We got banned for challenging the George Floyd narrative. Now we can tell the truth. 🧵

#JordanNeely was a mentally ill & very dangerous homeless man. The media will portray him as they did with other black men, who’s deaths were largely the result of their criminal conduct.

The media & politicians are at it again. He was “lynched” because he was having a “mental health crisis” they say.

“New York wasn’t safe for him” & “it was a lynching” are the type of refrain we have, in between the childhood photos & stories of his Michael Jackson fandom.

The reality isn’t that simple. In fact, this outcome, while unfortunate, is entirely acceptable, & his killer(s) certainly don’t deserve the criminal convictions almost certainly headed their way.

That is the real tragedy. Before you feign outrage, I’ll explain just why that is.

Neely was not some homeless man peacefully expressing his feelings on the subway. He wasn’t doing a Michael Jackson impersonation.

He was having the same type of episode he had when he was arrested many times on the subway, the same type he had here when he attacked this woman.

With over 40 arrests, a multitude of hospital admissions and diagnoses of mental illnesses, and an active arrest warrant for felony assault, Neely had no place being out on the street.

The city failed him, but more importantly, failed it’s citizens who are forced to endure…

…the threats posed by Neely & others like him. His own grandparents were afraid of him, as were others that crossed his path.

He was scaring everyone on the train, acting in “a very violent way” as he went on with his episode. Others on the train eventually had to restrain him.

When politicians like @AOC or @RepPressley frame it as a peaceful, sick homeless man being lynched, they don’t offer an alternative.

Other than restraining him to wait for police, what would be their course?

Should they wait for him to smash another woman’s face off of a train?

AOC actually starts by criticizing how these leftist dystopias, like NYC & San Francisco, completely fail to manage the problem, but then targets the victims of that failure of leadership instead.

Your policies unleash a torrent of dangerous, violent criminals & mentally ill…

…people on the citizenry, then defund & malign the police that are needed in situations like this.

These people are a threat to honest, peaceful citizens, FACT. They’re allowed to roam the streets, while the city uses its resources to charge a political leader for typos.

So what options do the people have? When faced with a threat from a dangerously violent and unstable criminal, what can people do?

If you dump these people on us, & you won’t allow police to help us, then we will need to defend ourselves.

Sometimes, accidents happen. That’s it!

If you won’t keep the threat off the street, & you won’t staff the police so they can respond, then we’ll act as needed.

Usually it’ll be fine. Sometimes people can die. That’s just the way it is.

You don’t care about them, or us, or that choice wouldn’t be ours to begin with.

The proper framing is as follows…

A city wrought by abismal mismanagement & awful priorities, forces a confrontation between a criminal threat & peaceful citizens. As a result, a man is inadvertently killed. Both he & his killer, are equally victims.

The worst part is yet…

…to come. As bad as the media & politicians are for promoting the lies & disingenuous framing for money & power, the worst part will likely be when the city’s real victims are charged with murder.

For defending themselves from weaponized criminality, fired by the city itself.

Adrian Kaczmarek was lauded as a hero for restraining this threatening man in 2016.

He’d still be framed as a hero today. Unless the criminal was black.

The outrage over #JordanNeely is all manufactured by racist marxists. Just like George Floyd.
