Mayor Adams RIPS Into AOC For Jumping To Conclusions About Homeless Mans Death After Marine Puts Him In Chokehold

Once again, jumping to conclusions before all the facts are in seems to be the name of the game when it comes to comments by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

According to the New York Post, AOC was rushing to conclude that Jordan Neely was ‘murdered’ even though the tragic death on the subway is still in the throes of investigation.

City Comptroller Brad Lander also said a few words by claiming people are cheering how a homeless and troubled 30-year-old man was “choked to death by a vigilante without consequences.”

Mayor Adams did not take kindly to either tweet that rushed to judgment and said Wednesday on CNN Primetime:

“I don’t think that’s very responsible at the time [where] we are still investigating the situation.” “Let’s let the DA [conduct] his investigation with the law enforcement officials. To [really] interfere with that is not the right thing to do.” The mayor stressed his position, saying, “I’m going to be responsible and allow them to do their job and allow them to determine [exactly] what happened here.”

The New York Times posted:

“A 30-year-old man died on the subway on Monday after he [was] placed in a chokehold, the police said. Witnesses said the victim had been acting in a ‘hostile and erratic manner’ toward passengers on the train when the other man, 24, moved to restrain him.”

Ocasio-Cortez responded with:

“Jordan Neely was murdered. But bc Jordan was houseless and drying for food in a time when the city [is] raising rents and stripping services to militarize itself [while] many in power demonize the poor; the murderer gets protected w/passive headlines + no charges.”

Lander’s tweet said:

“NYC is not Gotham. We must not become a city where a mentally ill [human being] can be choked to death by a vigilante without consequences. Or where the killer is justified and cheered.

On Wednesday, the city medical examiner ruled that due to “compression of neck (chokehold),” Neely’s death is a homicide.

Neely did receive medical care after the chokehold on the subway.

Unlike AOC and Lander, who were not on the subway when the incident occurred, witnesses that were on the subway said Neely had a mental episode and that he had been acting in a “hostile and erratic manner” toward other passengers when the 24-year-old Marine intervened and restrained Neely in a chokehold.

The Marine was placed in custody by police and later released without criminal charges. Whether the case gets presented to a grand jury is up to the prosecutors.
