News Brief: It's Not a 'Fall From Grace', This Has Always Been Who Giuliani Was

2020-11-21 01:26:57 +0000 UTCAnother Giuliani story that I don’t think is well known is in 1995 when he rolled tanks into Alphabet City to evict squatters even though a judge had put an injunction against the police. The judge said the squatters has a case under the homestead act. Alphabet City was blocked off for months by the police.
