Curtis Sliwa: ‘The Daniel Penny Effect’ Has Paralyzed New Yorkers from Helping

EXCERPT:

SLIWA: "Oh, absolutely. It’s paralyzed people. If you notice in the image of that poor homeless woman who was set up like a torch on that Coney Island train on a Sunday morning by an illegal alien monster that we allowed to come into our country — and by the way, we were putting him up in our shelter, feeding him, clothing him — "

KILMEADE: "Threw him out and came back."

SLIWA: "Exactly. And that's how he pays us off. And you know that nobody got involved. There were men and women on that platform, they didn’t even identify the monster who had set her ablaze, all they did was film it. The cops walked right past it. You could see she was a human torch. It’s really bad now. Daniel Penny — I call it the Daniel Penny paralysis of mostly men who normally might have gotten involved. We were taught in elementary school, if one of your friends was to ever catch on fire when throwing a firecracker, knock them down, roll them, put something on them, put out the flames. The guy who set her afire took his jacket off and fanned the flames, and nobody stopped him. It shows you the Daniel Penny effect and it's totally emasculating this city."
