@americareporters: YES! Daniel Penny did what the city would not. A Marine on a subway car restrained a man who was threatening passengers. A jury heard the evidence and acquitted him. That should have been the end of it. Manhattan still put him through a political trial. Prosecutors charged a Good Samaritan after police initially let him go. That is how you teach every rider to look at the floor the next time someone starts screaming about killing people. If he takes Bragg to court for malicious prosecution, he is asking a simple question: who protects the people who protect strangers? Cities that punish the helper will get fewer helpers. Reward courage. Stop treating self-defense as a scandal.
