As we reported earlier, subway hero Daniel Penny will be sitting in the box with President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect J.D. Vance at Saturday’s Army-Navy football game.

We’ll give MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle partial credit for acknowledging that Jordan Neely’s death is “very, very, very different” from suspect Luigi Mangione allegedly shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in the back in cold blood on a New York City sidewalk — an obviously premeditated move, since the shell casings were marked with the words, “Deny,” “Defend,” and “Depose” on them. Mangione has been arrested; Penny was charged with manslaughter and was acquitted of criminally negligent homicide.

Over in the lush green fields of Bluesky, they’re celebrating the murder of Thompson, with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez taking the cake by calling the denial of insurance claims an “act of violence.” Only one side here is clearly celebrating a murderer, never mind their justifications.

Ruhle seems to think both liberals and conservatives are celebrating violence and is concerned about Vance inviting Penny to attend the Army-Navy game. That’s not celebrating violence, that’s celebrating heroism. Once again, Penny was acquitted.

We don’t know how Stevie Van Zandt ended up as a panelist, but notice that his heart goes out the the Neely family, who never cared about Jordan before until dollar signs started showing up in their eyeballs.

We should be very concerned that people are celebrating premeditated murder. The guy had a handwritten manifesto, for God’s sake, as well as a fake ID. It was all carefully planned.

Yep. They’re “very, very, very different,” but let’s compare them anyway.
