  Speaker 1: Now, it's 710WOR Speed on the Street with Natalie Migliore.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Natalie Migliore, a lot of people here at iHeart, including
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: most of us, used that subway station, 53rd and 7th,
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: where that man was shot and killed about 12 noon
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: on Saturday. What were the responses of people out in
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: the street just a few hundred feet away from that station?
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, it's now been a little bit more than
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: 36 hours, I think, since 26-year-old Daryl Rodriguez was shot
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: and killed at the Midtown subway station. Really just blocks
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: away from our office, as you guys were saying. The
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: station is busy this morning, not just with commuters going
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: in and out, but with the media's bright lights and
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: cameramen and, of course, me stalking people down to see
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: what they.
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: Think about this.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: No matter how much we've covered it this weekend, though,
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: it really did take over the headlines. It's still the
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: first time some people heard about this weekend's violence at
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: the 53rd Street BDE station with the shooting happening on
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: the E Uptown platform.
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: So what are New Yorkers thinking?
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: Not much.
• 1:08
  Speaker 6: It's New York. It's going to happen.
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: That's unbelievable. I'm saying a lot of things going on
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: now and then. Let's see what happens. I hope they
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: find whoever did it.
• 1:16
  Speaker 7: That's crazy. Well, there's a lot of people in New York,
• 1:19
  Speaker 7: but they'll find them. You know New York is good.
• 1:21
  Speaker 7: Cops are good.
• 1:21
  Speaker 6: It's very hard for all of us, but we travel
• 1:24
  Speaker 6: on the train every day. Very hard to know something
• 1:27
  Speaker 6: like that can happen to any one of us.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: It's not just about being a woman or something. It's
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: just anyone doesn't feel safe anymore in some ways. How
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: do you call it?
• 1:37
  Speaker 7: Worry?
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: Because a lot of people come and travel at this
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: time to go to work and whatever not, and a
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: lot of people are here. doing wrong things, especially if
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: somebody got shot, you see?
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: That's what I said. Somebody got shot and they died.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Now investigators are calling it a targeted shooting after Rodriguez
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: was shot in the chest during an argument. Cops have
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: released images of this suspect who's wearing a mask, but
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: does a subway shooting in broad daylight in the middle
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: of Manhattan on a Saturday surprise people in this area?
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: I would say yes, because it never happened before.
• 2:12
  Speaker 7: A lot of tourists around here. It's a nice area.
• 2:15
  Speaker 7: Not too much of that kind of stuff goes on.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: You know, listen, more is out there. This has gone
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: on forever. But now because of social media and phones,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: it's just more in your face. So you got to
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: know your situation and your places and do what's best
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: for you at.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: The same time.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Now, transit advocates are calling for a ban on face
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: coverings in New York City's subway system.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: Some New Yorkers are just like, how about more cops?
• 2:43
  Speaker 7: I mean, I'm a native New Yorker, so you kind
• 2:46
  Speaker 7: of get numb to it sometimes. But I've always wanted
• 2:49
  Speaker 7: police officers in each train. I sent like an email
• 2:52
  Speaker 7: to the mayor's office that this is something they should
• 2:54
  Speaker 7: look into because I know he's proactive in his social
• 2:57
  Speaker 7: media stuff. So let's see what happens.
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: No, I don't see much of them on the subway.
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: I'm coming from Jamaica. And up to now, I haven't
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: seen one this morning.
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: No, if there was more of them around, it would
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: be less of this. When they see the authority around,
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: I'm assuming they think twice.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you never see them on the moving trains. They
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: don't go from car to car like they used to.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: They're stationary on a platform, normally in twos, checking their
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: social media updates, sexting and texting one another. I have
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: no idea who they're communicating with.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: I was on an Uptown 6 train this weekend, and
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: we were stopped so that the NYPD could do a
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: security check, but they didn't get on the train and
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: move with us.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: They looked in, right?
• 3:45
  Speaker 7: Correct.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: What does that do?
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: I don't... I actually was wondering if there was somebody
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: of interest who they were looking for that they then
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: poke their head in and say, okay, we're good to go.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: But there's definitely not, you don't see it as much
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: as it's been a while since I've been on the
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: train with a police officer physically riding.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: With me on the train. How often do you take
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: the subway? Pretty often.
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: Really?
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: About, I would say maybe five, six times a week.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, for somebody, I drive into the city, you know,
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: but we have to get around to cover stories.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: So I'm jumping on the subway all the time. How
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: often do you see a police officer? That's a tough question.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: You know, Columbus, Columbus circle. I see them a lot.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: I typically get off around six o'clock in the evenings
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: and I'll see a couple of more police officers are
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: in typical, typical, but if you're on the one on
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: like at the 18th street station, it's like a one-off
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: random station.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: And again, I don't see them.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Forget about it. The reason you see them in Columbus Circle,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: the transit police precinct is there, District 1. By the way,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: shout out to Philly and SEPTA. You were there recently.
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: I was there.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Talking to SEPTA people, you can't wear a mask in
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: SEPTA anymore. That's their subway system or on their buses.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Can't wear it any longer unless you have a medical
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: or religious permission slip. That's what we have to do here.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: Right, and that's the new push.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: That's what this weekend's shooting has gotten advocates, transit advocates,
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: that's what they want to see.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Well, Natalie Migliore, you'll be back tomorrow, same time, same place.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Hopefully a little Nick Mania at 7.50.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: Good news. Big game, big game, start of the season
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Tomorrow night against LeBron James and the Sixers.
