Don't laugh. I recall that when Rudy Giuliani became mayor of New York a few decades ago, he ordered a zero-tolerance policy on petty crimes. Pretty soon, graffiti was reduced, fewer windows were broken, and the ubiquitous squeegee bums (who would "clean" car windshields with filthy water and intimidate the drivers into giving them some change) became a thing of the past. Rudy also started enforcing statutes against drinking in public, particularly by those folks who like to sit on their "stoops" and suck down beer and malt liquor. Minority groups were up in arms about that, since, in the words of one of their "spokespersons," these groups were the ones who participated in that behavior, and therefore, they were being singled out and racially profiled.
lol. I believe it these days
We need anothe Guiliani; OUST BLOOMBERG!!!
