Ben Shapiro Explains How Daniel Penny Case Illustrates ‘Two-Tiered’ Justice System In Blue Cities | Eastern North Carolina Now

    The treatment of New York subway Samaritan Daniel Penny is just more proof that there is a "two-tiered system of justice" in blue cities, Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro said Thursday.

    Shapiro was responding on his podcast to the news that Penny, a former Marine who is accused of killing Jordan Neely, was indicted by a grand jury in Manhattan. The Daily Wire co-founder said that the law is being enforced inconsistently in Democrat-run cities, especially if a white person is accused of harming a black person.

    "So take, for example, in the case in which a crazed white homeless person is subdued by a law-abiding black American Marine, and then the white person dies, do you think that black person is going to end up in the dock, indicted by a grand jury and prospectively spending the rest of his life in prison?" Shapiro wondered.

    Shapiro noted the complexity of the Penny case, as several witnesses on the train reported that Neely, who had a violent past, was making threatening comments toward passengers on the train. Video shows Penny putting Neely in a headlock on the floor of a subway in an attempt to subdue him alongside other passengers.

    "When that sort of thing happens, you don't prosecute the person who's responsible for defending the life and limb of innocent citizens from a crazed homeless person on the subway. And yet that is precisely what's happening in New York," Shapiro said. "And the reason that's happening, is because Daniel Penny is white. There's just no other way to read this. If Daniel Penny, you were a black man, this would not be in court."

    The Daily Wire host also took the media to task for its role in shaping the narrative around controversial incidents.

    "Now, the media immediately went into spin mode after this incident and they released old tape of Jordan Neely dancing like Michael Jackson, the obviously innocent Michael Jackson impersonator, this innocent Michael Jackson impersonator. He was just dancing his life away when he was accosted and attacked by this evil white person," Shapiro said, before noting that Neely had been arrested 42 times, including once for punching a 67-year-old woman in the head.

    While the exact charges are still unknown, Penny has maintained his innocence, saying that he was just trying to protect people on the subway.

It has been far too many years since the Woke theology interlaced its canons within the fabric of the Indoctrination Realm, so it is nigh time to ask: Does this Representative Republic continue, as a functioning society of a self-governed people, by contending with the unusual, self absorbed dictates of the Woke, and their vast array of Victimhood scenarios?

  Yes, the Religion of Woke must continue; there are so many groups of underprivileged, underserved, a direct result of unrelenting Inequity; they deserve everything.

  No; the Woke fools must be toppled from their self-anointed pedestal; a functioning society of a good Constitutional people cannot withstand this level of "existential" favoritism as it exists now.

  I just observe; with this thoughtful observation: What will happen "when the Vikings are breeching our walls;" how do the Woke react?
