Mickelson echoed comments from commentator Collin Rugg, who said, “Daniel Penny is a model citizen who should be commended by the city of New York.”

Rugg continued: “He is one of a breed of young men who is becoming increasingly rare. He risks his safety to help others. He didn’t duck or pull out his phone to film when Jordan Neely started threatening murder.” Instead, he made it his mission to protect subway passengers, but was arrested by the city of New York ridiculed The person you hope will be nearby when your loved one’s life is threatened. Anyone who remains silent about this injustice lacks moral clarity and should take a long look in the mirror.

Daniel Penny is a hero.

Mickelson reposted that statement and said: “Agree. Thank you, Daniel, for serving your country and protecting the many passengers whose lives were threatened by this violent and deranged individual.”

Phil Mickelson sums up most people’s views on the Daniel Penny trial

Mickelson also reposted an account called “Geiger_Capital” that said: “If Daniel Penny is sent to prison by a majority female jury, never again ask why men don’t step in to save others on the streets to protect.” Subway…

“It’s just not worth it in today’s society.”

Most objective observers feel the same way; Penny ended up in a dangerous situation and potentially saved the lives of several people in that subway car. For this he is being prosecuted by a state and a prosecutor who have abandoned common sense in favor of progressive politics.

LIV Golf has its good and bad sides, but there is little doubt that Mickelson’s willingness to speak out on the issue reflects the fact that he now has the wherewithal to do so. Even if his opinion should be undisputed.
