NYC was out of control. Unsafe. Ruled by thugs. And most people thought it was irretrievable.
Giuliani supported a perfectly legal modern policing approach that brought the streets under control and turned NYC around.
You're in a fantasy world if you think some DUI car forfeiture law is gong to convince everyone that Giuliani is Adolph Hitler's stepson. Maybe we should turn Free republic into an ACLU website next.
Any elected official who pursues a "law and order" approach to dealing with crime that borders on -- and in many cases, CROSSES -- the thin line between legal and illegal . . . while at the same time he proudly and willfully violates Federal immigration law by maintaining a "sanctuary city" policy that protects illegal immigrats . . . has no credibility at all.
Keep in mind that the Giuliani administration adopted that vehicle forfeiture policy specifically to deal with all kinds of motor vehicle violations that were being committed by those same illegal aliens he welcomed into the city with open arms. The notion that people who never gave a damn about respecting this nation's borders probably don't give a sh!t about the difference between a blood-alcohol level of 0.05% and 0.25% apparently came as a real surprise to Giuliani.
