Abel Cedeno & Daniel Penny: Systematic Racism

The cases of Abel Cedeno and Daniel Penny have both sparked significant debate and controversy, particularly around issues of self-defense and systemic racism. Let's delve into the details of each case and explore the broader implications.

Abel Cedeno Case

In 2017, Abel Cedeno, a high school student in the Bronx, fatally stabbed his classmate Matthew McCree and injured another student, Ariane Laboy. Cedeno, who is openly gay, claimed that he had been bullied for years due to his sexuality and acted in self-defense. He stated that on the day of the incident, McCree and Laboy were throwing objects at him and verbally harassing him.

Despite Cedeno's claims of self-defense, the court found him guilty of manslaughter, assault, and criminal possession of a weapon. He was sentenced to 14 years in prison. The case highlighted the challenges faced by LGBTQ+ youth in schools and the severe consequences of bullying. However, it also raised questions about the appropriate use of self-defense and the legal standards applied in such cases.

Daniel Penny Case

In contrast, the case of Daniel Penny involved a former Marine who placed Jordan Neely, a homeless man, in a chokehold on a New York City subway in May 2023. Neely, who had a history of mental illness, was reportedly acting erratically and making threatening statements to passengers. Penny intervened and restrained Neely, leading to Neely's death.

Penny was charged with second-degree manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide. However, after a lengthy trial and jury deliberations with ample evidence indicating his guilt, he was acquitted of all charges. The case drew national attention and sparked debates about self-defense, mental health, and racial dynamics, as Neely was Black and Penny was white.

Systemic Racism and Self-Defense

Both cases underscore the complexities of self-defense claims and the influence of systemic racism in the legal system. Research has shown that implicit racial biases can affect how jurors perceive defendants and victims, potentially leading to unjust outcomes. In self-defense cases, the race of the individuals involved can influence the perceived threat level and the justification for using force.

For instance, in the Daniel Penny case, some argued that Penny's actions were seen as more justified because Neely was a Black man with a history of mental illness and criminal activity and Penny was a Marine with no criminal record. Conversely, in the Abel Cedeno case, Cedeno's claims of self-defense were not enough to mitigate his sentence, despite his history of being bullied for his sexuality.

Why were there two distinct verdicts in these cases? This is a question we all need to examine carefully. The answer is that there are two judicial systems, one for non-Hispanic whites and one for People of Color.  Both cases involved claims of self-defense. One had a legitimate victim of bullying who was assaulted and took matters into his own hands after school officials neglected to address the situation. The other was about one who took it upon himself to play hero and choked to death a Black homeless male with mental illness simply for crying out that he was hungry.  The latter was acquitted and the former was sentenced to 14 years for manslaughter and 8 for assault. 

Many non-Hispanic whites of right-wing persuasion were quick to defend Daniel Penny and even raised over a million dollars for his defense. They defended him, rehashed Jordan Neely's criminal record, and in some instances celebrated his death as self-deserved.  However, where were they for Abel Cedeno? Where are the gofundme accounts raising millions for him, a young gay youth who was simply defending himself after years of abuse, harassment, bullying, and assault after school officials did nothing?  Could it be that maybe Cedeno was the wrong skin color?  It sure seems so.  

Conclusion

The cases of Abel Cedeno and Daniel Penny highlight the need for a more nuanced understanding of self-defense and the impact of systemic racism in the legal system. Addressing these issues requires ongoing efforts to educate jurors about implicit biases and to ensure that legal standards are applied fairly and consistently. As society continues to grapple with these complex issues, it is crucial to advocate for justice and equity for all individuals, regardless of their race, sexuality, or background.

The jury system needs to be reevaluated in light of these cases. It is clear there is a systematic racial problem in the judicial system.  When one person who legitimately defended himself is sentenced to 14 years plus 8 for assault while another was the aggressor and choked to death a mentally ill Black man is acquitted, then clearly race is a fact in verdicts, not the facts and evidence.

Abel Cedeno Sentenced to 14 Years

The sentencing day is here for Abel Cedeno, 20. Cedeno was found guilty during the summer for the murder of Matthew McCree and the assault of Ariane Laboy. He claimed to be the victim of bullying by the aforementioned due to his sexual orientation. Today, Judge Michael Gross handed down a 14-year sentence to Abel Cedeno and declined youthful offender status due to the seriousness of the charges. Many people have petitioned the judge to consider a lesser status, including long-time politician Ruben Diaz Sr. who has been accused of homophobia in the past.

Originally, Cedeno had been facing 50 years in prison due to the incident. Had he gotten youthful offense status, the sentence could have been about 2 years or less. The mother of Matthew McCree accepted the sentence but wished it would have been 50 years. His aunt showed more emotion and said she has fond memories of McCree, but the one that will stick with her now is seeing his lifeless boy with a huge hole in his chest.

Cedeno apologized at court to the families stating he felt "horrible" and that this is something he has to think about "every day." He said, "I'll have to live with that for the rest of my life, I regret it so much, and I wish that I could take it all back." McCree's mother stated in a press conference afterward that his words were not sincere and were coached by his lawyers.

There is no word as to whether or not this will be appealed. Many on social media feel Abel should have been cleared of all charges.

A fight broke out at the lobby of the courthouse. There is no more information as to why it broke out and with whom.

This story is a tragedy for both sides.  No sane person can take sides on this one.  On one side, a gay youth was bullied and the school did nothing. While on the other side, a family lost a child and another survived an attack and have to live with the injuries, memories, and loss of his best friend.

Puerto Rican Gay Victim of Bullying is Found Guilty: Faces 50 Years

Abel Cedeno, now 19 was convicted on all counts in court on Monday in The Bronx. Cedeno was the high school student who claimed to be bullied for being part of the LGBTQ community.  The story made headlines (http://www.sacerdotus.com/2017/09/bronx-gaybi-student-stabs-kills-alleged.html).

During class, Two African American students were throwing pencils and other items at Cedeno. Cedeno got up to leave through the door of the classroom. As he approached it, someone threw a crumbled piece of paper at him. He got upset and asked, "Who the F*#$ threw that?"  One of the students, Matthew McCree who was killed by Cedeno had responded. McCree then approached Cedeno and both began to fight. Cell phone video captures moments after this shows the altercation. Cedeno is seen running towards McCree who begins to pummel Cedeno. Cedeno swings back, stabbing the alleged bully.  The video then ends.



During the trial, evidence was presented. Cedeno took the stand on behalf of himself and told his story. He claimed he was bullied for being gay and did not remember stabbing McCree. The trial was done by the bench. This means a judge had the power to decide, not a jury. Other classmates also testified and acknowledged that Cedeno was being picked on and pelted with pencil and other items. However, the judge decided that Cedeno was guilty.  He now faces up to 50 years in prison due to all the charges.

The story has brought attention to the problem in public schools in New York City. Bullying has gone rampant and administrators do nothing to prevent it or stop it. In fact, many teachers are unable to discipline students due to policies instilled by progressives. Restorative justice is named as the main culprit by many teachers.  This form of discipline (or lack, thereof) does not allow punishment. Instead, students are encouraged to make peace with one another. There are no consequences for offenses committed by students. Several teachers from the high school where both Cedeno and McCree attended, which is now closed, said to reports that after this form of discipline was put as policy, students began to disrespect teachers, deans, and even the principal.

The conviction has come as a surprise and upset to many who claim Cedeno was a victim of bullying and deserved to be exonerated. However, others celebrated the conviction by claiming that justice was served and called Cedeno a liar and opportunist. Some have wished for his death and used homophobic language in the process. There is no word as to whether the case will be appealed or not. Cedeno is scheduled to be sentenced in September of this year.




The judge's decision is being seen as a slap to the face of victims of bullying and victims in general. If self-defense is not possible, how can one survive?  Unlike Florida, New York does not have "stand your ground" laws. Self-defense is permitted, but it is encouraged that the victim retreat instead. This is easier said than done. New York Consolidated Laws, Penal Law - PEN § 35.15 Justification;  use of physical force in defense of a person states:

1. A person may, subject to the provisions of subdivision two, use physical force upon another person when and to the extent he or she reasonably believes such to be necessary to defend himself, herself or a third person from what he or she reasonably believes to be the use or imminent use of unlawful physical force by such other person, unless:
(a) The latter's conduct was provoked by the actor with intent to cause physical injury to another person;  or
(b) The actor was the initial aggressor;  except that in such case the use of physical force is nevertheless justifiable if the actor has withdrawn from the encounter and effectively communicated such withdrawal to such other person but the latter persists in continuing the incident by the use or threatened imminent use of unlawful physical force;  or
(c) The physical force involved is the product of a combat by agreement not specifically authorized by law.
2. A person may not use deadly physical force upon another person under circumstances specified in subdivision one unless:
(a) The actor reasonably believes that such other person is using or about to use deadly physical force.  Even in such case, however, the actor may not use deadly physical force if he or she knows that with complete personal safety, to oneself and others he or she may avoid the necessity of so doing by retreating;  except that the actor is under no duty to retreat if he or she is:
(i) in his or her dwelling and not the initial aggressor;  or
(ii) a police officer or peace officer or a person assisting a police officer or a peace officer at the latter's direction, acting pursuant to section 35.30 ;  or
(b) He or she reasonably believes that such other person is committing or attempting to commit a kidnapping, forcible rape, forcible criminal sexual act or robbery;  or
(c) He or she reasonably believes that such other person is committing or attempting to commit a burglary, and the circumstances are such that the use of deadly physical force is authorized by subdivision three of section 35.20 .

What are your thoughts?  Was Abel justified or not?  Did Matthew deserve to be killed?  Abel's lawyer stated that he "messed with the wrong sissy."

Bronx Gay/Bi Student Stabs & Kills Alleged Bully at PS 67

This post is so tragic that I am having trouble organizing it.  It hits so close to home.

Yesterday, 18 year old Abel Cedeno stabbed and killed a 15 year old classmate named Matthew McCree and injured a 16 year old named Ariane Laboy as well at a Bronx school, PS 67.  A neighbor of mine in my old Bronx neighborhood used to work at this school. He is now retired in Florida.

The events that led to the stabbing are unclear. One story says that Cedeno slapped a girl and that the boy he stabbed defended her two weeks ago. The tension was still alive among them and boiled up to the stabbing. Another version says that the boys bullied and harassed Abel Cedeno because of his effeminate demeanor and Hispanic heritage. I am still trying to sort the facts out.  In any event, the media is painting the tragedy as a gay victim of bullying who snapped. Cedeno is said to have been bullied by others since the start of the school year.

According to police, the two boys threw pencils at Cedeno during third period history class. They argued and Cedeno went to the bathroom.  He returned and the pencils flew again at his direction. Cedeno was upset and said something to McCree.  McCree stood up and walked to Cedeno and punched him. This then led to things getting physical with Cedeno pulling out a 3 inch switchblade and stabbing McCree in the chest, as well as, Laboy as he tried to intervene and defend his friend.  Cedeno then calmly walked out into the hallway and handed the blade to a counselor and walked to the principal's office where he waited for police. Cedeno was arrested and told the police what happened. He was later arraigned and charged with murder, attempted murder, manslaughter, attempted manslaughter, assault and criminal possession of a weapon.  Cedeno's mother is stuck in Puerto Rico due to Hurricane Maria and is not aware of her son's situation in the mainland. His brother has stood in as guardian.

Outside, parents were ready to riot pushing each other and upset with officials. They were not kept up to date on what was happening and were not given access to their children.  PS 67 houses an elementary, middle school and high school. The setup for this school is a bit odd since usually bigger kids are kept away from smaller ones. Uneek Valentin, a parent of a student at the school stated to reporters that weeks before, a student brought a weapon to school. Calls to install metal detectors then were ignored, according to Valentin. Other parents are upset that it took this tragedy for the school to finally install metal detectors.

Abel Cedeno is said to have identified as bisexual, according to his close friends. Savannah Hornback, a family friend who is transsexual stated that Cendeo also struggled with mental illness.  Hornback declined to be more specific.  According to Hornback, Cedeno was a homebody. He loved video games and often remained at home. Hornback also claims that Cedeno's mother complained to school officials about the bullying that her son face. Her pleas went to deaf ears.  The school took no action, according to Hornback.

Matthew McCree, 15 deceased

Teachers present during the altercation are said to have done nothing. They just stood there and did absolutely nothing, according to 16 year old Frankie Santiago.  School officials declined to comment on this.  He claims that Cedeno was not bullied by his friend McCree and that Cedeno was looking to fight. At court, Cedeno signed an order of protection promising to avoid Laboy who is still at St. Barnabas Hospital. His lawyer also ordered that he go under a psychological evaluation.  He was sent to jail without bail.

PS 67 has a history of being an under performing school, according to Board of Education records. Parents have long complained about the mixing of younger students with older ones.  They have also complained about the lack of security via metal detectors. Apparently, the school has also ignored complaints of bullying. One parent, Kayesha McIntosh, 32, told officials at the school that students were pulling the hair of her daughter. McIntosh claims that the school told her to change her daughter's hairstyle to that of a bun. Another parent and former PTA president, Jovanna Russell said that she took her daughter out of the elementary school after a high school student flashed his genitals to her at a stairwell.  The school did nothing about the incident.  Many wonder why Cedeno is 18 and still in high school with 15 and 16 year old classmates.  Apparently, Cedeno did not have enough credits to graduate in June.  He was held over.

The whole scenario is just tragic. I know the school well and walked by there so many times as a kid and now as a young adult. Nearby, is the parish of St. Thomas which welcomed me as an atheist into the Catholic Church.  There is also Tremont Avenue, where I often shopped at for food, school supplies and toys as a kid. I did not attend PS 67, but remember it was used as a triage for victims of the "Happy Land" club fire. The bodies of those injured and deceased were brought to the school. The building has seen its share of tragedies.  I cannot say that anyone in this recent tragedy was "right."  Abel Cedeno was apparently bullied and is said to have snapped. Whether this is true or not is yet to be determined. We still need to see the evidence that support the alleged facts.  In any case, we must analyze many things here.  Schools are not doing enough against bullying and the safety of students.  My own nephew has faced some incidents as well while in elementary school and now in middle school. While not as a grave as the case at PS 67, it is, nevertheless, troubling. School officials never take reports seriously.  They excuse it as "kids being kids," "that is how society is," or just plainly ignore it.  This is extremely troubling.  The teacher's union has a big role in this nonchalance. Teachers are not allowed to get involved during a fight.  In my day, teachers quickly got in the middle to separate students.  Today, they just stand and watch while waiting for security to come.

If that is not bad enough, incidents of bullying witnessed by staff must be reported; however, many times they are not.  Children are treated as cattle being rounded up.  They are not "people," so to speak.  This is sad indeed.  While the public school is not perfect, in my day, it was much better. Those days are days gone bye. While there were fist fights here and there, it never escalated to anything involving weapons or death.  Today, it is much different.  I believe this has to do with the break down of the family.  Kids grow up in single parent homes, some in absent parent home.  What I mean by this is that the parent(s) is never around.  Moreover, there is no moral instruction of children.  Families are abandoning values and letting the media raise their kids. These ideas of stabbing, fighting, premarital sex, hedonism all come from the music and media kids are exposed to.  We as Catholics must take back society. We must restore the values that America was known for.  If we do not, we will continue to see these incidents at schools and elsewhere.  When God is pushed out, the devil takes over.

Abel Cedeno is said to bisexual and suffering from mental illness.  His instagram handle is "Abel_diviel."  Is the "diviel" mean to be "devil?"  I cannot say for sure, but we must leave the idea open.  The LGBTQ have the highest rates of mental illness when compared with other social groups.  The ideas of gender theory cause a lot of harm to our youth. They grow up confused and are mocked because of it.  Imagine growing up in a world where you are trying to figure yourself out while the world tells you that you can be any gender you want. This causes anxiety and frustration. Children, especially teens, have trouble as is trying to "fit in" a circle, if you will.  Cedeno is one of these kids who is obviously is a victim of the errors of the world. His victims are not far behind.  Unfortunately, African Americans in the inner city are often raised to take on a "thug" demeanor in order to fit in.  They need to have "street credit."  This is just abuse.  African Americans who choose an alternate take are labeled as traitors or "white imitators."  McCree and Laboy were known as the "bad boys" of the school. We must ask why?  Why were this way and why was it not weeded out of them?  There are so many questions and few answers.  No one here won. Cedeno did not win by killing one and injuring another.  McCree and Laboy did not win by allegedly bullying and causing havoc in the school.  We need to do more.  Catholic Churches must have strong youth groups that help shape the consciences of young people in the inner city.  Hopefully, the archdiocese of NY will work on this.

Let us pray for all involved.  The situation is just tragic.  Babies killing babies.  We cannot have this in our world.  Cedeno, McCree, Laboy and others deserve to live good childhoods, get a good education and move on to live productive lives. We cannot have schools where tribalism is the rule of law.  I will continue to update this post as I learn more details.


UPDATE: October 2, 2017:

The surviving victim of Cedeno's rage, Ariane Laboy woke from a two-day coma at St. Barnabas Hospital in the Bronx. He said that he was not really hungry, but asked for an eggroll after his family bought some Chinese takeout.  He asked his dad if he could give the rest to his friend Matthew, apparently, believing Matthew was in another hospital room. Laboy's father then informed him that Matthew was deceased.  Laboy was in shock and became speechless after asking that everyone leave him alone. Laboy's family plans to sue over the incident.  Moreover, cops now say that the two teens did not bully Cedeno over his sexuality.  Cedeno apparently stated that he got the wrong teens and that he did not even know who they were.  This may possibly harm any attempt to present his defense as self-preservation or insanity.  Another knife was found the day after the incident at the same school in the same classroom.  A janitor found the knife under a radiator.  Cops say the knife is unrelated to the attack perpetuated by Abel Cedeno.

UPDATE: November 29, 2017:

Abel Cedeno was just released on a $250,000 bond. The bond was raised by members of the LGBT community as well as Senator Ruben Diaz Jr who was an outspoken opponent of same-sex marriage in New York.  Cedeno issued a statement which read:

"I am grateful to the people who donated to my bond fund, which allowed my release, specifically, I thank the many gay men who generously donated. I promise you that your faith in me will never be betrayed. You are, in the words of Shakespeare, 'less than kin but more than kind.' You make me proud to be gay. This nightmare which occurred on 09-27-17 has torn apart three families. Finally, thank you to my two gay attorneys for your hard work, trust and faith."

He had pleaded not guilty to the charges placed against him: manslaughter and assault.  The mother of the victim Matthew McCree who died Louna Dennis was not so happy. She said during a press conference:

"I'm pissed the hell off. I'm pissed. He gets to go home with his family for Christmas. My son is in a fricking cemetery. Fricking in the dirt. And he gets to go home to his family? I'm pissed the hell off, and at this point, I feel like the system is failing me. They have no remorse, none at all"

She was referring to Cedeno and his family here. Cedeno is being represented by two gay attorneys.
