So I came across this wild article today about this ex-Marine who allegedly choked a guy to death on the subway in New York City. Apparently the veteran’s name is Daniel Penny, and he just turned himself into the police after being accused of taking a passenger’s life using a chokehold.
Now, I know this sounds pretty heavy and intense, but here’s the thing that struck me the most about this whole situation: Penny used to train in the Marines and had knowledge of hand-to-hand combat, yet he still used an illegal move on the subway. It just goes to show you that even people with combat training can get into trouble if they don’t use their skills responsibly.
Overall, it’s a tragic situation and definitely raises questions about the use of force in public spaces. It’s important to remember that when we’re out in public, we should all try to keep the peace and avoid using physical violence as much as possible.
