Curtis Sliwa’s the real deal—a guy who didn’t wait for City Hall’s permission to clean up New York. Founded the Guardian Angels in ’79 when crime was exploding and politicians were hiding. Patrolled subways, streets, and neighborhoods himself—no slogans, no taxpayer-funded PR teams. His plan? Hire XXXXX new cops, scrap Adams’ disastrous City of Yes zoning free-for-all, and end the activist racket exploiting shelter laws.

Meanwhile, Mamdani’s idea of public safety is disarming NYPD, cheering “abolish ICE” mobs, and letting fare-beaters bankrupt the MTA. Sliwa doesn’t theorize—he acts. Mamdani doesn’t lead—he sabotages.

One built a legacy intervening where government failed. The other built a career failing where New Yorkers need intervention. The choice isn’t hard—it’s survival.
