AOC called 'delusional' after saying Daniel Penny posed danger to subway riders—he was just acquitted in Jordan Neely's death

[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] "Squad" House member Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez has been slammed as "delusional" by critics after she suggested that subway riders in New York City should be afraid of Daniel Penny. The 26-year-old Marine veteran was acquitted on Monday.

Penny was acquitted after a Manhattan jury ruled that Penny was not guilty of criminally negligent homicide and the judge dismissed the manslaughter charge against him. Amid the acquittal, a clip has resurfaced of Ocasio-Cortez reacting to Penny's previous comments saying that he felt he would take action again if there was a clear and present danger to the people around him.

''If we do not want violence on the subways and the point of our justice system is a level of accountability to prevent a person who does not have remorse about taking another person's life," Ocasio-Cortez said. ''I mean even people who have engaged in manslaughter or have taken a life accidentally express remorse." She added, "The fact that a person has expressed no remorse indicates a risk that it may happen again. And if we do not want to unleash that level of violence then we should exert a level of accountability to prevent that from happening."

Penny had been asked by news hounds in May 2023 if he would take action again prior to the case going to trial and said at the time, ''I would — if there was a threat and danger in the present." Social media users have slammed the Democratic politician as "delusional" for making the comments about Penny, per the New York Post.

One user mocked the representative's claim, saying, "They should rename that the Daniel Penny line. The only safe subway in New York."

#1 If there is a violent criminal riding the subway with me, I would hope that they would respect my potential for violence enough to ride quietly.

#2 She is the new Nancy Pelosi. We need to primary her early before she get into real power.

What does potential for violence look like, Super Hose? I’ve never needed to recognize it — people keep me safe.

#6 TW, I have not been in a fight in years. Generally speaking, people tend to behave around me. I am 6’2” and 270 pounds. I imagine that things will change when I get my first walker. Kid tried to mug me 10 years ago. That stuff seems to still turn my dial to berserk.i am peaceful and try to stay out of situations where that stuff is necessary, but there is a freedom to just letting things go.

#7 <3 I found a book for Mr. Wife on fighting with walking sticks, Super Hose, but it didn’t teach him anything new after he’d trained with a bo staff. (Bo staffs, in my experience, are just like long twirling batons, which raises interesting questions about the pretty girls fronting marching bands.) Strap a sturdy aluminum walking stick to your walker and nobody will question its benign purpose, when the time comes.
