24-year-old former Marine, Daniel Penny, intervened on the subway against a violent passenger. The trial against Penny calls into question the role of civil courage in US society.
Police can not be everywhere to protect us and it is up to citizens to take action if lives are threatened. Police show up normally after the fact and investigate what happened. In NY it appears the police won't act even when witnessing a crime. Penny in earlier days would have been given a citizenship medal for his actions. He spent time in the military defending the country and now he's on trial for defending others? Shame on Bragg and New Yorkers.

Thank you Malin! Politizised administration of justice is what awaits us in Sweden too. Sad and worrying.
