“Kathy Hochul will pledge to crack down on retail theft..”

Crackdown? You mean like a law, that one would enforce? Dims have tried doing nothing and they’re all out of ideas. (I think I stole that from The Simpsons.) Hochul would approve.

…as fed-up New York business owners continue to plead for help with the shoplifting scourge.

And yet, they’ll probably keep voting for Democrats.

The citizens of New York, through their own majority votes, put in all these Soros-funded DAs and legislators who promised to go easy on the criminals because prosecuting to the full extent of the law is racist.

You get the government you deserve.

Gov. Kathy Hochul will pledge to crack down on retail theft as part of her 2024 policy agenda,


Government is evaluated on intentions, never results.

“We’re going to continue living this nightmare if legislators don’t fix this mess,

***********************************************************

Not a damn thing is going to get fixed until laws are changed to impose SEVERE penalties for DA’s that don’t enforce the law to the letter. And, that won’t help either until Marxist’s Leftists are run out of town by whatever means necessary and two things happen for cops. # 1 REFUND # 2 Quit expecting PERFECTION from COPS! They are human too. On close calls regarding split second decisions, COPS must be given the benefit of the doubt or anarchy will continue because no one is going to want to be a cop anymore! We already see that.

The bible proves once,again to be spot on

“Spare the rod and spoil the child”

Too late to reform the monsters that the left have created with their lax rules

the owners of most commercial property and businesses in most large cities including New York, don’t actually LIVE in the city, so they cant VOTE!

Property owners have NO representation, a homeless guy living on the sidewalk gets more votes than a guy who owns 100 commercial buildings in the city, but lives in the suburbs!

““We’re going to continue living this nightmare if legislators don’t fix this mess,””

The legislators are the creators of this mess and they won’t lift a finger to reverse themselves.

It’s like calling on Al Capone to stop all the bootlegging, gambling, prostitution, and murders that went on in Chicago.

no possibility of stopping the acceleration of lawlessness in NY unless no-bail laws revoked and police funding and political support are restored ... that won’t happen with Democrats in charge, and NY voters will keep voting for Democrats no matter what ... so NY will continue to sink into chaos, no matter how much Democrats pretend they’ll “do something”, without of course actually doing anything ...

“I’m sorry, but we are going to have to start hanging thieves.”

I kind of like the Arabian solution of chopping off 1 hand or foot for each conviction. A bunch of guys with one hand, or no hands, walking around the ghetto would be walking adverstisements on why people should not steal.

She didn’t act before, but now her legally protected illegals are involved and they hit an Iconic Manhattan retailer - Bloomingdales. So, of course the New York governor NOW has to act.
