    EXCERPT:

    OCASIO-CORTEZ: "Well, you know, doesn’t that — I just feel like that — that tells us everything. If we do not want violence on our subways, and the point of our justice system is a level of accountability to prevent a person who does not have remorse about taking another person life, I mean, even people who have engaged in manslaughter or have taken a life accidentally express remorse. And so the fact that a person has expressed no remorse indicates that there’s a risk that it may happen again. And if we do not want to unleash that level of violence, then we should exert a level of accountability to prevent that from happening again."
