If theft were punishable by the death penalty, people wouldn’t steal.

Executive Summary -
Lefty New Yorker lives in a $2.5 million Brooklyn brownstone. She steals a little something when she shops Whole Foods. She pays for rest. (I assume)
Why? Because Bezos is worth billions and can afford it.

How do we distinguish “real” New Yorkers from unreal New Yorkers in this?

“I see you have something. Give it to me.”

The government has been living by that rule for a very long time.
Now poor people are living by that rules as well.

It’s not good. Maybe every layer of society should pull back and say “Your stuff is your stuff. I won’t touch it.”

Let’s start with the government, and see if the poor people follow.

When you see women bragging about stealing and think it’s ok, we are seeing the collapse of society in real time.

“She is rich … and I am not. We don’t live on the same planet at all,” said Andrea Jones, 49, who lives in Gompers Houses public housing”

…public housing was designed specifically for this outlook. That and votes.

The Framers wrote of property and it’s SACRED nature in the Federalist Papers MORE THAN 17 TIMES as often as the big THREE rights of the First Amendment COMBINED!

Maybe folks should start breaking into Spiegelman‘s mansion to micro-burglarize.

You know, just to steal some small stuff. iPhones, TV sets, cheaper jewelry, etc.

She can easily afford the loss.

Another 65-year-old resident of the housing project called the sanctimonious five-fingered discount “bulls–t.”

“What she’s saying doesn’t make sense. [Whole Foods owner] Mr. [Jeff] Bezos will just increase the prices,” said the resident, who goes by Mr. Carter and is on a fixed income. “She is not doing us a favor. She is in a movement of her own — to justify what she’s doing.”

Jenny Garcia, 35, a low-income single mom of three, added: “This is not how you help us.”


There is some common sense left, that should encourage us. I sometimes wonder if there is enough good left to overcome the stupid. We are being tested, all of us need to use our voice.

When you steal from a retail outlet that is publicly owned, you are stealing from teachers’ pension funds.

“he’s a billionaire — so why should I have to pay for organic avocados?,”

The mindset of the leftist. That they somehow can justify this as truth makes my head hurt.

“Jones, who uses food stamps”

So one person steals a lemon - on someone else’s dime.

And the person quoted as complaining about it is living on someone else’s dime for everything.

Yes, that makes sense.

A story about two people: one who steals for no reason and one who lives on the government dole. What a wonderful country we’ve become.

Any sane New Yorker needs to get the Hell out of the city. Its only going to get worse. Just don’t bring your Democrat voting habits with you.
