Supporters are raising defense funds for Daniel Penny, the man charged for killing Jordan Neely on the NYC subway.
Penny is facing a manslaughter charge in the death of Neely, a 30-year-old homeless man.
A lawyer for Neely's family, meanwhile, says the charge should be murder instead of manslaughter.

Top conservatives are celebrating Daniel Penny, the 24-year-old whose chokehold killed a homeless man on a New York subway earlier this month, as a "Good Samaritan."
