Whereas, on May 1, 2023, ex-Marine Daniel Penny rode on the F Train in Manhattan, where he encountered Jordan Neely; Whereas Jordan Neely, an individual arrested 42 times by the New York Police Department, including for dragging a 7-year-old girl across a street and physically assaulting a 67-year-old woman, began throwing trash at passengers and, according to one witness, told individuals that he was willing to kill and go to jail; Whereas this witness further indicated that people that travel the subway see and hear everything—this was different. And frightening … people were gravitating toward the exit doors, and we couldn’t get out because we were still between stations … people exited quickly [when we pulled in], and people were trying to call 911 when they were in the train … I sensed danger.; Whereas Daniel Penny, with disregard for his personal well-being, quickly intervened to protect train passengers from an active threat; Whereas the aforementioned witness also stated, this isn’t about race. This is about people of all colors who were very, very afraid and a man who stepped in to help them.; and Whereas, for doing so, leftist activists have condemned Penny as a White supremacist and a vigilante for his efforts to protect his fellow Americans, neither description having any basis in fact: Now, therefore, be it That the House of Representatives recognizes and honors Daniel Penny of West Islip, New York, for his heroism and courage in apprehending a threat to public safety.
