Daniel Penny subdued a crazed and threatening homeless man named Jordan Neely, resulting in an accusation of manslaughter. Penny has garnered nearly $2 million for his defense fund via the GiveSendGo platform. Neely died after being tackled by Penny, a former Marine,* who placed Neely in a chokehold. (Two other men helped Penny subdue Neely; neither has been charged with anything.) After Neely stopped struggling, Penny released Neely and placed him in a "recovery position" while subway passengers complimented his actions. In a sane world, Penny would be praised by everyone for his actions, but the left has been painting this as a racial attack against a helpless, harmless individual (who had in fact been arrested some 40 times for reasons including assault and battery). GOP presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy donated $10,000 to Penny's defense fund. Not to be outdone, Tim Pool has donated $20,000 to Penny's defense, adding that he was wrong to have sat on this issue instead of leading the charge. Pool explains his change of heart here:

*I think Marines will say there is no such thing as a "former" Marine.
This is an encouraging sign that some Americans are still thinking for themselves and seeing through the bullshit of people like AOC and her media cronies.
