Dem who demanded 'justice' after subway chokehold death skewered for post about NYC assaults
A New York City Council member — who last year demanded "justice" for an "erratic" homeless man who died while being subdued by subway passengers he was threatening — is being cast as a hypocrite for questioning why ordinary citizens have seemingly ignored a recent string of violent attacks against women in the Big Apple.
"Where are the men calling this out?" Amanda Farías, a Democratic member representing the 18th District, asked in a post on social media app X.
Farías was responding to a post in which the New York City Women's Caucus stated it was "deeply disturbed [and] concerned about widespread reports of attacks against women in NYC that have been confirmed by the NYPD."
Several women have posted to TikTok and other social media in recent days claiming that strangers have punched them in the face or the head while walking in New York City.
Shortly after she shared the comment, Farías, who was first elected to her post in 2021, began facing an onslaught of criticism from users who countered that most people choose not to defend others in the city due to fear of retaliation by government officials.
"Afraid to step up because woke politicians will try to destroy their lives?" asked Robby Starbuck, a former Tennessee congressional candidate and conservative commentator.
Starbuck's post included an image of Daniel Penny, the Marine Corps veteran and college student charged with manslaughter in the chokehold death of Jordan Neely, a homeless Black man who eyewitnesses said became violent on a Manhattan subway in May 2023.
Other users echoed Starbuck, including Christina Pushaw, a former aide to Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

"Why aren’t men standing up against criminals who attack women in NYC? Great question…," Pushaw wrote in a sarcastic jab.
"You support locking them up," Ryan Girdusky, founder of the 1776 Project PAC, wrote in another reply.
"They trying to not end up like Daniel Penny," commentator Mike Cernovich wrote....

Talk about a totally tone deaf moron Council Woman. First she chastises a good Sumatran then she asks why aren't they stepping up. Truly amazing.
