Sex and the City star Cynthia Nixon is receiving social media blowback for a recent post in which she expressed bewilderment that her local CVS drug store is taking anti-shoplifting measures by locking up basic products like laundry detergent.
Cynthia Nixon — who ran unsuccessfully for New York governor in 2018 — tweeted her comment along with her disbelief shoplifting can be prosecuted as a crime. “As so many families can’t make ends meet right now, I can’t imagine thinking that the way to solve the problem of people stealing basic necessities out of desperation is to prosecute them,” she tweeted.

What’s her address? I’m sure she won’t mind if a few folks help themselves to some of her high dollar swag.
It’s just to help make ends meet after all.

Let these needy shoplifters go to Cynthia Nixon’s rent-controlled (subsidized) apartment and “shop” from her.
Steal toilet paper out of the bathroom in her home and see how many years you get in prison.
I am so glad we left that God forsaken place.
I wonder if she locks her own doors and has a security system for her house.
If she feels so bad for those folks, why doesn’t she use her own money and buy them stuff and give it to them?
I guess she wouldn’t mind if people steal basic necessities from her house?
Hey - Celine Dion says that they just want to touch the things they can’t have. Where’s the harm in that?
A Walgreens near me is now locking up certain brands of toothpaste. It is on a major bus line which sees a lot of homeless and low-income traffic.
Certain Walmarts in low-life neighborhoods have been doing it for quite awhile now, especially in the cosmetics and personal hygiene areas. There’s some of em that have closed down due to such a high loss rate in those areas due to the loss exceeding any gain.
What an absolute idiot.
Would she let people into her home to help themselves to whatever they ‘need’?
Ugly and stupid DOES go to the bone.
San Francisco is involved in this grand social experiment now. It doesn’t seem to be going well.
IIRC, Cynthia chose the homosexual lifestyle...so not surprised she’s an intellectual idiot lacking a modicum of common sense...and just plain fruitcake insane!
Liberals ae incapable of knowing just how illogical they sound
This is the problem with Les Miserable being as popular as it was. These dimwits all believe crime is out of desperation a la Jean Valjean stealing a loaf of bread to feed his starving sister’s children.
Forget the fact that these shoplifting rackets are rather surgical by pilfering the highest value items that sell the quickest at flea markets and online shops.
“Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.”

A quick glance at my local paper and Nixon’s theory dissolves. The shoplifters are rarely stealing items like baby formula, diapers or food to stay alive. They are stealing items that can be sold for drugs money like electronics and jewelry. Others that have been arrested are stealing items like beer, make up, sports gear and other similar stuff.
Drugs stores where you live locking up basic items is a sign that you should move.
