Here's another layer of tragedy on the Jordan Neely situation that just adds important context to his May 1 killing.

Jordan Neely should NEVER have been out on the streets.

According to The New York Times, Jordan Neely was included on a "Top 50" list of at-risk homeless people in New York City. Formerly known for his street performances as Michael Jackson, which he reportedly gave up more than a decade ago, Neely is now known to New Yorkers for his violent and unruly behavior.

This means that the city of New York knew EXACTLY who Jordan Neely was. They knew about his violent behavior. They knew about the arrests. They knew he was in dire need of help. Yet there he was on the street and terrorizing the Subway system.

From Breitbart:

For example, Neely was jailed in February after he assaulted a 67-year-old and broke several bones in her face. Ultimately, Neely was released under a plea deal that required him to avoid trouble for 15 months, take antipsychotic medication, not abuse drugs, and stay in a residential treatment program.

However, two weeks after his enrollment in the program, Neely "walked out of the facility and did not return," resulting in an arrest warrant being issued.

These are just a few of the most recent examples of Neely's erratic and lawless behavior over the last few months.

The point is, police know about all of this yet they can't keep him off the street because of a messed-up legal system and no asylums existing for criminally insane people.

Here are more recent accounts of Neely:

In March, outreach workers at a Manhattan subway station contacted Neely, who was "neatly dressed and calm," and provided him with a ride to a shelter in the Bronx, where he spent the night.

However, outreach workers on April 8 discovered him in a Coney Island subway station "wearing dirty clothes riddled with burn holes," He also "exposed himself and urinated inside a subway car," the Times reported.

There's no reason, other than "restorative justice," for Jordan Neely to have been on the Subway on May 1st. But because the police aren't able to enforce the law and DAs won't prosecute criminals, we have cities overrun with Neelys.

Neely kidnapped children, assaulted the elderly, and preyed on the vulnerable, but he never faced serious jail time. The whole time, he was known to authorities and they did nothing.

Yet the man who witnesses say acted in defense of himself and others is facing 15 years in jail.
