Episode 54: The Death of Jordan Neely, and the Causes of and Responses to Urban Chaos - with Adam Coleman
Listen now
Description
New York City's subways have returned to the urban chaos of the 80's and 90's, leading to an inevitable fatal incident of vigilante-ism. A Marine trying to restrain an unhinged homeless person who had been threatning passengers, with a fatal result.  What conditions led to this? Could it have been prevented? Was it a just result? What can be done to rectify it? Adam Coleman is a writer who has been pondering these questions. He has a unique perspective here, as he was formerly homeless himself.  Adam joins me to explore the Jordan Neely incident, and the causes of and responses to the urban chaos that he was a party to. And the hypocrisy of the commentators and politicians who lament Neely's death, but didn't seem to care about him (or his victims) while he was alive.  Learn more about your ad choices.
