CS -“NYC has over 1000 shootings before Labor Day, are we going back to to the days of Lindsey, Beame and Dinkins”
Skip Beame. All his problems came from Lindsay!
And you forgot Koch.
But you’re 100% right.
In spite of the Liberal Posts here – this is old News.

Title -“New Yorkers fear return of ‘bad old days’ after shootings surge –
City is rattled by rising tide of violence following a long period of relative peace”
“It has reawakened a fear — never far from the surface for longtime residents — of a return to the “bad old days” of the 1970s and 1980s, when crime and violence were rampant and neighbourhoods became “no-go” zones.
The city’s success at taming that violence, beginning in the mid-1990s under Rudolph Giuliani as mayor, was not only a matter of life and death — many in the business community credit it with setting the stage for its economic resurgence.”
