Timcast IRL #782 Left DEMANDS Jail For Jordan Neely Victims For NOT Intervening w/Colby Covington
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL Episode 782, aired on May 19, 2023, featured Tim Pool and co-hosts discussing the controversial Jordan Neely subway incident and the subsequent demands for criminal charges against Daniel Penny and bystanders who did not intervene. The conversation evolved into a broader debate about personal responsibility, self-defense, and the consequences of voting for liberal policies that release violent criminals. Tim shared personal anecdotes about confrontations with Antifa in Boston, describing his approach of remaining calm and filming rather than engaging physically. The hosts analyzed the "bike Karen" incident in New York, where a woman was caught on video removing a bike from a bike-share station, with discussion about time stamps and her employment situation. Tim expressed skepticism about crowdfunding campaigns from individuals who may have voted for policies that led to their victimization, arguing that if someone votes to release violent criminals and then becomes a victim, they received exactly what they voted for. The conversation included commentary on Ben Crump, the first high-profile cancel culture incident involving a woman who made an AIDS joke on Twitter, and the use of terminology like "fetus" versus "baby." Tim distinguished between genuine self-defense situations and manufactured confrontations designed to provoke reactions, noting that activists deliberately use "mid-level violence" to bait responses.

I'm not gonna go to a guy who voted for lower taxes and be like, oh you poor man, you got lower taxes. I'm like, well you voted for it, I don't know what else to say, man.”
