The problem with these discussions is that people either want to apply hindsight thinking or bad faith argumentation to make their point. Like for fucks sake nobody is saying you should be allowed to execute people for being belligerent. People are saying if someone is posing a danger to others in a public place you should be allowed to restrain them and if the person is inadvertently harmed you shouldn’t go to prison for it.

This would be a really thought provoking comment if there hadn't just been a trial?

You have a right to defend yourself under natural law, which supersedes everything, no matter what country you are in or who is involved in the attack - a country can jail you for saving life but not in the name of justice.

Juries come solely from the English tradition, and exist today around the world because after the American Revolution, which was the first to distill the ideas of the Enlightenment into the foundation for a country, the same phenomenon propagated across the Continent and eventually the world.

The Netherlands certainly recognizes that people should not be jury, anyway.

And people are allowed to defend themselves.

But when the restrained person goes limp and losses consciousness and you keep on choking them it stops being self defence and becomes murder.

From what I've been reading that's indeed the real point of contention. I can't find information on what unfolded after Neely lost consciousness (allegedly after 2-3 minutes).
Generally the duration of unconsciousness varies between individuals, ranging from ~10-20 seconds. For Penny to be able to quickly turn Neely over and restrain him from the back (ideally together with the other passenger), he'd have to determine unconsciousness from behind him. That is very difficult if not outright impossible (ask any MMA fighter/ref how difficult this is during a real fight). That explains why Penny maintained the chokehold.
After Neely regained consciousness, I'd assume the struggle likely continued. It's possible that Penny never knew during the struggle that Neely lost consciousness.

So he struggled with an unconcious guy or what exactly are you saying?
I get that it's difficult in the moment and a deadly accident is entirely possible.... But choking an unconcious guy for several minutes(!) has nothing to do with "in the moment" or "it's hard to tell".

By that logic the guy that kneeled on George Floyd was actually surprisingly lenient with his way of restricting him.

I don't know how you misinterpreted my comment so badly. I said he fell unconscious, not that he was unconscious for several minutes. It was probably 10-20 seconds. Re-read the comment.

Do you have proof that he continued choking him for several minutes after he lost consciousness or are we just making things up as we go now

There's a difference between actively trying to choke a person out and having them in a chokehold. The former is trying to make them unconscious, the latter is holding them in a position that they can't get out of. The harder the squeeze, the more it moves from the latter to the former.
The severity of the struggle determines the likelihood of unconsciousness. If Neely was struggling very hard, then Penny would've had to squeeze harder to control him.
It's also very important to get the arm underneath the chin to perform a chokehold. The person being held can escape by tucking their chin underneath the arm and thus creating leverage. The person holding has to make sure this doesn't happen by keeping the arm underneath the chin. This creates a struggle that can result in unintentional unconsciousness.

Also important to mention that falling unsconscious doesn't generally result in death. Under professional guidance it can even be performed safely (as demonstrated by professional MMA fighters).
If you want to do the right thing, 80% of your job is done if you don't do the wrong thing.

If you fully block both carotid arteries it takes around something more than 10s to become unconscious iirc. Oh yeah the vertebral ones too, but they are harder to block.

There is video of the final minutes, I haven't looked for the video itself because I'm not into watching people die but it was shown to the jury and apparently he maintained the hold for nearly a minute after the victim stopped moving.
Prosecutors argued Penny’s initial attempt to defend his fellow passengers was understandable and “even laudable,” but that the student went too far and used lethal force unnecessarily. They argued he continued to choke Neely after some passengers exited the train and Neely stopped moving for nearly a minute.

I have no problem with him stepping in, I have no problem with him restraining him. And during that he can lose consciousness. I have a problem if he keeps choking him after he stops resisting and dies as a result.

I doubt average passengers can tell the difference from a distance between a safe chokehold and actively choking someone out. Most people don't watch/do MMA. Penny could've just laid there and held Neely in a less restrictive chokehold making sure that Neely wouldn't start struggling again after he wakes up. Not every chokehold is equal.

IMO the 2 killings being discussed ought to be chalked up to "society breaking from insufficient maintenance". Jordan Neely was having a really bad time and he was suffering. He needed help from society and he never got it. He was a victim.

This is where one of the very difficult moral questions comes into play. When someone is fundamentally a victim of society, as was the case with Jordan Neely, how should that factor into preventing harm done by a victim? This is a common moral fork in the road that is the core of many moral disagreements. The core of the question is "To what extent should a victim be punished for the person they become when society fails them?"

Children are harmed by watching people like Jordan Neely screaming demented stuff and generally frightening everyone. It is not good for kids. We can't pretend it is ok to say kids should just deal with it. People are being dishonest when they say Jordan Neely should have simply been left alone. Expecting kids to be raised in this kind of environments like this is immoral. We owe children better than that. Daniel Penny became a vigilante of sorts, but on the complete opposite side of the moral spectrum for me. So even though I am saying I understand the mechanism of why he did what he did, I want to be clear I think he did a bad thing. On the other hand, Luigi was pushed by the failures of society to do a good thing.

But just to be clear, Neely should not have been killed. It was very bad and way more unfortunate than the littering Luigi did. Daniel Penny is not a hero. He is an unfortunate effect of a broken society. I don't think he had bad intentions, but his actions clearly made a bad situation much worse. On the other hand, Luigi made an enormous improvement in every possible way.

When society fails to protect its citizens, they will protect themselves. Even though I find it unfortunate Luigi dealing with the situation himself caused harm to society by littering the street with a warm bag of trash on the sidewalk, the core of the issue is a government failing to provide proper waste management solutions. Luigi was tortured into striking out against the health insurance industry by a prolonged failure of our government to uphold their end of the social contract. Insurance kills too many people. Its that simple. Unless someone else is doing something, no one can fault Luigi for what he did. Nothing being done isn't good enough. Something must be done. If everyone else is just going to sit on their hands, I guess we need to forgive Luigi for littering.

It is fair to say that Daniel Penny was pushed to a breaking point after watching this entirely dysfunctional society manifest day after day. I can vaguely gesture towards certain parts of SF, Portland, Seattle, etc, as places where children are forced to carefully walk through areas and pretend its not insanely fucked up watching people scratch their skin off screaming racial slurs. Of course it is super bad and tragic that Daniel Penny took it way too far by killing the guy. But I think both Jordan Neely and the warm bag of trash were both killed for the same fundamental reason: criminal mismanagement of society by our government.

Yeah that would be my guess too but then that only supports my argument. Simply the threat of prosecution is sufficient to deter behavior, regardless if a conviction was scored.

Without having someone there to outright murder the guy, she will just have to ignore him until he goes away like in every other country.

Right, the preferred strategy is to try to ignore them and hope you aren’t attacked. Usually it works, sometimes you get attacked. That’s just life in the big city.

Reminds me of when Andrew Yang said during the Democratic debate that a female friend of his was randomly punched in the face by a psychotic person and we should expand the capacity of psychiatric hospitals for people that can’t function in society without harming people. He got booed.
