New York has a shoplifting epidemic, and its changing the city in more ways than one, and those changes might be permanent...
(Excerpt) Read more at youtube.com ...
I’m against this.
People outside of NYC are laughing about this, but left unabated, we’re about to surrender the largest city in the US to the criminals, illegals, and the Islamic nutbags. I take little comfort in this. and the belief that it won’t spread beyond NYC limits is idiotic.
Nah, once BlackRock and the CCP buy it all up for pennies on the dollar they will start enforcing the law again.
Looking at the integrity of the new york court system, we already have surrendered to the criminals.
Same here. I'm in California, and people laugh when anything bad happens here, too. But NY and CA are still part of the United States. Whatever happens here spreads to other states.
Lots of criminals will get arrested and taken off the streets. Some will likely diu\sappear. Some will get shot.
Is most of this due to Atty Gen. Bragg? I don’t understand why the leniency is allowed to continue. Everyone can see the results.
Merrick Garland says we should lay off justice department. The distributed justice system appears to be cancerous and filled with Soros leftists from one end to another. they are using criminals to terrorize the native population.
Lamposts will give light.
Don’t care

The fish rots from the top. This is communist slow moving coup. Defund the police anda cultivate crime until the public turns to harsher federal police state policy to feel safe.
That is exactly what I've been thinking all along. Why else would you trash such a high dollar real estate city that brings in so much tourism and commerce?
So you and your donors can get prime real estate for nothing. And when that happens you watch this vagrancy and crime epidemic get a kick in the groin.
Well, we’ve been telling them for years that America was the land ‘o da free.
Is it still prime real estate? Will it be prime real estate?
If there’s a perception the subways aren’t safe, and people stop riding, can they ever be safe again? Same for the streets.
If enough rich people leave, are they coming back? Will others take their place?
My old boss lived in Manhattan, spent a fortune on food and wine. Spends most of his time in Florida because of the taxes. He’s not coming back.
Even before the Summer of Floyd, I saw an increase in shoplifting in Los Angeles. I saw security guards just watch and do nothing (apparently store policy, lest the shoplifter claim racism or injury from assault, and sue).
And the shoplifting has gotten way worse after the Summer of Floyd. I saw BLM rioters on ABC News arrested after looting from a store, given a citation by police, then released without even being taken to the station.

This has the anarchists names, Soros and Obozo written all over it. Soros figured out long ago that money could buy out corrupt DA’s like Alvin Bragg who he would then fund and bribe their way through the election process into office. I saw Sean Hannity just moved out of NY to Florida. I do not believe people are dumb enough to want this NY chaos so Soros’ funded anarchy has to be what’s behind it. The political system has to be rigged and corrupted out from under the citizens and now it appears beyond repair. Somehow the Soros high rollers need to be prosecuted as corrupt international criminal enterprises. They need to be declared international criminal outlaws and their money that funds these criminal enterprises has to be seized and forfeited. First Amendment political rights do not include the right to corrupt the internal political process of a country with the intent to destroy its civil society, i.e., law and order.
It already happened. They just don't know it.
New York City, like the rest of U.S. cities, became an open-air prison / psych ward decades ago. There is nothing to stop these cities from looking like Detroit. They were in trouble a century ago, and despite a surge during World War 2, they peaked in 1950 and have continued their decline since then. Politicians are not being up front about the harsh reality that the cost to renovate the decayed infrastructure in such cities far exceeds any return on the investment.
Even worse, with the exception of the Grievance Industry, healthcare, and maybe education, industries are better served outside of a city.

This is all true. Too bad the guy on this video was yelling his head off instead of talking. I had to shut it off.
As I posted back when it happened, a thief ran right into me in one of those extended drugstores. Don’t want to mention the name of the chain because it wasn’t their fault of course; in fact there was somebody chasing him.
The fish is very rotten at the head. Some people seem to be catching on. But ignorance, combined with habit and ridiculous loyalties to the wrong party, will keep NY from improving anytime soon I’m afraid.
