A portion of an interview between Marine veteran Daniel Penny and co-host Jeanine Pirro aired Tuesday on Fox News Channel's “The Five,” in which he spoke about public safety policy. .
co-host Jesse Waters said in an exclusive interview with Judge Jeanine Pirro. It's scheduled to air tomorrow on Fox Nation, a day after a Manhattan jury acquits former Marine Jordan Neely of strangling him to death on a subway train.He was seen subduing Neely on the subway floor. He revealed what was going through his head at the moment. A homeless man with schizophrenia who was high on K2 and violently abusing passengers. ”
Penny said: “He was just threatening to kill people. He was threatening to go to prison forever, to go to prison for the rest of his life. And now I'm on the ground with him, very angry. He's lying on his back in a vulnerable position. If I had let go now, he would have turned around.”
Pirro said: “Why is that a weak position?”
Penny said, “If you let him go, I'm riding on his back now, so turn around and start doing what he told me to do.''
he continued. “I mean, I'm not a confrontational person. I don't extend myself very much, so this kind of thing is very uncomfortable. Being in this kind of attention and the limelight is very uncomfortable and I don't like it. I don't want any attention or praise, and I don't want any. I would never be able to live with the guilt I would feel if someone was hurt by something I did. I would never let one of them get hurt or killed. I'm going to go to court a million times and accept that people will say bad things about me and that people will hate me just to get this done.''
Penny added, “These are their policies, and I'm not trying to get political. I don't really want to make enemies, but I think in fact we already do.” But what I'm saying is, these are their policies that clearly aren't working, and even though the people, the public in general, don't support them, their egos are too big and they're wrong. I just can't admit that it exists. ”
