But far more people were murdered by abortion during Adolph Bloomberg's regime.
Abortion is a cognitive dissonance for the decidedly lacking-in-critical-thinking secular progressives, in that they cannot, somehow, consider it as a human life. Yet they will race to the governor of a state to stop the execution of an individual found to be guilty of a capital crime deserving of the death penalty, on the off chance that there may have been an “error” in the court proceedings, thus letting the convicted felon off on a technicality.
The rate of recidivism among pardoned felons is just too high to take that chance. Once back on the street, there is a vastly higher risk of some other unfortunate crossing their path just as the repressed rage boils up.
Most of the lowered rate of murder in NYC was due to the “Stop and frisk” program, and NOT to just “good luck”.
But, again, the “cognitive dissonance”.
