The military trainer said that Marines are taught to render a person unconscious in seconds. Mr. Penny held Jordan Neely, a homeless man, for six minutes.

Jordan Neely was killed aboard an NYC subway train in May 2023 by a white marine who calls himself trying to play hero. BOSSIP reported extensively on the incident in which that white man, Daniel Penny, applied a chokehold for so long that Neely eventually stopped breathing and died in front of a train car of commuters.
