Jordan Neely Death: Former Marine Daniel Penny Charged With 2nd-Degree Manslaughter

Justice is not a destination, but a journey. And when we first heard that Daniel Penny was merely questioned and released, we knew that this journey would be long and arduous. But we refuse to be deterred. Today, we take a moment to acknowledge the first step we have taken towards justice. It might be a small step, but it is a step in the right direction.

We are now closer to our goal than we were a week ago. With Daniel Penny finally arrested, we can feel a glimmer of hope. However, this is just the beginning. As we speak, arrangements are being made to ensure that he faces the consequences of his actions. The wheels of justice have started turning, and there is no stopping us now.

In Search of Swifter Justice

When Mr. Zachary and I spoke with the district attorney, we expressed our impatience with the pace of the investigation. We thanked them for their condolences, but we demanded more. We wanted an arrest, and we wanted it now. It seemed unfair that they were still gathering evidence and had no timeline for prosecution. We made it clear that there was already enough evidence to proceed, enough to begin the process of justice.

Time is ticking. The delay is not only unjust but frustrating. Our city cries out for justice, and the family demands immediate action. Thankfully, yesterday brought good news. We were informed that the arrest would finally take place today. This is a victory, but we must keep pushing forward.

The Battle of Narratives

As we continue this fight for justice, we must address the claims made by Daniel Penny. He alleges that he saw Jordan ball up his fist. However, we must scrutinize this assertion. On May 1st, Daniel was questioned by the police, and in the statement released by him and his attorneys, there was no mention of Jordan's actions. It is notable that Daniel's narrative seems to conveniently evolve over time, while Jordan's story only grows worse in his retelling.

Yet, amidst these conflicting accounts, we must remember one crucial aspect. Jordan Neely was a person who was deeply loved, a person who battled mental illness and faced tragedy at a young age. It is essential to understand and empathize with his struggles before we discuss the charges or focus solely on the person responsible for his untimely death.

A Grateful Acknowledgment

Before we delve deeper into the details of this case, we must express our gratitude to the individuals who stood by Jordan throughout his life, as well as in his death. Jordan had a family, a support system that loved and cared for him unconditionally. Despite the challenges he faced with his mental health, he always had a place to call home, and people who cherished him.

Let it be known that when someone suffers from a mental illness, they may choose to withdraw from their loved ones. It is crucial to understand that Jordan's family provided unwavering support, regardless of the circumstances. They were always there for him, offering him solace and sanctuary.

Today, we extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who ever supported Jordan. You were his rock, and he represented the strength, resilience, and love that exists within our community. He was one of us—a cherished member of our family.

The Journey Continues

As we move forward, let us remember that justice is not a sprint but a marathon. We have taken the first few steps, but there is a long road ahead. We must remain resolute, determined to see this journey through to the end. Our collective voice, combined with the support of the community, will ensure that justice prevails.

So, let us stand together, unwavering in our pursuit of truth and accountability. Let us ignite a fire within ourselves, carrying with us a buzz of excitement and positivity. And let us remember, no matter how dark it may seem, we have the power to create change, to seek justice, and to honor the memory of those who are no longer with us.

This is just the beginning. The journey continues, and we will not rest until justice is served. Together, we are unstoppable.
