   @WhitestTemplar @ForbiddenDreamer @EdBoatConnoisseur @ChristiJunior @futurebird That's 100% what happened. Giuliani was a piece of shit in many different ways but one way in which he was good was his approach to crime.
   
   >Giuliani led the 1980s federal prosecution of New York City mafia bosses as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. After a failed campaign for Mayor of New York City in the 1989 election, he succeeded in 1993, and was reelected in 1997, campaigning on a "tough on crime" platform. He led New York's controversial "civic cleanup" from 1994 to 2001. Mayor Giuliani appointed an outsider, William Bratton, as New York City's new police commissioner. In an effort to reform the police department's administration and policing practices, they applied the broken windows theory. The theory states that social disorder, like disrepair and vandalism, attracts loitering addicts, panhandlers, prostitutes, and criminals. Accordingly, Giuliani removed panhandlers and sex clubs from Times Square. As crime rates fell steeply, well ahead of the national average pace, Giuliani was widely credited, though later critics cite other contributing factors.

     @LivingSpaceStudios @WhitestTemplar @ForbiddenDreamer @EdBoatConnoisseur @ChristiJunior @futurebird As Bukele is showing today as well, brutalizing criminals works.
