The term before Rudy's averaged 2100 murders a year.
There were 7117 murders during Rudy's eight years in office; at the rate when he entered office 16680 murders would have been expected so Rudy saved 9563 murder victims.
Over 90% of the victims of murder (and other violent crime) in NYC are People of Color, so Rudy saved about 8600 of their lives.
And considering that the murder rathe at the end of Rudy's term was around 650 a year, going forward every year 1450 fewer New Yorkers found themselves on a slab in the coroner's office.
A: A stupid comment whinging about how stupid the post is...
"Nothing is ever solved by an open discussion! Sssssh, and maybe the bad actors will stop because you're not giving them a headache yapping about it."
I'm just asking questions.
@4: What are you babbling about?
At this point I think it's safe to assume - just like turtles - it's stupid all the way down...
