A crazed black homeless man dies after being subdued by a white Marine, and the media have their newest George Floyd narrative. New York won't police crime, but they will ban your gas stove.

Well, we're during the summer, and that means it's time for some riots.

0:29.0

I mean, this is what we do.

0:29.9

It's sort of the annual tradition here in the United States.

0:32.7

Every summer, we have a bunch of race riots now.

0:34.9

This is the thing that we like to do.

0:36.2

And we need some sort of hook to hang those riots on.

0:39.8

Well, the media have found their newest hook. It's the case

0:37.8

of a person named Jordan Neely. So who exactly is Jordan Neely? It was a 30-year-old psychotic

0:42.2

black homeless man living in New York with an arrest record as long as your arm, 44 prior arrests. Why is Jordan Neely at the center of the news? Well, the reason is because he is dead. The reason that he is dead is because he was apparently on a subway car and he started screaming at and harassing the various passengers on the subway car. According to Alberto Vasquez, Juan Balbo Vasquez, who's a freelance journalist, he said he started screaming in an aggressive manner. He said he had no food, he had no drink, he was tired, and doesn't care if he goes to jail. He started screaming all these things, took off his jacket, a black jacket that he had, and threw it on the ground, started to get more and more agitated in front of the people on the subway car. At this point, a 24-year-old passenger stepped in, a white passenger,

0:48.6

who is apparently a Marine, and he put Jordan Neely in a submission hold. Now, they don't

1:29.8

see in a chokehold and a submission hold. Again, this goes back to police procedures.

1:37.1

This guy's a Marine, not a policeman. But the idea in a submission hold is that essentially you're putting pressure on the arteries. And what that does, it cuts off a blood flow to the brain. It's supposed to knock you out. It's not supposed to kill you. A chokehold is directed at the trachea, which is why it's been essentially barred by every police department, because if you damage the trachea, very often the person dies.

1:41.1

Submission holds are what you see in, for example, UFC. So this guy is using what looks like a triangle hold. It's a form of submission hold. Well, Jordan Neely ended up dying. So this video, which you're about see, it's hard to watch because it's a person who's being subdued. What you will notice in this video, however, is a couple of things. One, you will see that throughout the video, Jordan Neely continues to be incredibly agitated. Again, this is a person who was arrested multiple times for drug problems. This is apparently schizophrenic, psychotic, et cetera. He's being subdued by this 24-year-old white Marine, and there's another person who's attempting to subdue him. The other person who's not been mentioned in virtually any of the media reports is a black man who's attempting to subdue Jordan Neely. And the minute that Jordan Neely becomes unresponsive, the minute that he stops struggling, somebody says he's not struggling anymore, and the Marine lets him go. It doesn't matter because the media treat this as though this is a case of murder, as we'll get to in just one second. Again, that is largely based on the race of the people involved. If this were a black Marine who had subdued a black man, or if this were a black Marine who had subdued a psychotic white man screaming at people with an arrest record as long as your arm on a subway, then presumably we'd had stories about the heroism of protecting the surrounding population from people who have a history of violence. I mean, Jordan Ely does have a history of violence. This is a

2:01.4

person who has an outstanding arrest warrant right now, like today, for assaulting a 67-year-old

3:11.4

woman in New York City. So here's what the video looked like. So you can see the

3:15.4

this is caught on film by that one

3:22.3

Alberto Vasquez

3:24.2

The Jordan Ely continues to struggle

3:24.9

The Marine is obviously not doing this maliciously

3:26.9

I mean he's he's you know kind of
