Justice was not served when a judge recently denied the request to dismiss charges against Daniel Penny, the hero who restrained a violent individual on a New York City subway train. This decision is a mockery of justice and an insult to the brave actions of Penny and those who helped him.
In what world is it acceptable to prosecute a man who was simply trying to protect innocent people from a potentially lethal threat? Daniel Penny’s actions saved countless lives and he should be celebrated as a hero, not vilified and put on trial.
The fact that Penny is even facing charges for his heroic actions is a testament to the failure of our justice system. While true criminals often walk free, a man who risked his own life to keep others safe is being treated as a criminal. This is a clear indication of a broken system that values punishing the innocent over protecting the public.
Remember Daniel Penny, the 24-year-old Marine who saved countless lives on a NYC subway train in 2023?
Today, a judge denied his request to dismiss the charges against him.
Justice is dead.

What kind of message does this send to society? By prosecuting Penny, the authorities are essentially telling people not to intervene when they see someone in danger. After all, why should anyone risk their own safety and well-being if it could result in them being criminally charged? This is a dangerous and harmful precedent that will only discourage people from helping one another in the future.
Penny’s case is a perfect example of a two-tiered justice system, where those with connections or privilege are often let off the hook for their crimes, while regular citizens face harsh consequences for even the most minor infractions. This inequality is not only unjust, but it undermines the very fabric of our justice system and erodes public trust in it.
It is a disgrace that Penny, a 24-year-old Marine and former hero, is being targeted and made an example of by the authorities. This is a blatant abuse of power and a betrayal of the values that our justice system is meant to uphold. How can we expect people to respect the law and have faith in our justice system when they see innocent individuals being punished while true criminals go free?
It is time for the authorities to do the right thing and drop all charges against Daniel Penny. He did nothing wrong and his actions should be commended, not criminalized.

Justice must be served and it is up to us as a society to demand it. Penny deserves to be exonerated and hailed as the hero he truly is. It is time for our justice system to do the right thing and show that it values and protects those who selflessly put themselves in harm’s way to help others.
