Ron DeSantis has an interesting definition of "Good Samaritan"

DeSantis supports Marine accused of manslaughter in NYC chokehold death  

Gov. Ron DeSantis voiced his support for Daniel Penny, the Marine charged in the chokehold death of Jordan Neely, in a tweet Friday.

“We must defeat the Soros-Funded DAs, stop the Left’s pro-criminal agenda, and take back the streets for law abiding citizens,” DeSantis wrote in a tweet with a fundraiser for Penny’s legal funds. “We stand with Good Samaritans like Daniel Penny. Let’s show this Marine… America’s got his back.”Gov. Ron DeSantis voiced his support for Daniel Penny, the Marine charged in the chokehold death of Jordan Neely, in a tweet Friday.

Penny caused national outrage after he put Neely, a Michael Jackson impersonator who had been dealing with mental health issues and homelessness, in a chokehold for about 15 minutes on a New York City subway, according to a witness that spoke to NBC New York.


Umm...DeSantis can say what he wants, but a "Good Samaritan" doesn't kill someone.

Actually, this one sounds like murder (guess that I shouldn't be seated on a jury hearing this matter, but since I'm not a resident of NYC, that probably isn't going to happen anyway :) )
