Agree. That approach was based on the "broken windows" theory of a criminologist that Rudy hired. The main initial focus was to stop fare jumpers in the subway and remove graffiti.

They are changing the script on what is and isn't a crime.

But, look at Australia, they sure clamp down on people leaving their house.
Hate speech and misinformation is up on deck across the globe. They get to decide the qualifiers.
You can't protest your school board without being labeled an extremist.
Which is why my daughter is now home (virtual) schooled.
Terry McAuliffe, running for governor of
Maryland Virginia, said the same. They are so confident that the take over is complete. He's not in office, he's running for office and said that.
One of the worst things we ever did was to consolidate our community schools into countywide schools. Where my wife is from, they still have high schools in every little town that have 150 total students. My county high school has 2200 students.
If I have an issue with how things are taught or implemented, what system do I have a larger voice?
Those little schools, without the class offerings of the big schools, have better average ACT scores than ours.
Those little schools even play football. Every able bodied boy is needed. I had a nephew years ago that played football and was in marching band.
They aren't going to play against a St X, but there are plenty of small schools there to have their own leagues.
The victim mentality is strong in here. Conservatives are pussies.
