I think it was a tragic death, but I don't think Penny killed him intentionally and was sticking his own neck out to protect other people.

A few quotes from the article:

Jordan Neely, 30, who suffered from mental illness, stormed onto the northbound F train at about 2:30 p.m. May 1 screaming and threatening passengers, she said.

"The people on that train, we were scared. We were scared for our lives,"

— the passenger said

"I’m sitting on a train reading my book, and, all of a sudden, I hear someone spewing this rhetoric. He said, ‘I don’t care if I have to kill an F, I will. I’ll go to jail, I’ll take a bullet,’" recalled the woman, who is in her 60s.

The terrified passengers crowded toward the exit doors.
...

Penny stepped in when Neely started using the word "kill" and "bullet."

"Why in the world would you take a bullet? Why? You don’t take a bullet because you’ve snatched something from somebody’s hand. You take a bullet for violence," she added.

The witness said it was clear to her that Penny waited until the last minute to intervene for the sake of his fellow passengers.

"Mr. Penny cared for people. That’s what he did. That is his crime," she told Fox News Digital. After the altercation, she and at least three other passengers thanked him.

But he seemed shaken, the woman said.

"Nobody wants to kill anybody. Mr. Penny didn’t want to kill that man," she said. "You should have seen the way Mr. Penny looked. He was distraught. He was very, very, very visibly distressed. And he didn’t go. He didn’t run. He stayed."
...

The narrative that has emerged has become about race — a White man who fatally choked a Black man, the witness said.

"This isn't about race. This is about people of all colors who were very, very afraid and a man who stepped in to help them," she said. "Race is being used to divide us."

In 2021, he punched a 67-year-old woman in the face, breaking her nose and eye socket.

He has cycled in and out of hospitals and jails his entire adult life and was on the city’s "Top 50" list of homeless people most in need of outreach.

The problems facing New York City are now plaguing the U.S., the witness noted.

"It’s not looking that good for us," she said. "You know, we were supposed to be an example to other nations but are turning into a Third World country."
