An outraged Manhattan clothing-store owner whose shop was ransacked twice by a violent mob says state Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie’s refusal to toughen retail-theft laws is simply “ridiculous.

“I’d be glad to talk to him so he can learn what it’s like firsthand dealing with these problems and getting the same people who come back over and over and over again to rob us,” seethed Kenneth Giddon, co-owner of Rothman’s New York in Union Square, to The Post on Monday.

“I think it’s ridiculous,” Gidden fumed after the powerful Albany pol last week scoffed at enacting harsher penalties for violent shoplifters, declaring, “I just don’t believe raising penalties is ever a deterrent on crime.”

Escape from NYC.

Make it a law abiding peep and taxpayer desert.

It’s obvious that New York City policies have come back to punch Democrats in the face.
I’ve come along way since 911.
Al-Qaeda would’ve been a better government to run New York City

Heastie is one of the black racist commies who want to loosen things up for his “homies”. He just can’t stand to see them face justice for their crimes.

The whole point of Heastie’s BLM inspired soft on crime policies is to keep blacks out of jail. Damn the consequences. He’s not concerned at all by the subsequent black crime wave.
