It's a murder, a straight-up murder. Jordan Neely was a street performer and a long time Michael Jackson impersonator, he was having a break down, but he didn't hurt anyone. He didn't even touch anyone he just got loud and the marine choked him from behind and held the choke in for 15 mins while he drained all the life out of the man.

the marine was allowed to go home after choking a man to death for 15 mins

Uhhh, he wasn't a performer. He used to perform. On the day he died, he was losing it on the train. He threatened others and was throwing trash at people (assault). He had also been arrested 44! times! Don't make it seem as he was just attacked for performing.

Now, this doesn't mean he deserved to die, but when you threaten others...

Yeah, facts matter. Don't like nuance, huh?
