Thank you so much, chairperson, salaman, and council members.
2:49:07
And I want to I understand the topic is wrongful conviction, and and I understand what why that is so critical.
2:49:18
But I I truly feel just as a New Yorker that we're so The pendulum has swung almost the wrong way or the other way.
2:49:26
They were so concerned about wrongful conviction that we're not convicting at all when it come especially when it comes to these protests.
2:49:33
And and I I pulled together at least 35, 40 people this afternoon.
2:49:40
And as you've seen, as we call the names most of them have left because they couldn't wait all day.
2:49:45
And that shows you that we are saying New Yorkers are saying enough is enough.
2:49:52
Enough is enough of not being protected.
2:49:54
Enough is enough of these criminals, these terrorists, these protests, not being convicted.
2:50:02
No consequences for crime because we're so concerned about wrongfully convicting.
2:50:07
We're not convicting at all.
2:50:09
Especially when it comes to these protests.
2:50:11
And as a result, public safety, there I don't feel there is such a thing as public safety when it comes to these protests.
2:50:18
One night, I couldn't get to Grand Central.
2:50:20
I couldn't get home because of these protesters, and it was scary.
2:50:24
And I thought I am not in America anymore.
2:50:27
And so I'm asking you the public safety committee and you specifically chairperson salam, that we do hold a specific hearing about these protests and about the day how and lives are being endangered, how the Jewish community, and other minorities are being endangered.
2:50:44
And Public safety is not existence.
2:50:47
We are scared to go on the streets because of these protests.
2:50:50
And I understand there's been much wrongful convictions made, but we can't go to such an extreme that no convictions are made when there needs to be consequences for lawlessness.
2:51:04
And these protests are nothing but 100% lawlessness.
2:51:08
And there needs to be consequences.
2:51:10
Otherwise, we are in the city is going to completely collapse, and all of its residents are under incredible threat of danger and yet your role is public safety.
2:51:23
So please please think about the public safety of New Yorkers and specifically to Jewish community, and please schedule a hearing specifically on this topic of the protests and anti Semitism and we'll be here, as we were here today, we'll be here in greater numbers, and we really need this I am and exploring that.
