   Despite the violent and erratic behavior exhibited by Jordan Neely on a   
   New York subway Monday night that led to a violent and ultimately fatal   
   altercation, Governor Kathy Hochul said that the man was simply “killed   
   for being a passenger on the subway trains.”   
      
   “Before we get started answering your questions,” Hochul told reporters on   
   Thursday afternoon, “I do want to acknowledge how horrific it was to view   
   a video of Jordan Neely being killed for being a passenger on the subway   
   trains.”   
      
   The governor went on to say, “Our hearts go out to his [Neely’s] families.   
   I’m really pleased that the district attorney is looking into this   
   matter.”   
      
      
   Asked by one journalist what the appropriate response should be when   
   “somebody’s acting erratically, [and] threatening people,” Hochul   
   deflected.   
      
   “I think it’s a case-by-case situation. This was an unarmed individual who   
   had been on the subway many times, known by many of the regular travelers.   
   And you know, sometimes people have an episode where they’re displaying   
   their feelings in a loud and emotional way, but it became very clear that   
   he was not going to, you know, cause harm to these other people. And the   
   video of three individuals holding him down until the last breath was   
   snuffed out of him. I would say it was a very extreme response.”   
      
   On Monday afternoon, Neely — a homeless black man with a history of mental   
   health issues — boarded a northbound F train and began screaming at   
   passengers in an aggressive manner demanding food and water.   
      
   According to an eyewitness on the subway train, Neely had made threats to   
   passengers, stating his willingness to “hurt anyone” and saying that he   
   was unbothered by the prospect of returning to jail or being killed. Law   
   enforcement sources have told media outlets that Neely had a lengthy   
   criminal record, including at least 40 arrests for charges ranging from   
   assault to disorderly conduct and fare evasion.   
      
   Protesters descended on the subway platform at Broadway-Lafayette station   
   on Wednesday to protest Neely’s death with many blaming it on racism and   
   the city’s handling of homeless people. “There was no empathy on that   
   train car,” Karim Walker, a homeless advocate working with the Urban   
   Justice Center, told the New York Times.   
      
   “He did not need to nor did he deserve to die in the manner that he did,”   
   Walker asserted. “That’s what really scares me and that’s what really   
   breaks my heart.”   
      
      
   Neely’s manner of death has been a ruled a homicide, the New York Medical   
   Examiner’s Office told National Review. But District Attorney Alvin Bragg   
   has not yet made a charging decision.   
      
   That didn’t stop Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez from declaring   
   “Jordan Neely was murdered.”   
      
   “But [because] Jordan was houseless and crying for food in a time when the   
   city is raising rents and stripping services to militarize itself while   
   many in power demonize the poor, the murderer gets protected [with]   
   passive headlines [and] no charges. It’s disgusting,” she wrote on social   
   media.   
      
   New York City Mayor Eric Adams, however, struck a different cord in   
   responding to the controversy, suggesting it was “irresponsible” to   
   determine fault before all the facts are known.   
      
   “Any loss of life is tragic. There’s a lot we don’t know about what   
   happened here, so I’m going to refrain from commenting further,” Adams   
   said.   
      
   “However, we do know there were serious mental health issues in play here   
   which is why our administration has made record investment in providing   
   care to those who ended it and getting people off the streets and subways,   
   and out of dangerous situations.”   
      
   Ocasio-Cortez responded by calling Adams’s comments a “new low” in a   
   Twitter post.   
      
   “This honestly feels like a new low: not being able to clearly condemn a   
   public murder because the victim was of a social status some would deem   
   ‘too low’ to care about,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote. “The last sentence is   
   especially rich from an admin trying to cut the very services that could   
   have helped him.”
