Fantastic mayor. Stop and frisk pushed the limits of the US Constitution, but I concur that desperate times called for desperate measures and the results were impressive.

Unfortunately, his current ideology and rhetoric is fucked but a man is judged not by what he speaks what he does, and Giuliani has done plenty.

The last thing I would accuse him of being is racist against Italians. Come on man, a criminal is a criminal and gangs will always exist along ethnic lines. The Italian Mafia was the biggest criminal disruption to the New York economy and so he disrupted them. If the Triads were holding entire industries hostage, he would have prosecuted them, not out of racism but pragmatism.

Albanian gangsters put out a hit on him and he didn't cow to pressure.
