The vigilante chokehold death of an unarmed and nonviolent Black man on a New York City subway this week is drawing comparisons to the murder of his own mother years earlier and the subsequent legal case in which he played a significant role.
According to reports, Jordan Neely, 30, was yelling and screaming about being hungry during a subway ride in Manhattan on Monday before throwing his jacket to the ground. That apparently prompted an unidentified white man to assault Neely and place him in a chokehold on the subway car’s floor while at least one other man helped with the restraining. After the vigilante determined Neely was no longer moving, he was let go. But first responders couldn’t revive Neely and he was pronounced dead at a local hospital a short time later.
