The video of Jordan Neely's death is going viral, and it should teach us an important lesson.
A 30-year-old Michael Jackson impersonator was killed on a New York subway train on Wednesday by a 24-year-old US Marine, who has not yet been named by New York police. According to bystanders, the passenger placed Jordan Neely in a chokehold after he began ‘screaming’ on the F-line train, telling passengers he was ‘fed up’ of not having any food or drink. Neely is known to have been homeless and had a history of mental ill health.
The passenger responsible for Neely’s death was questioned and released by police. While a homicide ruling does mean death caused by another person, it does not legally mean a murder charge will be brought – it is now up to prosecutors to determine if the man will be charged. Naturally, there is outrage online following the incident. Juan Alberto Vazquez, who is a freelance journalist who filmed the incident, told the New York Times that Neely was screaming to passengers ‘I don't have food, I don't have a drink, I'm fed up… I don't mind going to jail and getting life in prison. I'm ready to die.’
The disturbing video has now been shared countless times, and it’s perhaps worth noting that such a video can cause extreme.
