day after a brazen shoplifter was seen walking out with a buffet-ful of stolen meat from a Manhattan Trader Joe’s, another thief has been recorded striking the location.
The unnamed man can be seen on video, exclusively taken by The Post, in an aisle at the grocery store’s East 14th Street location shoving two cans of soda into his pants and casually strolling out of the store.
“I don’t have to,” Wednesday’s alleged thief told a Post photographer outside the store.
“I used to have a job working all the time, ya know, not stealing, not having to really,” he continued. “No one knows with going on. This ridiculous nonsense, my family killed for nothing.”
The man told The Post he is unemployed and uses EBT to buy food.
On Tuesday, a so-called “Hamburglar” walked out the doors of the same store with 10 packages of meat in his arms. Frustrated workers said they were barred by their employer from stopping the man, who is being sought by cops.
Manhattan’s DA Alvin Bragg said Wednesday his office trying to figure out how to stop people ” who are really going store to store and just taking.”
“How we can kind of aggregate that conduct and so charge it at a higher level when appropriate,” Bragg said

Sell or trade for heroin.
So much for relying on the woke crowd to transform us into a meatless society.
I am taking a bag into Traders Joe’s on Friday and filling it up - hope they don’t try and stop me.
The NY kookburger mayor talked about eating vegetable life. His voters are taking all the steaks.
Lots more money to be made stealing from upscale stores - place where the ‘elites’ who push ‘defunding cops’ shop...
And I bet they’ll be foolish enough to re-elect him.
Well...this is where it leads.
XLNT idea. Be sure to take a Trader bag.
I can walk to Trader Joe and did just that, walked around store filling bag, then put contents on checkout stand and they refilled it. They thought it was very clever of me.

Here is a cutting edge idea in the area of criminal science: ARREST, PROSECUTE and INCARCERATE
There is a local hometown grocery store in a small town near where I live that I used to love to go shopping. Their meat section was amazing and they had their own in-house butcher. Last time I went, the meat section was very low and I found out that they stopped carrying choice cuts of beef as the ‘Amish’ were going in and stealing hundreds of dollars of meat at a time and no one could stop them. Once they got out of the store, they were pretty much home free and no one wanted to risk getting shot in the store by them over some food.
😡

Just what many people wanted to hear.
Yet another I’m-a-victim-so-I-can-steal-from-you bull$#!+ artist.
Wanna stop this crap? Execute shoplifters and looters. Since no one cares, this behavior will never end.

Or, the store could hire a guard to gun them down.
This is how “food deserts” are created. Sorry Manhattan, you collectively voted for it.
I have to assume this is what the Democrats want since they have put into place restriction on what law enforcement or owners can do to stop it.
Nothing goes on forever. The pendulum will swing back and depending how bad it gets before it begins to swing the other way will determine just how violent that change will be.
