Thanks to the left, we will have to re-scale our IQ spectrum, since they have conclusively demonstrated that when we include the woke, we need numbers far, far to the left of zero to represent their (lack of) intellect.

The answer is to deputize store security guards and give them the power to arrest. Next the DA needs to prosecute. My bad, this is NYC/S we’re taking about. The answer is to provide shopping carts and moving trucks to the five finger discount customers so they can get out of the way of the few paying customers faster.

I don’t think the Left gets much of anything. They are so out
of tune with what is taking place. There’s always an excuse
to shield all the terrible outcomes they produce.

Those kiosks would simply become another object to be torn
apart during the mayhem created by the goons they created and
have continued to shield and support.

“install kiosks in stores to connect would-be thieves w/ social service programs.”
Does that include a list of approved stolen goods fences?

If the Democrats would put 75% as much effort into actually
helping this nation, as they put into trying to destroy it,
the nation would right itself in no time.

Imagine working this hard to be able to mismanage our
nation.

The sad thing is, our nation is so dumbed down a good portion
of our citizens can’t differentiate right from wrong.

I learned as a teenager, watching president Carter, that leftists can talk a good game but they CANNOT CANNOT CANNOT fix ANYTHING. If a leftist proclaims he will walk to Canada he will invariably end up in Mexico. But he will not be able to get out of Mexico no matter how long he has to try.

This plan of hizzonors is stupid as can be but it is what these people do.

Aw, c’mon:

If we’d have just shut up - instead of crying out for likes/clicks/retwits/etc. - they’d have actually done it.

We need to stop cutting ourselves off at the knees and just give them more rope, ESPECIALLY when they do it to their own cities.

My plan to stop shoplifting: Allow security guards to use deadly force when warranted and prevent the Soros-thugs from indicting the security guards (or anyone else) for using deadly force when necessary...and post pictures of the dead thugs and their names and addresses on the official website of the municipality.

I’ll go a step further. Lethal force should be allowed whether necessary or not. If a thief runs into someone who wants to kill him just for the thrill of it then tough shyte. Don’t wanna risk death, don’t steal.

We all have to be compassionate and take the lead of AOC on this )(/S)

Headline:
AOC suggests NYC crime spike linked to unemployment and parents shoplifting to feed children
‘They feel like they either need to shoplift some bread or go hungry’

By Louise Hall, Monday 13 July 2020
“Maybe this has to do with the fact that people aren’t paying their rent and are scared to pay their rent and so they go out, and they need to feed their child and they don’t have money,” Rep. Ocasio-Cortez continued. “So they feel like they either need to shoplift some bread or go hungry.”

Authorities have said that crime numbers have recently surged in the city, with shootings in New York City last month reaching more than double the previous June.

New York’s Police Department (NYPD) said in a statement that incidents had “significantly spiked” and risen across all boroughs, despite some restrictions in place over the Covid-19 pandemic.

Reminds me of what Muhammed Ali said when asked if he would be President. He said he had a chance to go "from the galley to the number one spot, I'll say: This ship must be sinking, right?"

There isn’t a black run city that isn’t a s***hole!

Here’s how you deescalate: put the s#it back, leave the store, never come back.

If he wanted to stop theft, he would arm the shop-owners with mini-guns.

This is the same city that fleeced the taxpayers to set up free internet kiosks around the city despite being warned repeatedly not to. They were setting them up where pay phones had been.

They ignored reason and increasing complaints of homeless men exposing themselves and masturbating while directing sexually threatening behavior at passing women until passersby filmed such behavior and posted it online.

New York, New York, a city so nice mentally ill they named it twice.

I suspect part of this is their realization that the current surge’s surge of migrants will yield exponential crime rate increases that will both overload the courts’ criminal dockets as well as highlight the “asylees’” proclivity to lawlessness. You can bet these social service kiosks’ will be reinforced with spanish and other foreign languages, as well as dripping in cultural sensitivity.

The arrogance in this man is almost exceeded by his ignorance.

People shoplift because they can.

All the motives behind that couldn’t be solved by a thousand sociologists arguing how many racists can dance on the head of a pin, much less a kiosk and a QR code.
