Off the streets of New York.
Kelly said: “People are just threatening people doing their jobs. Sometimes it leads to assault, sometimes it doesn't. But this is still a huge problem. We… We need to get these people out of the city, but there is currently no real effort to do so.”
After turning the topic to the Daniel Penny case, Kelly said: Penny was a hero by anyone's definition. If any of us were in a situation where an obviously insane man said, “I'm going to kill someone,'' we would want that kind of intervention. ”
Mr. Kelly went on to say that he has had a “reasonable district attorney,” but “Mr. Rogers.” Boasting is not rational. he believes in the most radical approach[es]”
