Desantis publicly supporting Daniel Penny:

Sigh, while a multi-arrest homeless guy who punches old ladies in the face prolly isn't the martyr to stand behind, a guy who went too far in tackling that guy and killed him accidentally but unnecessarily shouldn't be a hero either. Why can't people just leave it for what it is - a shitty unfortunate events on the subway, not a fairly clear defining Bernard Goetz moment.

Because Desantis wants to promote the vigilante ethos where there's "stand your ground" laws and mass gun ownership. And leftie activisists help by continually pushing "A.C.A.B." And there the twain meets. Normies who just want civilization and policiing are stuck in the middle. The Daniel Perry v. Jordan Neely story is the perfect metaphor for both narratives.
Could just as well ask: why wouldn't lefties leave the George Floyd story alone and let the legal system do its thing?Because: the video. Protesters wanted vigilante 'justice'. With Daniel Perry you have: the photographs.
We didn't need any Daniel Perry's (nor Bernhard Goetz's) during the Bloomberg years, the subway system was civilized. I honestly don't know where he put the homeless crazies, but they weren't on the subway.
If you don't support policing, you got nothing. Security is #1 consideration.
Righties like Desantis talk the talk of supporting police but in reality they would prefer to 'defund' as much as possible and have more vigilantism, in order to lower taxes as much as possible. Lefties who protest against policing either don't get it or are anarchists who likewise want less government Government, rule of law and the policing you need to insure it are what you should be for. You are either on board with that or you're with the libertarians and anarchists, where yes, everyone who doesn't believe the fairly tale that everyone is basically good, should have a gun.

It's a perfect political narrative and smart politicos know it:
GOP casts accused Jordan Neely killer as ‘Good Samaritan’ to hammer Dems on crime
Republicans have rallied in support of Daniel Penny, who is facing second-degree manslaughter charges.

^ so ONCE AGAIN, it was all kabuki. (I finally got smart enough not to waste time following that long show.)

And fwiw, I think Democratic partisan activists pay too much attention to those 69 GOP House members, as if they represent all national GOP, TOTHEIR OWN DETRIMENT. (Likewise, GOP partisans play up the wokee antics of many of those 43 Dems, but they do it with less detriment.)

He comes across quite well.
Not enough for Huff post which has to label a Congressman a "House Negro" and "Uncle Tom".
