I’ve read the links and I’m not moved whatsoever. The bottom line: murders and gun violence plummeted dramatically in NYC during Rudy’s tenure. I guess the ends don’t justify the means in your mind. In my mind, people’s lives were saved and that’s a good thing. Your mind is closed and made up. So be it.
The ends NEVER justify the means...especially if the means require trampling on individual rights. Apparently that doesn't bother you. Executing criminal suspects immediately upon arrest would also result in dramatic reductions in crime. That's how they keep the drunk driving problem under control in Peru. Very effective. No repeat offenders.
