TL;DR Summary

Daniel Penny, the Marine veteran charged with manslaughter in the New York City subway chokehold death of Jordan Neely, a homeless black man, has broken his silence to insist that the killing had nothing to do with race. Penny suggests he would take action again if faced with similar circumstances. Neely's funeral was held in Harlem, where Rev. Al Sharpton delivered a fiery eulogy to a crowd of hundreds, saying 'when they choked Jordan, they put their arms around all of us'. Penny, who is currently free on a $100,000 bail, rejected the suggestion that his fatal confrontation with Neely was an act of hatred or discrimination, saying, 'This had nothing to do with race.'
