Abstract

The article discusses the death of Jordan Neely, a 30-year-old Black man, which has been ruled a homicide following an incident on a New York City subway where a white rider placed him in a chokehold. Civil rights activist Rev. Al Sharpton drew parallels between Neely's death and the 1984 subway shooting by Bernhard Goetz, emphasizing the dangers of vigilantism. The article highlights the complexities surrounding crime, mental health, and societal responses, noting that while some praise the actions of the subway rider, others criticize the extreme response and call for better mental health support.
