Recognizing and honoring Daniel Penny of West Islip, New York, for his heroism and courage in apprehending a threat to public safety.
HRES 448 is a non-binding House resolution honoring Daniel Penny of West Islip, New York, for intervening during a subway incident on May 1, 2023. It recognizes Penny for apprehending Jordan Neely, who was threatening passengers on an F Train in Manhattan, including allegedly throwing trash and making violent threats. The resolution states Penny acted "with disregard for his personal well-being" to protect fellow commuters. It specifically rejects claims labeling Penny a "White supremacist" or "vigilante," calling such descriptions "without basis in fact." As a commemorative resolution, it has no legal effect and solely serves to publicly commend Penny's actions.
