Serial NYC shoplifter waltzes free despite staggering 254 arrests
NY Post ^ | 7/12/2025 | Tina Moore

Meet the shameless serial shoplifter who is still waltzing free down NYC store aisles despite a staggering 254 arrests.

Anthony White, 63, who has made larceny a career, was busted as recently as May on burglary charges after being paroled from prison on parole in December.

The thief was allegedly ripping off stores where he had already been banned for theft — but was set free by judges after his arraignments on the latest offenses, court records show.

Rampant shoplifting like White is accused of has prompted stores across the city to lock their goods behind plastic barricades.

While the number of offenses has dipped 10% so far this year over last year, the crime has surged 89% to more than 27,705 incidents this year from 14,286 in 2020, police data show.

Critics and cops complain that the petty thieves are routinely released back to the street as soon as they’re arrested, stymying the NYPD’s attempts to return the offense to pre-2020 levels, police sources said.

You mean the evil profiteers who are there just to exploit the masses can’t just absorb the cost of a little civil rights shopping?

Elections have consequences and ignorant stupidity like theirs has even greater ones.

The consequences will be born by the entire nation. Given our highly centralized government, fed by massive debt, massive automatic welfare programs, and a national neo-marxist political movement, what happens in NY City will be paid for by the entire nation.

One wonders what it takes in NYC to have someone classified as a “serial shoplifter” and maybe take away his shopping privileges?

Hey, if NYC folks are stupid enough to elect Madmandani for mayor who says he will defund NYPD then Anthony White will never have to get arrested again and all those illegal aliens will not worry about getting arrested for rape or murder either.

Go after the judge. Equal treatment under the law. Find cases where the judge gave harsh punishments to white criminals and lesser sentences to minorities.

They leave NYC and keep voting for the same kinds of people in their new place.

Locusts devour and destroy the crops, then move on for other crops to devour and destroy. NYC locusts are devouring North Carolina, Cali locusts are just about finished in Colorado and will soon be swarming other states.

I realize all of that but maybe the rest of the country can learn a lesson about being fooled into electing anti American scum like Mamdani. NY city can set a prime example when they’re broke and hungry and rioting in the streets.

RE: I mean, why even bother to show up to arrest someone.

There was a superb montage of three minutes of various assaults shown on NewsNation recently. In quick succession, victim being held down and brutally punched repeatedly on the sidewalk, carjacked woman with her head slammed against the car twice, subway riders attacked, atm user hit with a metal bar, “teens” surround and kick a victim and more.
All of them resulting in a Soros backed DA and prosecutors allowing the perp to go without going to prison.

Host did say the object of getting the police to not bother to arrest someone seemed to be working as the “crime rate” was said to go down sometimes.

Photo....

I’ll Be Seeing You
Sung by Billie Holiday.

I’ll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day and through.

In that small café
The park across the way
The children’s carousel
The chestnut trees, the wishing well

Had this guy concentrated on one thing such as stealing auto parts to build a Cadillac like the Johnny Cash song One Piece At A Time then he could have made something of himself by now.

In another thread, some people are getting upset over a shoplifter being shot in the back.

I really don’t care about which body part a robber gets shot in ...
