The prior Mayor was David Dinkins who became Mayor in 1990. In the early 1990&#8217;s the crime rate in New York City was staggering. There were 2,245 murders, over 100,000 robberies, and over 200,000 burglaries (source <a href=\"https:\/\/tskkc.com\/more\/112323\/nyc-crime-rate-1990-to-present-historical-trends-safety-data-neighborhood-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>). When Rudy Giuliani was elected, he instituted a broken-window policy.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, the broken-window theory says that visible signs of disorder and neglect lead to more serious crimes. It supports the enforcement of laws preventing broken windows and other seemingly minor crimes to deter more serious crimes.<\/p>\n<p>By the end of the 1990&#8217;s, New York City was one of the safest cities in the nation.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.americanthinker.com\/articles\/2026\/06\/the_doj_s_broken_windows.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The American Thinker<\/a> posted an article suggesting we use the broken-window policy in the Department of Justice.<\/p>\n<p>The article notes:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>The left is outraged that Trump is seeking retribution.\u00a0\u00a0Duh!\u00a0\u00a0Retribution is a key component of the crime-punishment equation.\u00a0\u00a0The punishment must be severe enough to deter future crimes.\u00a0\u00a0That the left continues to attack our right of self-governance proves that the punishment has not reached adequate severity \u2014 yet.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>The left insists that the DoJ is not Donald Trump\u2019s tool to use against his enemies.\u00a0\u00a0We know that \u2014 Merrick Garland isn\u2019t the attorney general anymore.\u00a0\u00a0The Trump DoJ is actually going after <em>our<\/em> enemies \u2014 those who attacked our constitutional republic.\u00a0\u00a0The left attacked our institutions of law and order and must be held accountable \u2014 or there will be no law or order.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>When a law enforcement officer is attacked, the system reacts far more energetically than it would for other assaults.\u00a0\u00a0That\u2019s because an attack on a police officer is an attack on the institution we have commissioned to maintain social order.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>When an ICE agent was struck in Washington, D.C., it wasn\u2019t one guy hitting another guy with a sub sandwich.\u00a0\u00a0It was a citizen giving \u201cwe the people\u201d the finger by attacking our agent.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>When E. Jean Carroll sued Donald Trump, it wasn\u2019t a ditz with a bad memory trying to get a windfall from a billionaire with a big mouth.\u00a0\u00a0It was part of a planned conspiracy to undermine our right to choose our leadership.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>When James Comey posted \u201c86 47,\u201d it wasn\u2019t an innocent photo of sea shells.\u00a0\u00a0It was a threat against our president, using the same symbolism violent protestors are using to call for his murder.\u00a0\u00a0The fact that there have already been numerous attempts against on the president\u2019s life makes Comey\u2019s posting all the more egregious.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The article concludes:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Rudy Giuliani used the \u201cbroken window\u201d strategy to clean up the mess that the Dems had made of New York City. He punished delinquents for misdemeanors to deter them from becoming felons. It worked.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Is the DoJ using Giuliani\u2019s strategy in its pursuit of Comey and Carroll, or are they just pieces of a much bigger strategy?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>As silly as James Comey\u2019s posting was, it was an illegal implied threat against a president. Carroll\u2019s alleged perjury was an illegal undermining of our justice system. Both acts had a shared objective of preventing Trump from being our president. That makes both offenses something far more important \u2014 recent acts of an ongoing conspiracy. As such, Comey and Carroll have reset the statute of limitations for all acts of the conspiracy that came before them.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Now the conspirators are faced with the necessary consequences of their actions \u2014 without a statute of limitations shield. James Comey, John Brennen, James Clapper, Letitia James, Fani Willis, Jack Smith, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, and numerous others must be held to account for the crime-punishment ledger to balance. Their combined offenses undermined our right to free and fair (i.e., honestly informed) elections, and all should be treated as such.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Perhaps prosecution of the Comey and Carroll \u201cwindow breakers\u201d will lead to the eventual downfall of the traitorous conspirators.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Using a broken-window policy may be the only way to stop the weaponization of the Justice Department in the future.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 1994, Rudy Giuliani became Mayor of New York City.
