil rights issue. DOJ must review this case on Day 1.
✅ As Jury Begins Deliberations, Daniel Penny Appears to Have a Surprising Voice in His Corner.That would be NYC Mayor Adams, who said not enough is being done in the city to address mental illness.
✅ NYC mayor Eric Adams defends Daniel Penny for protecting subway passengers, blasts the media for portraying Jordan Neely as an "innocent child."
✅ Adams said Penny did what New York City "should have done as a city."
"You have someone on that subway who was responding, doing what we should have done as a city in a state of having a mental health facility."
"It seemed like it was a young, innocent child who was brutally m*rdered, and it gave that impression."

"When you look at the photo that was being used, it wanted to set up in the minds of people that we were dealing with a young, innocent child, just a Michael Jackson imitator that was just brutally assaulted."

He's right about that, in that nobody is doing enough. The prosecutor in this case is a real piece of work, so the defense has had to work really hard in a case that should never have been brought.

Daniel Penny not only deserves to walk free but should be praised by NYC leaders. You want to encourage bravery like that. Instead, they punish him and send a clear message to others not to step in when a maniac threatens to k*ll innocent people.
