Gov. Hochul is as efficient as a plant. I say to my New York family and friends, “Hochul is a plant in the office in Albany. She is going to help NY as well as your petunias in your garden will. Not too bad to look at but WORTHLESS in leading NY State!”

Just getting reparations for what was done to George Floyd.

We all pay higher prices because of shoplifting. They just spread out the cost to all of us. I’d be fine if they shot them on site.

4.4 billion? They fence that much merchandise? If the FBI was even -slightly- professional they should easily make some huge arrests.
FBI is corrupt.

If the local government would step away, private companies could create secure shopping zones for urban buyers.
But, local government loves these shoplifting rackets.

The insidious aspect to this story is that it assumes that individual theft is okay — it’s only bad if organized.

The dims voting for this order all of their stuff or have their personal shoppers do it for them. This kind of crap only hurts the rank and file that try to live on normal paychecks. Of course, much of that rank and file vote for who they are told to vote for. Let them eat cake.

However, Hochul vetoed a bipartisan bill last week — to the chagrin of store owners — that would have created a task force to combat organized theft.Typical gubmint response to a problem they create....hey...let's create a blue ribbon panel to study this. It'll need a couple of million dollars for the study and we'll get the results in a year. And the answer will be....gubmint needs more money.
But here's the simple solution.
Just arrest the criminals.
Prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.
Serve the maximum time possible based on the crime.
I'll bill NY for $500,000.

Might be a good time to rename the city to “New Detroit”.

If any of the elected officials cared, this would not be happening.

The GOP in NY is a pathetic joke. Plenty of issues to run on, but totally silent on all of them.

Why? Because Demonrats love and protect criminals instead of law-abiding citizens. Really.

The major retailers and the Soros D.A.’s refuse to prosecute. It will only get worse until those in charge are gone.
