The Post article:
Jordan Neely, the homeless man choked to death on the subway last week, was reportedly listed on a city roster of people on the streets who desperately needed help.
Referred to colloquially as the “Top 50” list, the internal catalogue held by the city’s Department of Homeless Services details which people are cycling in and out of homeless shelters and mental health treatment centers, a source told The Post Monday.
If you read the articles, he was among the top persons in NYC that various agencies was in need of serious mental health help, and a danger to the public.
Neely had 42 prior arrests:

Exclusive | Jordan Neely had long history of mental health issues before tragic NYC subway chokehold death
Jordan Neely had more than a dozen run-ins with police due to his mental health issues — part of a lengthy history of instability that was tragically never remedied.nypost.com
He had an active warrant for his arrest out for aggravated assault at the time of his death.
Seems to me that NYC fucked up big time in letting this serial felon and criminal, who had serious mental health issues and was off his meds for months, roam the streets looking for another crime to commit. This was a person that needed to be institutionalized for his own good and the safety of the public. But NYC let him roam free and he ended up threatening innocent people and as a result died.
If anything, the Leftist government of NYC is to blame for his death.
Now, back to our regular program of righties blaming the victim.
