Mayoral front-runner Bill de Blasio offered no real solution Thursday when confronted with statistics revealing an alarming rise in gun violence that followed a federal judges ruling against the NYPDs stop-and-frisk program.
The Democratic nominee opposes the practice, but when asked point blank how he intends to keep the city safe, he would speak only in generalities.
We must restore the relationship between the police and community, he said without explaining how that could be accomplished....
De Blasios November opponent, Republican Joe Lhota, took a much stronger stance.
He said Scheindlins ruling along with two anti-stop-and-frisk laws enacted over Mayor Bloombergs veto was handcuffing the police.
I stood right here [at City Hall], and I said that these actions will actually you will see crime increase, said Lhota, a former MTA chair and a deputy mayor under Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
Weve seen shootings go up. Weve seen killings go up. And its directly related to the fact that all of these bills, all of these actions, have had a chilling effect upon the Police Department.....

At least nobody in the mayoral race will get a free unexamined ride into office, like Obama did.
DeBlasio - always a Duh moment
The ONLY thing”Closer”than”Stop and Frisk”is a cop asking you out on a date!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Liberals live in a world ‘bubble’ of what ought to be. When the real world intrudes and bursts the bubble by demonstrating what the truth IS, they are shocked and speechless. Then, they go back to what they know; their ‘blame guns’ mantra. It never changes. Stupid is as stupid does.
what are the type of people who live in NYC?
is there census data?
Since the American electorate in its infinite wisdom elected and re-elected a gay Chicago community organizer, a disbarred lawyer from Kenya or somewhere (maybe even Vancouver, eh) as our POTUS, those who are on his team solely because of melanistic percentages, have gone kind of hog wild and gun crazy all over the country.
The natives are restless. Why? All they got from the guy who claimes he could have been Trayvon's Dad was hope and change, eh? But the change is for worse in their government subsidized so-called lives, and their hopes have been dashed.
Must be Whitey's Fault. So, no Stop and Frisk.
De Blasio at a loss.
Period.
Mr. Wilhelm is always at a loss.
libs
some are stupid
some are evil
most are both
I have zero use for the republican or whoever the above is. Stop and frisk is blatantly unconstitutional. Preventing citizens from owning and
carrying guns is both unconstitutional and immoral. If the GOP supports fascist police state policy, then forget them.
