() As the dust settles after multiple people were fatally shot, including a gunman, in New York City on Monday, the fear among those living in the city has reached a critical juncture.

Bill O’Reilly, in an appearance on Monday’s “On Balance,” says residents are uneasy because of the “rise of social disorder.”

“We’ve seen it in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Baltimore, and other towns,” he said.

“But in New York City, the largest and most powerful city in the country, people are very uneasy. And the reason … is because the system has collapsed, the justice system.”

O’Reilly, who lives eight miles outside of the Queens border, added that when he engages city residents in conversations, they “100 percent” are scared to go to work, go on the subway, and for their kids’ safety.

“They are very, very uneasy about what is happening in the city,” he added. “And it’s not hard to figure out why it is happening.”

There seem to be other mass shootings in other American cities happening a lot more often, but for it to happen in Midtown Manhattan, O’Reilly feels the blame starts with those at the top.

He aims at New York Mayor Eric Adams and the state’s governor, Kathy Hochul.

“They’re not trying to solve the problem,” O’Reilly said.

“And the legislature is insanely left-wing. So once you have a culture of violence, which you do have in New York City, you have a culture of violence. Anything can happen at any time.”

One of the people killed in the incident by Nevada’s Shane Tamura — the identified shooter — was an NYPD officer. That officer is part of a department that O’Reilly touts as doing a tremendous job.

“Violent crime is actually falling in New York City, and that is because of the skilled police officers,” he said. “Not because of the courts, which kick out people, as everyone knows, with no bail, who are violent.”
