Daniel Penny Did Not Lynch Anyone
from The Gist Hosted by Peach Fish Productions
The acquittal of Daniel Penny, who choked a mentally ill homeless man to death on the New York City Subway, ends the criminal exposure of the former Marine. The charge of "lynching" trails him and the incident, however. But Mike argues the term, as applied to this incident, is both ahistorical and less-resonant with the average American today. Plus, Dave Daley of FairVote drops by to discuss the voting on ranked choice voting. It did well in cities, but was mostly rejected when on state ballots. And plumbing the depths of the "Luigi" discourse.
