Original Note:
Daniel Penny was not "rewarded." He protected people on a subway train from a violent man, and was prosecuted for it. A jury agreed that he was acting in self-defense, and found him not guilty. There is no evidence that race had anything to do with Penny's actions. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/daniel-penny-found-not-guilty-chokehold-death-jordan-neely-rcna180775 https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/12/09/daniel-penny-trial-verdict-not-guilty/
