They danced all around the most obvious answer. Liberal lunatics are in charge.

It is quite simple! DeBlasio refuses to let the police enforce the law. DeBlasio's New York prosecutors refuse to prosecute much crime that are certain convictions. This is done based on politics and desired for re-election. DeBlasios court system under his desire releases violent criminals without bail.

He has undone all that Rudy had accomplished. Rudy is a bit old now and most regrettably is I suspect not willing to politic on the national stage. Rudy does love New York with all his heart. If he should so desire I would much wish he run for Mayor of New York again and clean up the democrat mess there again.

It should be noted that when Rudy became Mayor it was one of the most violent cities in the USA. When he left as mayor it was the safest major city in the USA.

The Democrats are adhering to their Marxist beliefs. When they control a jurisdiction, they simply see crime in a “revolutionary” context and view lawbreakers as agents of social change and not felons. They, when controlling such jurisdictions,they not only do not arrest, but they do not prosecute and even release as many convicted criminals as possible. This actually happening wherever the marxist Democrats have control. Make no mistake. It will be deployed nationwide if they obtain power nationally. Much is at stake in this coming election and sadly it is not clear if a majority of Americans realize just what is happening.

Once upon a time, New Yorkers voted for Democrats.

The End.

Just maybe it has something to do with having much of the population there being lawless, uncivil ferals who look at everything (and I mean everything) as an opportunity. More popcorn!!! Enjoy the show (from afar).
