On the 9th of December, Danial Penny was somehow acquitted of all charges in the chokehold death of Jordan Neely on a subway train in NYC. When Jordan had some kind of meltdown on the train, Penny got him into a chokehold-and held the choke on until Jordan Neely died. Once again, a Black man has been choked to death by white America.

In response, protesters took over the 63ed and Lexington NYC subway stop OCCUPYING THE TRACKS to blockade the entire subway line. This mode of protest requires taking serious risks but was no doubt deemed necessary given the danger posed to Black folks by both cops and racist vigilante killers.
