Hmm whatever
Just for the record here, as a matter of fact. He cleaned it up
Broke up the mob as only an Italian American could have, and via the NYC and state justice departments revitalized Times Square - the theater district which was a major dump
Just for the record
Before Rudy, during the Dinkins tenure as shiftless janitor-in-chief, uber-liberal Brooklyn DA Liz Holtzman was mugged at W43rd and 9th Ave around noon while on the public telephone accompanied by her two detective bodyguards. Liz had told the two to stand back for privacy for the call. The fleet footed perps hit and split before the two detectives could react. The cops wouldn’t have run very well as the sidewalk was broken up and empty crack vials littered the area around the public phone.
She had just left the NYT offices where she had a talk with NYT editors.
How do I know this? I was returning to the design studio from a client meeting. I was blocked by the crime scene tape from entering my building. I got an eye roll after asking local precinct cop why they blocked my entrance as it was 30-40 from the phone. “Hey, it’s the Brooklyn DA, man.”
Another NYC story, 1/8,000,000
The Arts District is not the major issue when lives are at stake and the guy is complicit with the criminals.
AS for who he is, a communist who helped get the Dictator into Nicauraga twenty years ago....helping the Sandanistas. He and his wife were able to honeymoon in CUBA, at time when no one else were allowed into Cuba. That does not speak well of an American.
