On Thursday’s edition of WABC’s “Sid & Friends in the Morning,” New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) reacted to Target closing one of its locations in the city due to theft by stating that more work needs to be done, but shoplifting is down and “people who want to wake up every day praying that Eric Adams the pilot fails and crashes, you better wake up, man. You’re a passenger on this plane called NYC. You better hope I land this damn plane and stop hoping and praying that I fail. The city is back. We’re resilient.”
Host Sid Rosenberg asked, [relevant exchange begins around 20:20] “I want to get to Target, and it turns out that they’re leaving. And you know, Mr. Mayor, we can’t afford that. We can’t. We need big business here. We need big names here in New York, and the fact that they can’t survive, just like what’s going on in San Francisco, Los Angeles, because people walk in and rob stuff every day, I mean, come on, man, that is unbelievable. That’s ridiculous. … What the hell is going on in this city that Target is leaving and our daycares are not really daycares, instead, they’re criminal operations?

Adams is a first class phony.
As a candidate, he went to big W/S donors. To get his filthy hands on their money.....
he promised them the moon, everything they wanted to hear....said he was a “different” candidate.
He gets in and has an immediate “character transplant.” Surprise. Turns out he lied about everything.
Looting the city treasury.....of whatever the De Blasio’s left..........is Adams main occupation.
“Where can you buy tic tacs off-camera, today?”
I assure you I can my friend, but as to where, I’d rather not say...
I’ve heard some stores may go to the Costco model, where you have a membership card ,and you have to scan it in order to enter the premises.
Shopping may become more of a hassle with more security on hand , then becoming more time consuming to do routine shopping.
May6e stores will have to hire more employees , to be on hand so they can unlock the cases where so many items are now being locked up to deter thieves.
And maybe many stores will do away with the self checkout, so that we are all being watched more by actual human beings. I’ve heard a lot of retail theft happens when people”forget” to scan a few items at self checkout.
“It’s weird how crime goes down when you reduce the list of things considered crimes.”
Of course if you also reduce the things being stolen by closing companies, that helps your poll numbers fodder. And you’ll hear about it as the stupidity continues with “thefts are down...look at me.” Art of misdirection. (Lying)

The looters will be waiting out doors to steal from you as you load your car.
Zob zob zob, zip zip zip.
A month or so ago I discovered Police Body footage videos on YouTube. These are better than watching older episodes of COPS.
There was one recently where a woman of color self scanned her cart full of items at the Target checkout but never paid for them. The store detective called the local police somewhere in Florida and they approached her in the parking lot. She then gave them a false name, etc. The crazy thing it that she had $1400 worth of merchandise in her car/cart.
I could not believe that there were items at Target that could add up to that amount unless she had a couple flat screens, which she did not. She was with a friend who actually paid for her items and drove a huge SUV.
Then she tried to run from the cop in the parking lot. They arrested her for Grand Theft because the stuff was over $750.
kearnyirish2 makes an interesting comment:
NYC mayor Adams is booting single young men from migrant shelters........ in favor of children.
Why? THEY are the prize. We now loot the nurseries of the Third World.
In decades past, the US would have never admitted “unaccompanied children”; now we pay a premium to lure them across our border.
And the teachers unions are taking note.
The sexualization of school libraries, trans nonsense, unisex bathrooms, etc, are loathed by American parents who are called “racist” for resorting to home schooling.
Parents of illegals dont fight back...completely content w/ a free school lunch, a desk, and a pencil.
Full disclosure: Born and raised there. Got out 1980s.
Recalls the mantra of the late SF Giants manager Roger Craig: “Hummmm, baby” . . .
The technology exists to both have an ID card AND a fingerprint scanner.
I think we will see that 100%
n fact, that sounds like a business opportunity
So long as you are a fat arsed guy with taxpayer funded private security — why should you care?
He has what he wanted. The rest can be slaves.
Probably what we have to do from thus point. If you're a thief, your membership card will get revoked and you'll be arrested for trespassing if you try to come back the next time.
