I wonder if he was found in Eureka Springs....I lived there for a summer and loved it, maybe it was a special place to him too

I am curious about these two other high profile cases as well

I see this not too infrequently in my caseload. It can be a successful way to manipulate significant others and families unfortunately.

Have ridden the subway in multiple urban areas, I have thankfully never witnessed an unhinged person follow a bystander who has chosen to move away from them.

For the first time, parents from The Covenant School are collectively making their stance known. In a strongly worded filing, parents stated they do not want the shooter’s so-called “manifesto” to be released to the public. The parents have requested a judge to hear their plea before making a...

I have not seen any reports of anyone recognizing him that day. Can you point me to it please

But did Penny know that? He did not as far as I know. Yes Neely did some HORRIBLE things as I said previously. But no one in the subway car knew of his history.

We need more detail on this behavior. I have only seen that he was yelling crazy things and that he threw his jacket on the floor. I have not seen evidence that he directly threatened to hurt anyone. I believe if there was evidence that he was being threatened on a level that would justify...

I have a friend who actually has a 2 car garage at their walk up in Union Square. You talk about money, this is money. They mainly use their cars to go to the Hamptons in the summer and their winter cabin in the winter. Otherwise they walk or use the subway. They would not dream to use their...

You make such a good point here. I have felt more threatened in bars or in party atmospheres than I have ever been while riding public transportation or walking in urban areas. This brings me back, I had forgotten how scary things would get when the big guy with egos got rebuffed or had their...

Your whole reply was spot on! But wanted to snip this out. This has always been my behavior on the subways and on the streets or large urban areas, especially NYC. I don't know any New Yorkers who do not behave the same way. I also think you are soon on with Penny being trained to see threats...

How long into a chokehold does it not become intentional? Especially someone trained in chokeholds?

The friends I have in NYC do not feel this way at all. Yes the beggars can be annoying and sometimes hostile, but they just walk on by. It is going to happen in any big city right now.

I think that recording incidents does help especially in situations like this when things end up with a fatality. It becomes direct evidence of what truly happened.

BINGO! This problem has no chance of getting better without more money to create more mental health beds and better treatment provided to the people in those beds.

I think that other riders could have subdued and restrained him in a manner that would not cause his death.

It absolutely sounds like he was acting threatening and that other riders were in fear. But to jump straight to a chokehold without the man starting an attack is OVERKILL. Literally. There are many other ways that other riders could have subdued and restrained Neely without killing him.

So should all guys with a threatening presence on the subway be put in a chokehold?

In my experience it is a lack of beds. And unless the person with that warrant is actively committing crime they are probably not going to have anything happen because LE is too busy with people in the process of criming.

Who is going to pay for more mental health beds for those in need without resources? Have you ever tried to get a stabilization bed in NYC. It is quite difficult unless you have good private insurance or money. No insurance or state insurance and you are out of luck and will go on a waiting...
