Yes: “Justice served. Now pay him for lost wages, attorney fees and pain and suffering. He's going to have to hide for awhile. ”

Yes: “The race card was never in play here. It was all about a Good Samaritan stepping up and doing the right thing. ”

Yes: “Penny was protecting normal decent people from assault or harm from a wacked out person. He didn't plan on killing the guy. He didn't mean for that to happen but maybe all the wack jobs will think twice before they act that way toward other people. Penny is a hero!”

Yes: “From all I've read, seen on video tapes, and the testimonies of those in the train car. It's obvious he and the others who restrained him are innocent and did what was required to subdue this mentally deranged man from hurting, harming, or killing others.”
