Please describe how we can provide a "consensus". Several news stations interviewees new yorkers with a mix of responses showing that some people believed Penny's actions justified some did not, shall we provide links to dozens of videos with these interviews? 2601:646:4201:6370:C4A1:5BF:32B:5369 (talk) 02:17, 22 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
I honestly believe much of this article should be rewritten. It seems quite biased, heavily insinuating the idea that what Daniel Penny was unjust. 98.115.49.65 (talk) 02:39, 26 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
Very much agree. The tone and even the writing style are biased. Please change/edit to be more neutral - especially "should have known." Thanks! 2603:6011:C003:1256:D188:F3CC:F6AC:C762 (talk) 01:57, 12 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Why isn't this alleged? edit

there has been no conviction on this. The United States still holds an innocent until proven guilty legal system. Throughout the entire article it is described as a homicide perpetrated by Daniel penny which has yet to be proven in a court of law.

It seems for accuracy sake this article should refer to this as an alleged homicide and list Daniel penny as the alleged perpetrator. 2601:646:4201:6370:C4A1:5BF:32B:5369 (talk) 02:13, 22 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

There is no question that Perry committed homicide--he does not deny that, nor does anyone else. The question is whether it was a criminally culpable homicide. If it were described as 'murder' or 'manslaughter,' I would agree with you. But it is not. There is no need to state as 'alleged' facts that are not in doubt. Cheers.

Please add the following relevant information to the biography of the deceased. From Newsweek "A New York City police spokesperson told Newsweek that Neely's record has 42 prior arrests, dating between 2013 and 2021. They include four for alleged assault, while others involved accusations of transit fraud and criminal trespass. At the time of his death, Neely had one active warrant for an alleged assault in connection with a 2021 incident."

Please note that Wikipedia is supposed to be a neutral political source and as the fact of his criminality would be relevant to assessing the likely impact on his behaviour (more criminal behaviour) it should be included in this post. In simple English, the man wasn't a saint, so please stop trying to pretend he was and give people the full information so they can make up their own minds. 86.42.34.204 (talk) 11:45, 7 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Comment: Other potentially relevant sources: CNN, ABC7 NY, New York Daily News, Forbes. Not saying this should or should not be included. Though I'll point out that this has been discussed extensively before. Askarion 14:02, 7 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
