‘IT’S DISGUSTING’: AOC Accuses Marine of ‘Murder’ on NYC Subway
Radical Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez accused a United States Marine of “murder” on the subway Wednesday after the service member took-down a mentally disturbed homeless person using a chokehold.
“Jordan Neely was murdered. But bc Jordan was houseless and crying 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. It’s disgusting,” posted AOC on Twitter.
It is appalling how so many take advantage of headlines re: crime for an obsolete “tough on crime” political, media, & budgetary gain, but when a public murder happens that reinforces existing power structures, those same forces rush to exonerate&look the other way. We shouldn’t.

“I don’t think that’s very responsible at the time where we are still investigating the situation,” Mayor Adams said on “CNN Primetime” Wednesday night.
According to the NYPD, the victim was previously arrested more than 40 times, including assault.
Rep. Ayanna Pressley called the incident a “lynching.”
He was 30 years old.
Black men deserve to grow old—not be lynched on a Subway because they were having a mental health crisis.
