voices or with weapons. harris: the protests are going. last night after a day of it yesterday and shut down a major new york city bridge for more than 20 minutes as the protestors marched to the courthouse. others gathered in the subway station with the 34-year-old jordan neely died on monday. some demanding a criminal prosecution now for the former u.s. marine who put neely in a choke hold after neely reportedly started yelling and threatening passengers. progressive congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez getting into the mix early quoting neely s death was a public execution. before that she called it a murder. the death, however, was ruled a homicide by the coroner s office simply meaning the cause was another person. mayor eric adams called
let s remember what the real story is here. he was elected on the promise to stop the crime and chaos in new york, specifically elected on the promise to stop the crime and chaos on the subway. there is still is. we have to remember there is a political responsibility here to create a situation where a city is safe and orderly and people feel safe and secure going about their daily business. then you won t have incidents like this. harris: i was in the elevator moments ago and something caught my ear from laura ingraham on the air at the time a few minutes ago saying there are two options here. treat the mentally ill, those people in trouble or they go to jail. you cannot live in a population, steve, where everybody is on edge based on something they can never predict. exactly. again, eric adams made very strong promises. that s why he won and why he actually won in the primary and
