He probably fears for his personal safety because he owes money to the mob, and can't pay them back with mayoral favors.


Update (2:00 P.M.): Reached for a response, the de Blasio campaign accused Mr. Lhota of “baseless fear-mongering.”

“Bill de Blasio will make New York safer by ending the overuse of unconstitutional stop and frisk, improving relations between the police and community, and emphasizing smarter policing tactics. It’s clear that New Yorkers are embracing Bill’s positive vision and rejecting Mr. Lhota’s divisive rhetoric,” she continued.
