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.
That’s a poor analogy, but typical of someone who uses hyperbole often. The bottom line: The murder rate dropped dramatically under Rudy’s watch. If that is somehow a problem for you then it’s obvious that crime isn’t a priority with you. I don’t agree with all of his gun control proposals, but some are just common sense and clearly reduced crime in NYC.
