Re: Crime in the Bahamas
Actually I think he was the AG when he took on the mob. For that they made him mayor.

Re: Crime in the Bahamas
It's a great story and one that got him elected mayor, unfortunately crime had begun its decline under the previous administration and continued down at the same rate for a decade or more. Broken Windows policing and "stop and frisk" got a lot of press, but removing lead from paint and fuel in the 1970's had more to do with declines in the crime rate everywhere in the country including NYC. Less young men entering adulthood with poor impulse control and emotional instability = less crime.......

Re: Crime in the Bahamas
Statistical crime may have already been going down, but there were a lot more subtle "crimes" going on i.e. the window washers extorting money from motorists, or the rampant prostitution on 42nd St.
It was a night and day difference after he became mayor and literally cleaned up the town.--- The poster formerly known as Scrod ---

Re: Crime in the Bahamas
Rudy was actually the U.S. Attorney for NYC for several years and really got a lot of press about his
successful prosecution of a lot of dirty politicians and organized crime figures. Things like murder,
prostitution etc are the responsibility of the local law enforcement folks (NYC police). He became very
popular for his success and ran for mayor where he got to appoint the police commissioner of his choice
and together they did a pretty good job of cleaning up the city.. Yes there is still plenty of crime there
but things like tourists getting mugged on 8th Ave etc are pretty much a thing of the past. The immediate
former governor of NJ, Chris Christi was in a similar position as US Attorney for NJ and he successfully
prosecuted many crooked politicians (NJ had/has plenty to pick from). As a result he got himself
elected as governor.

Re: Crime in the Bahamas
Italian American here.
WOP is a derogatory term, as bad as S*ic Ni**er, G*oK, and K*ke.
I grew up in Brooklyn, when as a kid and it was as safe as can be then. Now, not so much. The first 6 -8 minutes of the NY news reports all of the homicides that day, and it happens everyday. The Commie Mayor (look it up - He was a card carrying Communist before He changed his name and took his Mothers maiden name) has made it as bad as Chicago.
So I guess it's a tie now.

Re: Crime in the Bahamas
I live in a suburb of Chicago and it has the highest gun laws in the country and has the highest murder rate too. It's on the north side, souts side all over, car jacking is on the rise. It may be a fun place to visit. Politicians in Chicago are so corrupted, we have the most Goveners in prison, one of the highest tax rates for goods and property tax in the country. Were getting ready to sell our two houses to get out and move to Florida. It's not bashing when it's truth. I've lived here for 40years now.
