Daniel Penny is an even better person than we thought.

Daniel Penny says he has zero regrets, says he couldn't live with the guilt if someone was hurt on the subway by Jordan Neely.
While speaking to Jeanine Pirro on Tuesday, Penny admitted he was uncomfortable talking about speaking to the media (who can blame him?) but made clear he was not a violent human being.
Penny is an even better person than we thought.

The Marine said he would do a million court appearances if it meant saving someone on the subway.

"I'm not a confrontational person... this type of [interview] is very uncomfortable. All this attention and limelight is very uncomfortable. I would prefer without it."

"I didn't want any type of attention or praise or. And I still don't."

"The guilt I would have felt if someone did get hurt, if he did do what he was threatening to do, I would never be able to live with myself."

"I'll take a million court appearances and people calling me names and people hating me just to keep one of those people from getting hurt or killed."

The trial of Penny centered around the events on May 1, 2023, when an unhinged Neely boarded an F train, displaying erratic behavior, including shouting threats at passengers. Penny placed Neely in a chokehold, a technique he had learned during his military service, for several minutes, after which Neely stopped moving and was later pronounced dead.

Nelly had been arrested 42 times over the past decade for various offenses including trying to kidnap a little girl. At the time of his death, Neely had an active warrant for an alleged assault.
