Original Note:
Lynching is “to put to death by mob action without legal approval/permission”. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/lynch Three men restrained Neely after he began acting aggressively & threatening to harm people. As it is legally permissible to use physical force to defend others, this was not a lynching. https://ypdcrime.com/penal.law/article35.php https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/ny-possible-charges-marine-michael-jackson-impersonator-jordan-neely-20230504-plaznkv5pjbuxaqdu2tlxpieqq-story.html https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/nyc-subway-chokehold-death-ruled-a-homicide-as-groups-demand-justice/4301660/
