Republicans push resolution to 'recognize and honor' Daniel Penny for 'heroism and courage'
Fox News
Republican Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee introduced a resolution Thursday to “recognize and honor" Daniel Penny for his heroism on a New York City subway train this month.
Penny is charged with manslaughter in the May 1 chokehold death of Jordan Neely, a homeless man, aboard a subway train. Penny, a 24-year-old Marine veteran, was questioned by police that day and released, but cellphone video, which showed two other men holding Neely's arms as Penny held Neely in a chokehold for several minutes, went viral online. A medical examiner later ruled Neely's death a homicide, even though prosecutors noted Neely was yelling threats toward other subway passengers when Penny intervened.

Disturbed by the treatment received by Penny, Ogles, with assistance from other Republicans in the House, is making it clear where he stands on the issue.
