Neely's Death Cannot Be Blamed on a Lack of Help From Society
His death does bring up the very serious issue of what to do in regard to those who are mentally ill and vilent. The current approach has been to let them free to repeat their violent actions. This approach is not good for others and possibly not for the vioent mentally ill.
A New York City police spokesperson told Newsweek that Neely's record has 42 prior arrests, dating between 2013 and 2021. They include four for alleged assault, while others involved accusations of transit fraud and criminal trespass. At the time of his death, Neely had one active warrant for an alleged assault in connection with a 2021 incident.
