"Utterly sickening.
There are moments in life that define us. Moments we're given a choice between right and wrong. Moments that determine whether we are men of honor or mere cogs in the machine.
Daniel Penny had one such moment in the New York City subway on May 1, 2023. On that day, Daniel Penny proved himself to be a man of honor.
What we see in this photograph of Daniel Penny in police custody is the moment when every single cop had a choice between doing the right thing and doing the wrong thing.
And every single cop chose to do the wrong thing.
Kindly spare me every last ounce of…
~ "They're just doing their jobs."
~ "Those decisions are above their pay grade."
~ "They have families to think about."
~ "They have bills to pay."
…and any other excuse for us to keep cowering in fear. To participate in the total destruction of our own civilization. To do nothing.
Spare me the Sean Hannity lapel pin talking point about how "99% of the rank and file are good people."
Spare me the absurdity of all absurdities about "trusting our system of justice to get it right."
"But you know some of those cops didn't want to do it!"
Right. Because they know it's wrong. And they did it anyway.
"But… but… but… those cops have kids!"
Yes. And those cops betray their own flesh and blood when they go arrest the last guy alive who was willing to do the right thing in the country that their children are supposed to inherit. And in the coming years, when those cops' children are shot, stabbed, and raped in the same city those cops so proudly "serve," won't those kids be so proud of their dads for putting a stop to anyone willing to put a stop to violent mayhem.
"So what do you want them to do?"
I want them to do the right thing: Refuse to arrest Daniel Penny.
I want every cop in that city to say "no" - and tell that sack of shit DA Alvin Bragg that if he wants Daniel Penny arrested, good luck doing it himself.
If evil people issue you orders to do what you know is wrong, and you dutifully execute those orders, what does that make you?
Hey - I understand - if you just do what the boss says, you won't miss the big game on Sunday. It's way easier to comply with evil, forsake honor, and catch the game than it is to say "No" and deal with the consequences of doing what's right.
So stay comfortable. Don't rock the boat. Keep going along to get along. Keep following orders from the worst people on Earth.
And then keep asking why we have so many problems without ever once looking in the mirror.
Yes, the people at the top of the pyramid are the biggest problem - but the compliance of their foot soldiers - people we're face to face with every day - can no longer be excused.
Whether or not we're willing to face it - we are in a life or death struggle.
There are no more excuses.
There are no hills left to not die on.
One cop - one cop - needed to say "No."
One cop needed to be willing to put his own ass on the line because it's what's right.
From there, it either sparks a chain reaction of what's right - or it sets that cop apart from a sea of cowards, consequences be damned.
But we don't find out if that chain reaction would have happened, because not one cop was willing to do what's right.
The epidemic that plagues our society doesn't come from a lab in China - it comes from within ourselves. Our nation has devolved into the largest collection of eunuchized cowards the world has ever known. We allow ourselves to be held hostage to insanity in exchange for fleeting comforts that our posterity will never know. Few appear to understand that the restoration of Western Civilization might conflict with the restoration of their hobby car, and could even result in interruptions to their streaming sports subscription.
When one of us breaks free of our shackles and does the right thing - as Daniel Penny did - the physically weak but institutionally powerful pinworms in charge unleash the full power of their corrupt system to extinguish the flame of strength, righteousness, and order, and remind the rest of us that doing what's right will not be tolerated - especially if you're White.
With all of my heart, I wish nothing but the worst for those who comply with this inversion of reality.
It's time we make shame great again."
