Daniel Penny Acquitted, Bragg's Assault on Safety, Lefties Excuse CEO Killer

from 3 Martini Lunch – Political Humor & Commentary · host Jim Geraghty & Greg Corombos – Political Humor Commentary

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they breathe a sigh of relief over the Daniel Penny verdict, condemn Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s disastrous impact on public safety, and unpack the shocking story of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s alleged killer.First, they applaud the New York City jury for acquitting Daniel Penny of criminally negligent homicide after he restrained a threatening subway passenger. Jim and Greg argue that Penny, who acted as a Good Samaritan, should never have faced charges and are relieved he won’t face imprisonment for protecting others.First, they're very glad to see a New York City jury acquit Daniel Penny on a charge of criminally negligent homicide after restraining a man on the subway who had been threatening and menacing numerous passengers. Penny should never have faced charges and should have been commended for his actions, but at least he won't be incarcerated for being a Good Samaritan.Next, they criticize media outlets for badly misrepresenting the facts of the Penny case and spotlight the head of Black Lives Matter in New York City for calling for black vigilantes. Despite Penny’s acquittal, they warn that Alvin Bragg’s actions as district attorney discourage people from intervening to protect their neighbors, leaving New Yorkers less safe.Finally, they react to the arrest of Luigi Mangione, the Ivy League graduate accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. They discuss how the details of the case contradict widespread assumptions and condemn commentators who justify or celebrate the murder due to grievances with health insurance practices.Please visit our great sponsors:Lumenhttps://lumen.me/3MLVisit Lumen.me/3ML for 15% off your purchase.NetSuitehttps://NetSuite.com/MARTINIDownload your FREE CFO’s Guide to AI and Machine Learning at NetSuite.com/MARTINIOmaha Steakshttps://omahasteaks.comSave 50% off sitewide during the Christmas gift buying season and be sure to use promo codeTHREE ML for an extra $30 off.New episodes every weekday. 👉 Subscribe to the show so you never miss a moment.Follow us for more daily clips, updates, and commentary:FacebookInstagramYoutubeOther InfoWebsite
