A crime tale straight out of Charles Dickens is unfolding in the Big Apple — with adults “directing” children who appear no older than 10 to steal from unsuspecting businesses, witnesses told The Post.

The chubby-cheeked crooks have terrorized bars on the east and west side of Manhattan and Brooklyn for months, graduating from snatching money in unattended bags to stealing cash from open safes in at least two bars in the last few weeks, according to workers and owners.

I am surprised that no New Yorkers have called out the column’s author as anti-semitic, as Fagin was a Jew (after a fashion).

Couldn’t happen to a nicer City!

Then your mama gets to sue the proprietor and wins the ghetto lottery! You, of course, are dead. But she can just squeeze out another to replace you.

Only in this version, Fagan wears a hoodie and goes by “DeAndre.”

Not likely I'd be dead. I've been in two situations with my gun drawn first that said otherwise and I'm still here. They are too. They got "smart" and ran.

“So what kind of nut would run a business in that state?”

The ultimate goal is to crash the system. They maybe think they can do California as a pilot program.

It's all fun and games until someone puts a bullet in your head.

After which the city burns, and the family collects $10 million.

precisely what I was alluding to.

Bring your child to work day.

Rotten culture. Rotten people. “Stay the hell away from them.”

[keving]

I’m the end a liberal dictator will take over the city. At least Texas and Florida will have traditional bagels and deli sandwiches.

“Is it them Yogi?”

[Wuli]

Taught by parents who were taught their “disparities” in life meant they were “entitled”, including entitled to steal.
