We’ve heard the late Jordan Neely called a lot of things, from a “homeless dancer” to a “beloved Michael Jackson impersonator.” Reportedly, he wasn’t doing his Michael Jackson impersonation when he threatened a bunch of people on a New York City subway car. Though he died from a chokehold like George Floyd, we’ve only heard of one funeral being planned for Neely. It will be interesting to see how many New York politicians show up to pay their respects.
Not at all interesting is the fact that the Rev. Al Sharpton will be giving a eulogy:
Timothy H.J. Nerozzi reports for Fox News:
Rev. Al Sharpton is scheduled to give a eulogy at the funeral for Jordan Neely — the 30-year-old who died after being choked during a threatening outburst on the New York City subway.
The service is being held at Mount Neboh Baptist Church in Harlem on Friday.
“As we face sorrow, pain, and uncertainty in the wake of Jordan’s senseless killing, it is crucial that we come together in the spirit of healing, action, and perseverance,” said Rev. Johnnie Melvin Green, Jr., Mount Neboh’s lead pastor.
He continued, “I can think of no one better, no one more equipped to meet this moment with that grace and guidance than Rev. Sharpton.”
Think harder.
Who will make more mention of Neely’s 44 arrests: Sharpton or the mainstream media? We’re sure they’re blowing up the photo of him when he was 19 to place nearby the casket.
We should probably try to sound more sad about it, but Sharpton is just the clown arriving at the circus.
We don’t know if this funeral will have the national reach that Floyd’s did. Sharpton’s going to expect network news coverage, particularly a live stream of the event.
