Daniel Penny's lawyer responds to having beers after verdict: 'No apologies here'

[@maplemutt158]

Why would anyone apologize for celebrating the acquittal of an unjust attempted prosecution of a hero?

[@FartedSoHard-I-WimperedSoftly]

Because we're suposed to live in a dystopian Orwellian society where the violant drug addict criminals are actually the victims.

[@gregchavez1534]

He did what he thought was right; I've yet to hear any evidence that indicates otherwise, and I have no problem either with the verdict or that knocked back a few beers in celebration. I don't think he's hero, however; in the end, his chosen method of restraint resulted in a death. Insisting that he is one seems unnecessarily provocative. This is a win for Penny and good sense. It was a loss for Neely's family and NYC.

[@maplemutt158]

@gregchavez1534 I respect your opinion. However, I don't know if in the heat of the moment, choosing an approach to restrain Neely was top of mind. It's sad when someone dies, for sure.

[@gregchavez1534]

@@maplemutt158 Thank you for pointing that out; Penny's failure neither was a legal *nor* moral one. From a root cause analysis perspective, Penny *share* of the blame (of which he owns far less than NYC) is restricted to how he conducted the hold. I.e., right idea, botched execution. Kids, don't try this at home, etc.
