New Yorkers have forgotten about when Rudy cleaned up most of the crime.

Yeah, he absolutely turned the city around after Dinkins. Such a disgrace the way he has been treated by so many.

New Yorkers also forgot how he did it and why it worked!

They will rue the day that Their Moslem/Communist Mayor took over!

I read that yesterday-that was an interesting article!

Funny-my wife and I were watching an old “ER” episode where one of the female doctors (Sherry Stringfield) has to go to New York and is riding around in the backseat of a black and white, and is horrified by the rough treatment the cops use on bums and informants to get information from them (slamming them on the hood of the cruiser, that kind of thing)

This article made me kind of think of that...it ain’t all pretty and clean and fun!

Re. Rudy and NYC, the old saying applies:

Hard times create strong men.
Strong men create good times.
Good times create weak men.
And weak men create hard times.

The problem is that the cycle doesn’t always repeat. Then the hard times last forever. I fear that will be the fate of NYC.
