Lawyers for former Marine Daniel Penny, who was charged in the death of a homeless man behaving erratically on the New York subway, said that the outpouring of donations to help cover Penny’s legal costs show that Americans are fed up with attempts to “undermine” the right to defend oneself and others.

Penny and two other riders of the F-train in New York restrained Jordan Neely on May 1 when the homeless man with a history of mental issues was reportedly behaving aggressively.
