NYC got the city they voted for
NOW the federal government can throw tax dollars from ALL STATES at THEIR PROBLEM...
I live on nearby Long Island and it's nothing like this at all. yet?
But New York officials have plenty of time & resources to persecute a president who's ahead in the polls
Doesnt help that anti-immigration states bussed them over by the thousands but yes they did get what they voted for. The people that vote for something should be first in line to experince the result of their own politics, like the feminists that want a mandatory draft for both sexes to the military.
Infort the turd vurld, bedone the turd vurld
Those 41 people arrested will be released to continue their crimes.
Gonna need a bigger prison....
And giving a right to shelter and debit card 😂
votes are rigged
Good
Exactly
I used to make deliveries in nyc , I would dress like I was homeless so no muggers would take notice of me . Sometimes I would have to carry thousands in cash . I was invisible .
That's freaking hilarious
Smart
Thank you AIPAC for Bankrupting America morally and financially.
In Zionisim We Trust.
lol same, best way to be safe is to be invisible in plain sight.
or maybe add + $1000 to the price of all goods and at the checkout say something like: you won a discount - $1000 to the price
Smart
The fact that NYC is now blaming Ebay for their retail theft rings just proves that the people running that city take zero accountability for their policies.
Well put. Those people are completely detached from reality it seems.
YUP
Its a black thing
Just like they blamed the subway rats & were talking to them too. You gotta Love city council . . .
Why do so many start they comment with "the fact that", "As a", "can we all" and the worst of them all, reply to a comment with "facts"
this is a celebration of African American culture, which is a sign of a vibrant black community in NYC. Alvin Bragg has been a big supporter of the black community and is active in protecting the reputation of the black community. Remember vote Democrat or you aint black
My question is WHY are law abiding citizens in NY voting for the ppl who allow this?
Because the votes are stolen...
US elections are anything but fair.
Biden2024.
A lot of them fled away and are now voting for the same thing in another state
Because they are in it together.. Criminals vote for criminals.
People who steal product for $100 are called criminals. The others stealing billions are called billionaires!
sounds like a skill issue
You're not a victim so stop acting like one
@@dunerinaz BIG MISTAKE!!!
WE ALL are victims: We want to walk in the streets and go shopping in the decent stores that are now closing!
Why you defend them???!
As they say: "As far as government is concerned, nothing happens by accident" ...
Tolerating shoplifting below $1000 is ABSURD. That will DESTROY businesses.
small biz by design
that is the plan
I wonder if they can just price everything over 1000….and apply a discount at check out to make it a normal price…they probably have legislation protecting the thief in that instance too though…
They do it in Houston too…. I was an SCA at Burlington and boy let me tell you
NY and Commifornia, two democrap strongholds falling apart
Not even some 3rd world countries have this level of theft with little to no punishment 😂
kind of differ in that... but not in this magnitude, maybe 1 or 2 shoplifter... not 40, and theres still people saying this they see no problem? you always got out of touch of reality people
the criminals are here from those 3d world countries to commit the crimes they would not be able to there.
Thats the plan to tear down this country because it is a super power. too bad our own people are selling us all out
That's because every criminal from those third world countries is already in America, thanks Senile Joe..
its basically a proven thing the stricter the punishment the lower the crime, might be a little more complicated in NY though because of all the people they're shipping in better they steal detergent than mug people I guess. such a stupid stupid STUPID situation busing all these people in who have zero prospects and literally have to turn to crime.
It's SCARY to imagine an Active Shooter coming in. It's bad enough when an INACTIVE shooter comes in to the store.
Listening to his speedy voice, I already feel the frustration and urgency.
I love how they call looters "shoplifters" like they are a 12 year old stealing a Candy bar.
😂
It is organized crime. There was a time when that would be a major federal crime with significant jail time.
👍
I mean im 16, i shopliftit often and what these people are doing is not shoplifting
they lifting the shop
Can't lock up criminals but can track ice cream.
Only in New York, man.
you chose and support the LGBTIQ Socialism of the democratic party, and now that you have seen how harmful it is to your lives, you run away from America, that is, first you destroy your country and then you say that there is no American dream. This is called HYPOCRISY!!!
Imagine if they treated the criminals like they treat Trump.
@@Thunderbyrd. Instead they protect criminals like they protect Biden (sorry for the redundancy).
@@Thunderbyrd. they are basically treated the same... both get to walk away scott free after all the crimes they committed

First time seeing a video from you. Just want to say, great editing skills. The cuts, angles, and both the video and audio were very captivating. Great job!
Amazon and Walmart love this, they want a online shopping monopoly
Shoplifting is meant to be sneaky. This is straight up robbery with intimidation using a mob of people
Ayooo and it's military aged men doing a lot of the looting.
49 people arrested, the question is were they put in jail buy the guy with no ears al brag . I would guess no f***ing way cut em loose brag . Would never jail anyone.except of course the poor old bodega guy who was defending himself. New york you are finished. It to. Bad adams and gov hoooookie don’t see that. By the way I should have called it boo dee gaz, like dr jilly says.
@@haikudragon1002 they’re all coincidentally black too
Brought in to destroy our cities
The stores being talked about here ARE the shoplifters FIRST ! They know how to source their labor pool from other countries, the ones that make only pennies an hour.
And those state lawmakers that refuse to increase penalties will literally get voted to stay in office.That's how stupid people are.
They are stupid, I also think everyone who votes for a democrat is stupid or insanely misinformed.
God blessing this country
perhaps your vote is meaningless
@@genuineappeal3458- Yes. It is Selections, not Elections. This way, people attack each other AND think they somehow can control "election" outcomes.🤷♀️ This is God's judgement on a wicked country that denies His son, Jesus Christ.
Vote blue no matter who!
There are people in my area running stores out of their sheds filled with household goods for cheap prices, and police have zero interest in investigating.
because it takes a lot of effort and they will not be prosecuted anyway.
This is hurting the community as a whole. These people should be charged with organized crime.
When you put the devil in charge, don't be shocked when he turns the world into hell.
If you meant Biden then you are correct
Demonrats ruin everything for everyone except themselves.
profound and deep
this applies to all american commies , in my opinion
Facts, Jesus Christ is coming back soon turn to him before it’s too late
Imagine buying stolen goods on Amazon, and then your package gets stolen to get relisted. Only in America.
"thats show biz, baby" ashes cigar on your forehead
😅😅😅😅 true
They replaced the inside with cheaper item 😅. I had experienced it in December order
It's Not Only in America.
it's Only in Deep Blue cities, always with the Usual Suspects.
They're the Privileged Protected class.
They ARE the reason America can't have nice Civilized cities!!
This happens in Blue States. Where We live Everyone has guns. Don't Tolerate Loud mouth strangers here. 1 Amendment 2 Amendment 🇺🇸🌄🐴
Shoplifting is a symptom of the disparity between the uber rich and what used to be middle class workers so many of whom are now living on the streets of our cities because they've lost their jobs and cannot afford to rent or buy.
They could move to other cities or states that have lower costs of living.
I get more information on NYC from watching your video’s than any other news source. You cover the details that the media does not bother to cover - for crying out loud. Cash, you are good.
Did you see Mayor Adams blaming the Texas Governor for NYC problems? He said it with a know-it-all smirk on his face. Unbelievable!
Exactly smirk made me angry plus he won't stay in the shelter to see how it is himself such a hypocrite big clown he thought he was smart with that remark blaming Texas governor
He's part of the problem.. Worse mayor ever.
Oh well. Enjoy your democrat president and his immigration policy. No reason texas should take every illegal.
These are not immigrants, these are too sophisticated who are up to date with the law; these are the same people all over the country who wanted to “Defund the police”.
I bet he's gonna build a chocolate city.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. 98% of the problems America is facing could be stopped immediately. It's all by design.
Exactly!
💯
It could be stopped by voting Republican & Trump
Only in states with gun control and ran by democratic Party have this issue
Vote TRUMP save America
Love it. keep up the good work.
All these corporations spent millions on security, and millions donating to politicians who made their security completely irrelevant.
Americans there could be a dog running down the street and you could be talking about it and you will still find a way to bring politics into it. You are all politics crazy over there. Look dude every Politician on this planet is corrupt and every other citizen from every other nation knows this except for America, hence why we don't bring politics into every damn conversation. It has got nothing to do with who is in power, because none of them actually run your nation, they are all actors.
The irony of the century
Easy to prevent theft. Easy to verify if there are outside forces lobbying for unrest in NY.
I'm from Europe, but I think in USA this is also possible. Not sure why nobody tried doing it yet. Shops that would do it, would break the bank in NYC.
There is something called "certificate of good conduct". This is a way, to determine if someone has any criminal record. It's very likely, that most people who are in that line of "work", also have criminal record.
Team up with local shops, and finance an opt in database for people who have no criminal record. People can register online, and are issued a pass card. You can only enter the shop premise, if you are allowed, and have a card issued. Otherwise, you are considered a trespasser on private property, or even breaking and entering. Consult lawyers how far can they push it, find all ways, legal exploits to bend the law to penalize barging into a shop without a pass and or permission as much it's possible, make a shop a "private club" or some such.
If you are issued a card, and are found stealing, it can be revoked anyway.
Theft would fall on it's face. Shops could afford to make products wayyyy cheaper than shops which have to deal with theft. People would feel safer in those places. Everyone would go shop there ( well, not everyone 😉 ).
People today lost all problem solving skills. Unless government does everything for them, they act hopeless and roll over.
I feel less bad for the corporations and way more bad for the mom&pops that get shoplifted
They're in on it too. Don't worry.
Shoplifting less than 1000 is not a crime? That means free food and supplies forever. WOW! Thank you Mr. Mayor. You got my vote.
They have had the people of NYC's vote for decades and now they get what they deserve. Wonder how bad Trump is looking now? I bet he will look even better when there are no stores left to spend their welfare at.
FOREVER....NO....businesses will close....
cities will be daemonic no go areas....
Right but if a hard working New Yorker falls 999$ behind on rent I bet their life will be turned upside down.
USA is a Joke!!
Im on my way to the store right now
Not discussed:
Shoplifting threatens *profit*, and companies raise prices to protect their bottom line. Perhaps megacorps like Amazon should pay income taxes. That would help the poor, too.
NYC Shoplifter sympathizers will say, "It's for their side hussle." "We're struggling" "It's not my business." "Eat the rich".
They will also say, "I don't why everything is locked up now." "My cousin only takes certain things. Not things like this." "Why was it stolen?! It's not an essential item." "Why did they rob the poor old couple and not a Target?"
This isn't robin hood. This isn't some charity ring. It's people with guns, stealing things to buy either more guns, or drugs. Working people don't have time for this idiocy.
I live in a 3rd world country with malls everywhere, but never have we have news about theft as blatant as this. A shoplift here and there may happen yes, but walking to a store and raiding it? No. This is so out of whack for a 1st world country
same here
See, you're laboring under the impression that the US is still "1st world". We haven't been since 2020.
I've been to developing countries in the better part of Asia and I think its a cultural thing. People don't steal from their community in most of them and the punishment is severe in many cases if one does so. Plus, so many people adhere to a set of values that are sorely lacking in many citizens of the United States.
I say once they get arrested , they should send them back to whatever hole they came out of.
Because it is "1st world country" for its high cost of living, not civic ethics!
Part of reason why cities like Tokyo are so incredibly safe is because their laws against small crimes are harsh af.
no. they are safe cities because theyre culturally cohesive.
@@user-mc8xt1iq7c There are many multicultural cities in the world like Dubai or Singapore, that have extremely harsh laws when dealing with small crimes which is why there is no virtually no stealing or, problems like people being punched on the streets and subways. The problem is America has a problem with certain political ideologies amongst certain communities that have not understood the impact of implementing theoretical leftist academic propaganda on the ground.
@@user-mc8xt1iq7c "Part of the reason" - But yes, that is true too. I'm speaking from experience of being there multiple times. You literally see 5 year olds walking around the city completely by themselves, going to school and running errands. Plus the streets are squeaky clean, despite it being a mission to find a public trashcan. They are taught from an early age to respect their elders and to clean up after themselves - including recycling, which they take seriously.
A quick google search on "shoplifting in japan" will give an idea of how they handle small crimes.
@@shyamapple9060 name me one foreigner in the government in singapore, or dubai.
ill wait
and what kind of hypocrisy are you on about???? multiculturalism IS leftist academic propaganda.
I think it’s also their culture. They operate on the honor code which could never happen here. If I recall correctly they have a whole ramen shop that has no employees. You grab and make your ramen then you pay but here in the states, all the ramen would be stolen or people would simply walk out without paying.
The major shoplifters are the worker, they are very organized.
Please complete this article with:

It's all by design. This stuff isn't happening for no reason.

The libs want crime to be out of control so they can bring in a national police force. Before you say "conspiracy theory", remember Obummers first term - he said he wanted to do away with local police forces and have a national police force under federal control.
lol this is what you get with leftist politics and voting democrat.. have fun .
Research who's funding NGOs like IsraAid.
One store in NYC has eliminated shoplifting. B&H photo. You cannot carry any bags in at all, no hoodies, no oversized jackets. And, to get out, you have to be buzzed out of the store. If you buy something you have a pickup area to claim your purchase. Then you can claim anything you carried or wore into the store.
That is going to be the future of retail, where nothing is on a shelf at all.
That works great for a store like B&H where customers are only going in for a few items at most. This would never work for stores like grocery stores.
@@theripper121you will have to have them delivered and the selection will be government approved.☠️
@@saythankyou111 and they are only here to help and I will like it...
I just went into B&H with a bag last week. Actually, nearly every time I have been into B&H I’ve had a bag. They’ve never stopped me
Beards&Hats
This also results in a low supply relative to a stagnant demand, which gives the retail stores the incentive to deliberately increase the prices of their wares to compensate for the losses that have been generated by theft.
Thank you for showing me how ALDI gets their food.
41 people arrested. EVERYONE OF EM were released in time for dinner.
Most likely
Diner? Lunchtime...
7 felonies won't even keep you in jail over night in NY.
The real question is what did they have for dinner? 🤔
Probably arrested again 2 hours later, then arrested again later that night.

Que Dr. Chaos laughing

Hey, let’s make gun laws more strict in NY too…this would lower shoplifting and violence.
Not!!
your home becomes a jail for fear of going out or going to work, out to eat, leaving your car parked. enjoyment becomes anxiety......that's not good for society.
the ideal 'society' changes depending on who you ask
That’s the plan !
Anarcho-tyranny.
Not if you get a gun and wear it whenever you go out
This is why government is backing up EV vehicles; they have low milage range. They want us to stay close to home. 'Covid' was part of the test - and it was successful.

Who would have thought that decriminalizing crime creates more crime.

Ease of resale is a big component of this. Supply and demand covers criminals as well as honest folks.
Escape from New York isn't an 80's dystopian drama movie. It's a reality show.

Thanks Gramps for leaving us with hell on earth. I’m sure our suffering won’t compare to your sadness though
@@XeenimChoorch-nx8wxI hope you're being sarcastic . . .
Shoplifting is conducive to the most complete digitalization of retail. Plus, digital commerce is much better for the weather a hundred years from now. Our heads of government will first ask Uncle Klaus in Davos before they do anything that protects existing structures. It can be so easy. Greetings from Germany 🙂🇩🇪🤝
Not punishing criminals is like protecting and encouraging criminals.......... This can't run in long run
CEO's of the major Dept store chains admitted they are downsizing stores because 68% of sales are ONLINE and RENTs are way too high.
Those companies screwed up by not purchasing property from cities at half price 25 years ago.
1 - NOW retail rents are an average of $75,000+ a month
2 - Internet sales are outpacing in store sales by 65%+ at ALL of their retail locations.
3 - Shoplifting via PUBLIC accounts for .05% to .23% of National Losses
4 - Shoplifting via EMPLOYEE THEFT accounts for 15% of National Losses
Employees steal more than Shoplifters

Cyberpunk dystopia? You’re living it.
With shut stores the city will become deserted, i haven’t been to ny for years but I certainly wouldn’t now, thanks for the heads up
Why spend money on cops , jails, judges or the whole Judicial System if they are going to just let criminals go?
I think the point is just to spend money… to keep those people employed.
Because these cops judges and lawyers need money.
So the govt can keep persecuting and prosecuting their political rivals.
The purpose of cops is to terrorize the population and protect the elite.
RUclips auto deletes every comment with substance I've never seen such a corrupt trash platform
The only reason the government of NYC would NOT approve harsh laws to deter shoplifting, is because these officials are getting paid to allow the crimes.
Dang what are they going to do if they start invading their homes this is so sad that they have let it come to this all because of hatred for one man.. unbelievable for the wrath of God is he probably will not have no mercy for that and it shouldn't be

First they said Gotham was inspired by Chicago and New York and now the only thing absurd here is that Batman doesn't exist in the real world.
NYC is worse than Gotham ever was...
Gotham is based on Newark New Jersey not NYC
Even if Batman existed in the real world, he could not stop this kind of crime wave by himself. It would take a team of Batmen covering every retail location statewide. In the movies crime conveniently occurs in one location at a time allowing the hero to show up and take out the bad guys. In the real-world crime occurs in every city across the state. Even Superman could not handle it all as he can only be in one place at a time. While he is busy at Target, the Wal-Mart two blocks away is getting hit.
@@RellupNorthit’s actually based on New York, it was only in the new joker movie they used parts of Jersey to emulate time square because it resembled the old New York Time run down time square. But Gotham was certified to be New York.
@@1977TA Yeah, a single gadget-bound vigilante on steroids being a one man army is ludicrous. More than one of them is necessary AND they would have to make the ringleader(s) their primary objective, not cleaning the streets (ignoring if necessary). However, hydras always grow their head back.
My cousin is a States Attorney for NY. He said the work he does is so frustrating! The criminals will be booked, released & then 90% off them don't show up for court.
Are warrants issues for them when they don't show?
Why TF would they come to court knowing they'll be arrested and tried for the crime while you have laws protecting them at the same time. 😂
Sad, but that’s the truth and the reality. Just like what one of your viewers stated, New York City, got what they voted for. 😢😢😢

If settings traps to protect your property and merchandise was legal,there would be way less of everything going on guaranteed.
Flawed laws, flawed gov, flawed president, flawed youth, America who wants to go there, nobody!! just feel for the honest people there.
A congressman in San Francisco is trying to pass a law against stores. The grocery stores have to give 6 months' notice and have another grocery store to take their place. It's amazing that they don't address the problem of shoplifters but blame a store for leaving.
I'd give them the finger then leave the state. They have zero authority to enforce that law! Its unconstitutional
Is SF TRYING to make themselves a food desert? Cause that is one HELL of a incentive to NOT be in business there
Easy just keep your shelves empty in San Fran
Give six months notice to who? The government? Pretty sure that’s unconstitutional.
Besides what are they going to do if a store chain pulls out of SF? Arrest the CEO in Ohio or wherever?
Inflation + lack of minimum wage increase = middle class become poor , the poor get poorer , and the rich get rich aka Macy’s, target, Whole Foods. all these inflation risen corporations !
So sorry of if I don’t feel bad for these millionaires and billionaires that are destroying this country with inflation and our government not raising federal minimum wage to atleast keep up.

They are. They're called "politicians".
@@pretikewl76 I agree.

Your right. Democrats
It's Los Angeles, not NYC, that's had the highest rate of retail theft since 2018. After that, the list goes: San Fran, Houston, NYC, Seattle, Atlanta, Sacramento, Denver.
Approx. 22 states have a petty theft amount of $1,000, like NY. Others are a little higher/lower.
The crime of Petty Larceny in NY has a sentence that could include probation, fines, or jail time.
In May 2023, NY mayor Eric Adams announced a more comprehensive plan to combat retail theft.
Ten days ago, on April 18th, NY Governor Kathy Hochul announced new initiatives to crack down on organized theft rings, protect frontline workers, and give new felony penalties.
Currently in vietnam.
Shoplifting and violent street crime are almost unheard of.
The politicians refuse to do anything that would harm their precious criminals
I doubt they can do anything
it's female politics. it's the same mentality that makes them write to heavy offenders in jail. it's a fetish.
*_Politicians and criminals are one and the same - just like the Biden administration._*
That’s not the problem… it’s that prisons are already filled up to the max. Too many evil men… that’s the real problem.
lol this is what you get with leftist politics and voting democrat.. have fun .
And the city leaders think suing the stores and forcing them to stay makes more sense then just being hard on crime.
Yup, and then blaming the stores for being racist.
from a simple mathematical perspective it would be cheaper to take the hit from a lawsuit and gtfo than it would to stay.
Vlad uhhhh we kinda need you in NY
Chill, dude. I'd watch your stuff if you'd relax.
Some Portland locations are putting up a fence 8 ft from the front door. Sure your welcome to come in and talk to the guard, but if you intend to harm or steal then your not getting through the fence

So you don't go and see for yourself, but just believe the clickbait videos. Look up actual stats. Crime is not actually that bad in most of New York. It's fine, especially in the tourist areas. It looks nothing like what Fox "news" shows you.
Oh no guys, @Ragnar009 is bothered! 🙄
Yep me too!
i used to live in NYC. Went there two years ago, entered the Walgreens I used to go in Manhattan (a store that was usually very crowded). The store was pretty much empty and I saw most of the merchandise locked up. I was not aware of what was happening and asked the staff about it. They unlocked the product and apologized for the situation. The staff looked sad, frustrated, like waiting for the store to be closed forever.
I was in a Mexican resort town 30 years ago. One thing I noticed on high end little shops, was the Security: You came up to the front door and there was a no-nonsense Guard standing by the door with a full Auto Riot ShotGun on his shoulder. He was very nice but the look he gave was , enjoy your shopping, but if YOU STEAL, it will be your last theft. Works for Mexico, why not here.???
Yep.. was in the Rambla, Barcelona Spain 1975...they were on most all corners, full auto machine guns ...Not much trouble there ! ! !
The law punishes you for protecting yourself or your property here. That's why it doesn't work.
A “full auto riot shotgun”?! In all my years using and maintaining firearms, I’ve never seen that type of weapon.
@@DogBeast221they probably just meant some mag-fed shotgun bro
@@bonapetite5087 “full auto”?!
I used to think the same way as you Jordan, about throwing people in jail for every possible crime. But then you realize that you have to pay for the person who is in jail/prison. You essentially move them from being partially subsidized by the people who choose to shop at the store or accidentally buy stolen merch online, to being completely subsidized by your tax dollars. Secondly, once the person is thrown in prison for a felony level offense, they are essentially unemployable in this country, at least at most establishments. So now not only created a tangible cost to physically imprison this person, created a social cost that this man is now removed from the workforce while in prison.
And created a secondary social cost that this person now has a higher chance of becoming a career criminal after prison. Because if they cannot make ends meet by getting a traditional job. They are going to make it somehow.
Do you believe in personal accountability?
Me from outside of america cant understand the stupidity of American lawmakers to decriminalized shoplifting.🤔
The important thing to realize is that the system is not failing. Its succeeding. This is not a bug. Its a feature.
It's intended as they wanted.
There a reason why NYC act like they do.
They want it
Exactly!
They want to completely DESTROY NYC... this way they can stay in Power forever... just like every other Liberal City Sheit Hole in the Country ..
A evil " elite ," feature 😢
all the business need to file lawsuits against the city
On the good side, I was at our local gas station yesterday. The single employee had to use the bathroom, leaving the store wide open. People waited - impatiently - at the counter. No one stole anything! But, I'm about 350 mile from NYC, so...
bro just cuz no one is watching doesn’t mean a person will commit theft or a bad person 💀there’s normal people bro not everyone is a criminal
Sounds like a white area
😄
@@BARBARYAN. jajajajjaaj, but you're right bud. gotta admit sounds like a white people area.
@@BARBARYAN. you are full of yourself and self righteousness. white people commit crime for the same reasons. people are struggling.
Also when I agree the stealing is wrong, there is no excuse for it. But it cost just as much and if not more to lock these people up for shoplifting. The major problem is that the laws that are on the books are not being enforced AT ALL. These people feel they can come in and just steal with impunity. Never get arrested. Since there is no enforcement, there essentially is no law. If these people were getting arrested and getting criminal records that had increasing penalties and counted against them on the books the level of crime would decrease significantly.
I wholeheartedly agree with the gentlemen that increasing penalties is not going to decrease the crime. When the problem is enforcement of the law.

@thentil what exactly did Trump do or plans to do that's worse than legalizing theft? Did he legalize murder or smth?
@@med2904 Nope, the greatest crime of all:
Mean Tweets :(
@@med2904 This isn't Trump's doing at all. This is all Biden and the Democrat Party members!!!
@@thentilthis has nothing to do with the president. These are local laws. Florida and Texas are fine.
You get what you deserve NYC. You voted for this! Have fun!
1 word: corruption. Voting does nothing when corruption is rampant
WE CERTAINLY DO! I am done defending my city. The dipshits who run it have are clueless!

@@Kongeriget_Danmark But when you vote for soft-on crime politicians and city officials and don't pay attention to their politics it is hard to feel bad for people
@@jacksonadams4728both political parties are extremely corrupt. One party is authoritarian while the other party is pro-criminal. The US desperately needs a 3rd political party like every other developed country has
Politicians are mostly to blame for this. A crook is a criminal and should be charged and jailed accordingly.
Just like Oakland California all store have left,and they are wondering why there's no JOB.
This is no accident. It's happening all over the country and people are not connecting the dots.
👍🏼
Probably because companies pay peanuts.
Also, if everyone got the “skills” for a good paying job, then you would have to be competitive. You can only have so many skilled workers until it becomes too many.
Yep progressive Democrats have a political Rico going on nationwide to redistribute wealth while trying to put the man in jail trying to stop it.
I’ve said it all along. This is by design.
Mainly Democratic states... there, are the dots connected?
I love living in a state that doesn't prioritize criminals over law-abiding citizens.
Me too! I live in Florida where they prosecute criminals.

@@box2519 you'll find him down in the courthouse today .
I am a retail manager in Toronto, sadly we have the same stupid policy which encourage thieves.
Remember when kids “Shoplifting” meant stealing a Candy Bar? And if your Mother caught you she sent you back to PAY FOR IT!
I was a manager at an auto parts store when 2 gang members targeted us. i tried to block the door and ask for the stuff back but they just assaulted me. I tried to fight back. Thats when the one guy went for his gun. I had to fight for my life unfortunately the robber died in the process, now im facing a murder charge 41 years. These guys were high on fentanyl and had just been let out of jail a few days before, for multiple other felony aggravated robberies and fleeing from police. Why didnt the law protect us?
That is self defence ! You most get out of there innocent !
That’s why you don’t defend your workplace like it’s your home doofus
@@mariuquidiello Try proving it these days
Anarco tyranny thanks to the Democrats
I've been there too, different but the same, I'm a felon now, bullshit so called justice system.
Meanwhile police are busy collecting civil law suits like Mario collecting coins.
Society is on the brink of madness. Myself I have no problem earning what I need.
I’m head of security at a large hotel . I have also worked undercover loss prevention and I can tell you that stopping theft while it’s happening works . Thieves don’t want drama so when you cause them drama they go somewhere else . That’s a fact .
You'll lose your job these days
What happens when they go into the store with the drama? That's what I'm seeing these days
You do better reporting than ABC, CBS, and NBC on making people aware.
The problem with any crime is that if an inch is given to relax the law, a mile is taken of advantage in that relaxed law. In the past a person could lose their hand for stealing, or their life. Still a thing in some countries and crime is low in those countries.
