"Typically, when dozens of people witness someone killing another person in a
public space, one of two things happens: The killer is arrested or they flee.
The tabloids might dub them “subway killer.”
None of that happened on Monday after a 24-year-old white former U.S. Marine
whose name has not been made public killed 30-year-old Jordan Neely, who was
Black, on an F train in the NoHo area of Manhattan. The 24-year-old man did not
flee. He was not arrested. And the tabloids — along with more respected news
outlets — issued glowing appraisals of him.
The unusual treatment may have had something to do with the victim: Neely was
unhoused and had a history of mental illness."
