The Daniel Penny saga finally came to a close.
Penny was acquitted of manslaughter.
But golfing legend Phil Mickelson made this comment about Daniel Penny that has everyone losing their minds.
Phil Mickelson speaks out on Daniel Penny verdict
Former Marine Daniel Penny was acquitted by a New York jury on second-degree manslaughter charges in the death of Jordan Neely.
Neely was threatening passengers on a subway when Penny subdued him with a submission hold.
Neely, who was a drug user with severe mental health problems, later died after paramedics arrived.
Reactions to Penny’s acquittal were polarized.
Black Lives Matter New York grifter Hawk Newsome told the press, “We need some Black vigilantes. . .People want to jump up and choke us and kill us for being loud? How about we do the same when they attempt to oppress us? . . . I’m tired.”
However, six-time major championship golfer Phil Mickelson had a different response.
He wrote on social media:
Random thoughts
Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth are great in the booth.
Day of the Jackal is an incredible show.
If a deranged individual threatens to kill you let’s hope there’s a Daniel Penny around.

Penny nearly railroaded
A lot of people shared Mickelson’s sentiments.
The Left is determined to criminalize self-defense.
Kyle Rittenhouse nearly went to prison for murder after shooting three far-left terrorists who were burning down Kenosha, Wisconsin chased him and attacked him.
Rittenhouse was demonized relentlessly by the media, but he was ultimately acquitted.
He even shared a message of support for Penny.
Rittenhouse commented, “I understand better than almost anyone the joy Daniel Penny is feeling right now. Today’s verdict speaks for itself—the jury got it right. I pray that Daniel gets to decide the direction of his life, not the media or bad actors. He deserves to live the life he wants to live.”
The fact that Penny was charged with manslaughter in the first place was preposterous.
During the trial, The New York Post reported that “forensic pathologist Dr. Satish Chundru testified that Penny’s chokehold wasn’t what killed Neely, but instead ‘the combined effects of sickle-cell crisis, the schizophrenia, the struggle and restraint, and the synthetic marijuana.’ Trial evidence has shown that Neely had K2, a debilitating street drug that can trigger psychosis, in his system at the time of his death. Chundru’s testimony is bolstered by the fact that Neely was still alive when cops responded to the scene.”
George Soros-backed District Attorney Alvin Bragg pursued the case because he wanted to make an example out of Penny.
The late conservative political writer Samuel Francis wrote in Chronicles in 1994, “You can accuse the federal leviathan of many things—corruption, incompetence, waste, bureaucratic strangulation—but mere anarchy, the lack of effective government, is not one of them. Yet at the same time, the state does not perform effectively or justly its basic duty of enforcing order and punishing criminals, and in this respect its failures do bring the country, or important parts of it, close to a state of anarchy. But that semblance of anarchy is coupled with many of the characteristics of tyranny, under which innocent and law-abiding citizens are punished by the state or suffer gross violations of their rights and liberty at the hands of the state. The result is what seems to be the first society in history in which elements of both anarchy and tyranny pertain at the same time and seem to be closely connected with each other and to constitute, more or less, opposite sides of the same coin.”
What Francis was describing is anarcho-tyranny.
Penny’s acquittal could be a sign that New Yorkers are fed up with the status quo.
