NYers are accustomed to living with 8million people daily. Yes, we have seen angry people on the subway, even someone who is yelling. If that scares you to the point of murder, wow. When things get weird, in other words it's not just someone screaming because they are late for work, NYers move to another subway car. Not unusual for commuters to do this just to get a better seat or because someone smells bad.
The Marine has no excuse for not knowing this because as a Long Island resident, I'm sure he has done this on the LIRR. Not killing someone with your bare hands because he scared you, moving to another car. Then you are distanced from potential danger, and you call 911, contact the conductor, and the transit police will meet the train in the next station. You can even get off the train and catch the next train that is coming in approximately 5 minutes.
Often, once the car is empty, the guy will yell it out by himself and start to calm down while he slumps into an empty seat. This Marine killed a dehydrated hungry man in the middle of an episode because he got scared? Not because he was attacked, because he came at Neely from behind and applied the chokehold immediately. Neely touched no one that day, he was yelling and screaming and he probably looked scary. NYC doesn't applaud vigilantes.

I guess I should be glad this guy "jony" knows nothing about the justice system. Each assault incident is evaluated on its own merits. If Neely did other things on other days, and I'm sure he did, those cases were already adjudicated. A judge gets to decide if evidence from prior cases gets admitted in a new incident. The Marine who is playing judge and executioner does not have that right, and he did not have that knowledge unless he has superman style ESP. Verbal harassment is not physical assault. On this day, Neely was hungry and thirsty and yelling about it. Neely never touched Penny, he didn't touch anyone that day. If Penny had used his brains, and the leadership skills the Marine corps taught him, he would have moved to another car, suggested that all the passengers move to another car (a 5 minute strategy super easy to accomplish) then called 911 and contacted the conductor. If Neely had an outstanding warrant, great! The transit cops would have been glad to see Mr Neely when they met the train in the next station. No hand to hand combat, just using your brains.

Jony jony please stop. You know you are making stuff up. Crime rates have been coming down from the pandemic surge, and NYPD has been getting guns off the street at a good clip. Before the pandemic, NYC was enjoying historically low crime rates. Gun control got us there. Gun control works. Is that why you are angry? Are you a gun vendor?
I don't expect to hear any more from you, Jony. Calm down, take a deep breath, take several deep breaths. It's just a ride on the subway, it's not a test of your manhood. But in NYC, you are expected to control yourself, to pay attention, to use your brains, and to live together with other people. Otherwise, you might get charged, or you might get confused for an insane criminal acting out in public. I don't expect to hear more from you. Be nice.

NYPD does protect and serve. They do mess up sometimes, but they have never said that they don't need to do that job. I'm not sure what nonsense your small town police dept is trying to get away with, but police are paid to protect and serve. As for SCOTUS, they already tried to swat away a 100+ year gun control law in NYS with the Breun case. Please read the opinion, because Breun continues to allow for gun regulations, and NYS has already rewritten their gun control laws to comply with Breun. NYC and NYS are strict gun control environments. Please don't take advice from people who don't know what they are talking about, because that can get you jail time. Highest gun death rates: Mississippi, Louisiana, New Mexico, Alabama, Wyoming. Lowest gun death rates: Massachusetts, Hawaii, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island. Gun control works.

@BrandonMalveaux-v7v A bit of history: Bernie Goetz served time in jail. NYC doesn't applaud vigilantes.
If you are scared of the subway, take a cab. Really. If someone is yelling on the subway, first you pay attention. Is it a happy high school student who just got out of school? Is someone late for work? Oh, no, this guy sounds extra weird. Let me move to the next subway car. Okay, most everyone else figure it out too, and they exited the car too. Now the guy is in the empty car by himself yelling it out, maybe slumped in a seat calming down a bit. Meanwhile, you can now contact the conductor and call 911, and you are feeling calmer too. See how that works when you use your brains??
When you are on a subway, pay attention. Helps keep your pocket from getting picked, helps you to react to a weird situation that could get dangerous. You move away, contact the conductor, contact transit police and they meet the train in the next station. Kill someone with your bare hands because their yelling scared you? Really? That is not what NYers do, not what Marines are trained to do. I feel confident about that.
