Ahh, lemme guess, Giuiliani donned his supersuit, had the Bowery bums arrested for squeegee cleaning car windows of tourists at stoplights on the way to Chinatown, and BABOOM! all safe, just like a miracle!
His tenure lasted from '94 - '01, coincidentally coinciding with the end of the crack scourge.
You were correct the first time, the decline in crime rates was experienced also by the rest of the US, and he was Mayor of NYC, not Pres of the USA.
Plus nearing 2 decades of him out, and the crime decline has gone almost ridiculously low, with 3 terms of a liberal Rep Mayor Bloomberg, and 2 with ultra lib Mayor Dem De Blasio.
Skip the links, I was born here in the big bad Bronx when it was the most dangerous place on Earth, and synonomous with urban decay, saw that crown taken away by Beirut, then Detroit & Chicago.
Lived in mafiosoville Pelham Gardens, then spent 21 years at Arthur Ave, changed into a slum and a half since A Bronx Tale days. Back to my old home now. No gun in my pocket nor anyone else I know (the only rifles I ever saw in the flesh were my Uncle's (R.I.P.) in Puerto Rico that he used for hunting), and I still survived what USED to be the roughest, tougest, most dangerous town on earth.
Gun control worked here, can it work for the rest of these twerps?
