- Shoplifting is up 64% in NYC over the last 4 years. Stores are closing and nobody seems to have any answers... but the governor has plans to throw $45 million at this tragic problem. Will it work?

Who would've thought not punishing people for shoplifting would have consequences.
In Saudi Arabia or Kuwait etc it's an islamic justice system so their hands would be ch*pp*d, this is why we NEVER have ANYONE stealing ANYTHING
EXACTLY !!!! and tootsie is an IDIOT
Democrats
Leftists Dystopia coming your way..
Those shoplifters are going deeper into sin. I pity what they will say when they stand before Christ!
Who would have thought you’d get more crime when you decided to not enforce the law and refuse to punish crime. A true head scratcher.
Been that way for decades. I remember the prison barge. The change was self serve checkouts.
Yes. Almost counterintuitive, huh?
I’ve never seen anything like that it’s crazy. I live in Massachusetts I grew up in a high crime area. I no longer live there thank god but I don’t remember it ever getting THAT bad with theft. This is bold no fucks given
@@catsupchutneyNo it has not. Stop lying.
Reparation... criminal's lives matter...
Once enough of the stores shut down and people aren't able to purchase basic necessities, then I expect these criminals will move on to robbing people's houses and home invasions will likely skyrocket.
Thanks Professor
i think so to. crime never really stops unless people make it stop; either the government or the people. but i hear NYC has anti firearm laws... so i guess the job of criminals is no matter what easier because of politicians. truly a sad situation...
They will scream racism first.
will they sing the black national anthem before they start?
It's going to be so annoying
New York, a place where they charge you for "crimes" without victims and don't charge you for crimes with victims.
not new York, Democrat's states. In LA the same going on.
Just imagine the same guys in Texas😂😂
In UK it's the same. My ex was a victim of a crime in her own home. There's camera evidence and witnesses plus hospital records. She's waited over 6 months for a charging decision. The court system is backlogged, and no spaces in prisons. So people are getting away with very serious crimes.
$45 million "effort" to stop retail theft - but they still won't arrest and punish criminals... ridiculous waste of taxpayer money
because it will try to push cashless
Ironically it was probably cheaper to pay the Mafia for protection than paying the government.
@@filmaker256 Absolutely, there's definitely a hidden agenda over here.
Thats nothing compared to what goes to Ukraine and Israel. And no media ever told us what we will get from sending all those money there. How will it benefit us?
The mafia provided better protection than the NYPD.
Imagine working at one of the stores that left due to theft and knowing the reason you lost you job was the thieves. They not only stole merchandise, they stole your job.
“THEY TOOK YER JERB”
They took ourrrrrr jobbbbbsssssss
@@knightowl8393should have read this first lol
they took my jewb
They took our jerbs!!
This is by design.
Insurance policies will skyrocket, property prices will fall, and the 1% will benefit immensely
So in other words, a conspiracy
@@maxmikester8185 A conspiracy is just an agreement to work towards an end. Most things in life involve a conspiracy.
They benefit whether we follow the law or not!
That would mean this was caused by rich corporations. Bububut...its gotta be the poors fault...somehow!
I was with you till the last point. How do the 1%, I assume you mean the rich, benefit from having their property values, where much of their money is invested, go down? How do they benefit from having their stores close? How do they benefit from having insurance companies leave the state the way it is here in CA?
Why are they blurring out the thiefs? Why protect their identity?
'cause they blacks.
Agreed. Whether they are minors or adults, once you commit these kinds of crimes, you forfeit your right to privacy. Big difference between a kid swiping a candy bar and these crazy rush in and grabs.
If they showed their faces they might be able to catch them, we cant have that. Keep borders open with directions on how to loot.
The unfortunate thing is politicians will say those thieves stealing designer bags are desperate and poor .
AOC says they stole those Gucci bags to sell for bread because they are hungry.
AOC said they’re stealing bread to feed their families
When every thief is Aladdin…
They'll blame it on DJT
I love seeing you comment on these random videos I watch lol
NYC laws are so relaxed for criminals, but very tight for law-abiding citizens who want to protect their assets. This is just sad!
Yep. If you’re a law abiding citizen NY treats you like a criminal if you want a gun. If you constantly steal you are treated as nothing should happen.
Well thats why people have left they wont just stay here when policies are messed up
Democrat Policy Failure.
I have to state the obvious!.......This is what the city voted for 🤷
they should not have relaxed, around bl*cks
I worked at a department store as security, they actually gave a customer 50.00 because they said they were being followed by security and felt it was harassment. She was a known shoplifter
bullshit
I used to work at the gap as an assistant, and we were told not to restrain shoplifters.
Now you have to see this from the owner and employees POV, as a worker, you get minimum wage to sell items which can take all week to earn, you want us to risk our job, health and or life because someone lifted a pack of $50 boxers? Not gonna happen.
The owner can't or shouldn't do anything because the shoplifter is waiting for a huge payout.
So they hired a 3rd party security company, which even still there's laws against them stopping a thief, like if they steal items for babies, or if it's a woman (although that may have changed in recent years, equality)
But over all its just not worth it, imagine getting shot for trying to stop someone from stealing $38.50 worth of toothpaste!?
I hear you on that. I worked retail security once and after the weekend was up, never again! Not worth the minimum wage to risk getting sued or injured.
To add: That was 40 years ago. It was bad then and has only become worse.
Hate to be crude. I live in NY, Not NYC, the people of NYC asked for this! The definition of insanity, is doing the same thing over and over and over. And expecting a different result. They keep voting for the same party over and over and expect a different result!
Oh I know too. Just the other day they shut down the Indian point power plant, which supplies a very large chunk of their power.
Most people there celebrated it.
you only have two parties!
I was once a brainwashed Democrat too
@@hiskiamartin805 You have two parties, and the NYC made the choice, now living with it. Or dying.
They really should consider making theft illegal.
They really should consider making blacks illegal, and the jews that defend them.
It is illegal
@@JB23669 I don’t believe it.
It's technically illegal, but imprisoning someone for it is racist, apparently.
@@JB23669sarcasm is illegal though
Crazy how New Yorkers vote for this.
They are not crazy they are incompetent, and arrogant. Life is chill in Tennessee
I moved out 10 years ago for a rural area where people take care of each other and are able to take care of themselves. Soooo much nicer than the cesspool of NYC and Long Island I grew up in.
They will blame 🍊 man for this.
Why be surprised ? they voted for zombie Joe 😂 NY is embarrassing ! they fit in with the west woke snowflake coast 😂😂😂
Millions don't vote for this in NY and we still suffer. A red county next to a blue city will live like a blue county because they seep like a sludge slowly outward into all the cracks. If I find a plot of land in Kentucky I can afford I'll get it with everything I have to my name but there it is. Look at the prices now and how much New Yorkers are loosing in savings slowly as opposed to saving like we should be. I know some of the most financially responsible hard working people living in poverty when they shouldn't be. Something needs to change. Hochuls famous debate line of "I don't know why crime is so important to you" to only start deploying soldiers in NYC to do policing work because of....crime. I'm sure that election was handed to her on a plate with a note that said eat up. F king NY man
Imo these countries are far to lenient on crime...when I lived in Malaysia, security guards were armed with shotguns or rifles, and you'd get shot for shop lifting.
Why our countries don't allow security to use firearms?
bruh this is dystopian... I'm glad we don't have it (im from eu) but i believe no one is addressing the reason why people turn to crime in the first place
@@jokubaskristapavicius4586 It isn't. It's only dystopian if you want to do crime otherwise its safer for everyone else.
@@jokubaskristapavicius4586 how it is dystopian? are people in the US in a far worse living situation than those that live in South East Asia, South America, Africa, Russia, that it justifies daily looting of hardworking citizens, who by all accounts also "pay taxes", "insurance", "rent", "inflation of goods and services"..
@stankovic1009 dystopia have many forms, Just because middle upper class is living well, middle class is ok doesn't mean that everyone under the umbrella of working class are okay. The mindless consumerism, surveillance and brutal policing is one of the parts of being dystopian
In certain states if you rob, you risk getting shot. Not in blue states, though. Criminals get legal protection and victims get in trouble for defending themselves.
The result of all this shoplifting scenario will be, that you can get your desired items, be it food, groceries or clothes, only via an automated system (like in vendor machines) AFTER paying the stuff. And this again will make you controllable, as without e-card you won´t get anything.
Oh yeah, good point, they want us to feel unsafe so that they have a reason to increase security and take away more of our rights, put more control on us, video, etc. It's an excuse just like 9/11 was
Yup. Similar things happening in Europe. They get people in hear used to having their hands cut of for stealing and when crime rises, they call for more police, harsher surveilance and sentences. Also suddenly ATMs are getting blown up, of course now they *HaVe To* abolish cash. This absolutely not a plot to establish a tighter grip around people, that'd be a conspiracy theory, perhaps even antisemitism.
(ramble over)
Give the shop keepers back the ability to defend their stores without facing prosecution!
👍👍
Or just go back to regular law and order like everywhere else.
@alvarojneto If only it were that easy. With the criminals coming in mixed with others in the recent mass immigration to NY, the law is seriously outnumbered.
With half the criminals now in the city, no one even knows their real names or history. The justice system needs a serious overhaul to deal with the major changes before the city self destructs/implodes. I mean, people claiming they need asylum, then committing crimes don't need asylum or bail, they need jail until their sentence is served then deported back to the lawless places they came from as clearly the criminal lifestyle is what they want, thats not the kind of city most new yorkers want to live in.
Those standing in the way of resolving the problems need to prove they love their country and do what is right for everyone who made NY what it is.... Well, was...
@@alvarojneto Only if liberals in NYC allowed that
Send New York more illegals
Shoplifting is DOWN 30% in Florida since Jan 2019... and they're converting many types of shoplifting to felonies as of this year (2024). AND they're prosecuting AND sentencing people for it.
weird how actually having consequences acts as a deterrence for crimes.
Republicans 🎉🎉🎉
Call BS on this from reading... down 30%? A thief/thug doesn't care if it's a felony. They won't show up for court and shoplift again...
@@mikeblaz yes but in florida even if they stole a candy bar they dont let them out on a signature bond an hour later, if they dont have $500-$5000 bail to guarantee they will come to court they will sit in jail until they see a judge,
they just passed a law where if social media is used in anyway to facilitate retail theft it will fall under felony organized crime laws,
@@mikeblaz When a state has real bail and doesn't do catch & release, the thieves can't be thieving if they're in jail.
It also doesn't hurt to have some good Sheriffs who support the law-abiding citizens. Collier County will shoot purse snatchers. Both the Lee County & Polk County sheriffs have said on numerous occasions to pew-pew any looters after hurricanes.
They use to do this in the after midnight in ramraids. Now they just have lunch first and go to town after. What sort of law and order is going on America. Shame on your government.
Hey. Listen. I agree with you and I'm open to suggestions.
In Crime & Punishment, it's been studied numerous times & found that, it Doesn't Matter what the punishment for a specific crime is, whether it's a warning, a fine, a custodial sentence, or even a Death penalty. Increasing punishments never deters a crime. The deterrent comes from whether it's likely, unlikely, or certain, that there Will be a punishment for any potential crime. So, for example, increasing the punishment for a crime from 25-Life, up to potential Death penalty will deter nothing, what will be a deterrent is if a perpetrator knows 100% there absolutely Will be consequences to their actions, large or small, if it's certain it'll happen, Then that's a deterrent. It is in essence very simple & straightforward, but politicians & policymakers never want to expend the required resources to ensure this happens, because they're concerned with the backlash of public opinion on the needed costs to implementation.
A higher punishment keeps someone longer of the street. And when back out will think twice before doing it again. The longer he is off the street the saver the street is. It is not just to punish the criminal, but also to protect the citizens and say to the victim that what is done to him is taken seriously and prevent them from taking the law into their own hands (which will happen eventually).
It is not just high punishment or high chance of getting punishment, it is both, the chances of consequences should be high, but if the punishment for mur der is like just a fine it is useless (bit exaggerated but you get the point). For murder punishment should be life. You take a life, you lose your life. And I am talking here about murder in which someone was deliberately out to kill someone. Then there is a 0% of this person doing this again.
For some gangs having served time in prison gives members a higher status, so they don't care about a high chance of punishment if the punishment is to low.
A high punishment is not very useful without a high change of actually getting the punishment (you do have a partial point here), but a high chance of punishment is useless without a punishment high enough to keep them off the street for a while.
Another thing is that people that repeat crimes should have punishments raised each time by a certain percentage (apart from mur der of course, that is end of story and you should be locked up forever). So if you shoplift the first time for something small: people can make a mistake and you could get a relatively mild punishment (like a big fine and paying for the damages), but if you do it a second time it is jail time, third time longer jail time. And if you keep on committing crime you have proven you have given away rights to walk the streets anymore.
Another deterrent is to have people be allowed to defend themselves and their property.
The mayor is as guilty as those thieves!
Well not really. The reform did that. De Blasio and Cuomo. The reform has to change or else no one will get justice.
More like the mayor is friends with those thieves.
It amazes me that the governor wants to throw money at a problem that she is directly part of.
you got to understand....that 45 million will be spent on "programs" that are financial kick backs to her supporters, and the people...they get the bill.
.......so they can skim money right off the top, and then wring their hands, clutching their pearls, not doing a thing while pleading for mo' money. While the city continues to be held hostage.
It’s a common way to siphon money from us taxpayers. Why do you think we have so many problems to battle problems that never get better?
I wonder where she gonna get the money from !!! 😓😓
The governor thinks she is going to use Trump's money to her advantage. Robbing Trump in order to get more money.
Happy to see you expanding past the apartment tours. You have a great narrative style, and quirky sense of curiosity. l saw 50 years of change in the 14th St district--- wish l had bought an apartment there in the 80s.
as a security guard, i dont take high end retail job, but i have taken a few. Most security jobs pay near minimal wage. Guards arent trained to take down people. The main use of a guard is basically so criminals can look at a store with a guard and say "oh they have security, lets not hit this store." but it's well known among criminals that the security arent going to do anything. Also we are told not to intervene. Just observe and report. Also security guards are viewed as disposable ponds, easy to get rid of, call the company, send me another guard. Only thing security companies care about is getting a body on a post, and they pocket most of the money from the contract. Also anyone can get a security license so long as you have like 200$, its on ly a 3 day training.
i live in italy and seeing groceries shops with locked cabinets for ICE CREAMS is insane

Stop blaming politics. Blame the criminal. But they were a crew who had to pass the goods off to someone else. They can't sell it on the streets, maybe selling it online, maybe taking it to the flea market. But there's a fence, someone who employed them.

@@ogapadoga2yes
And the cost of theft is passed on to the consumers, raising prices up to 20%😠
Bail thing is not the issue IMHO . They should not release folks who are most likely to break the law again until their trial comes period. E.g. if there's a high risk of them fleeing or if they are recidivists . It's no new concept. It's implemented in other places where crime rates are much lower.
It's coming to a point where the criminals don't have to run anymore.
More happens to the store owners or victims than the criminals
EXACTLY !! thats WHY tootsie is an IDIOT.
It's already here.

Give it 12 months, and NYC is going to be derelict.😮
I quit a CVS near Times Square partially because the shoplifting was insane. I was a manager so people used to always ask why we had everything in the store locked up, and I would tell them it's because local laws give more power to the criminals, pretty much everyone agreed it was a shame when I told them that. A manager who trained me, older lady in her 60's, probably 100 lbs., was fired after a shoplifter she confronted slapped her in the face twice and she retaliated by kicking him in the leg on his way out the door, I learned very quickly the not even the company would protect it's employees. Theft in general is just rampant in NYC, largely because the consequences for getting caught are a slap on the wrist. Glad I got out.
So the company expected her not to fight back?
No one can protect yourself better than you can! Remember that always fight back!
I’m on my way out.
Good, you got away with your life. I hope that you don't have PTSD from the turmoil.
@@MsRotorwings Yes, because if an employee injured someone, the company would be sued.
Problem #1 with the prices of everything in New York, I’d be stealing too. Problem #2 politicians literally removing criminal penalties for committing crimes, or diminished punishments. People will always be stealing, but if you make it easier they’ll obviously be doing it more. Shop owners aren’t even allowed to defend the merchandise either. New Yorks government has failed its citizens in close to every regard. Why anyone still wants to live there is beyond me.

Managers skimming the till... X amount of shortage allowed... only skim when certain employees work...$ adds up.

The bad thing: Even if multiple stores decide to pack up shop and aren't as widely available, forcing people to drive distances for shopping, its not going to stop theives.
If anything, all this will do is give thieves even more of a reason to mug/steal from people out in public. Even home invasions/robberies will increase as they'll become desperate and bold in their actions.
Here's the catch, If you try to defend your property or your life despite clearly being in danger and threatened, you'll face more time behind bars than all of thieves ever will combined.

Lawlessness
Bro it's a scam to weasel out of rental contracts without paying the penalties for earlytermination. These stores been understaffed for years on purpose to get folk to shoplift and ot didn't work until recently. Get a clue🙄
That’s right my friend, I’m from ny , need to vote for republicans , democrats running a lot of cities to the ground with their stupid laws
Yep the country is about to get very bad because for some reason everyone wants to move here to change it like their country! It makes no sense!
I was reading that in parts of California, if the theft is less than $90 the Thief does not get prosecuted ! …….so that is an invitation to theft .
These stores must only accept orders and like the Burger Bars, the buyer does not enter the shop as the staff will bag the ordered goods and the buyer must pay before the Goods are handed over .
The stuff locked up at a convenience store reminds me of grocery stores in Cuba. Most things locked up, security tags on food and typically security staged both in and outside the stores
US Democrats LOVE socialism. Only the poor are happy.

It's a B thang you wouldn't understand.
Food deserts affect people who aren’t stealing, your comment wants to generalize people of color or lower income. Food deserts affect all people who live in that area, it’s a class issue.

@@jamesbarbello4428 What's it to you. It's a youtube thread. I lived in NYC 33 years (Boston, SanFran prior when it was beautiful) overseas and left as well (8 years ago)
I'm a New Yorker through and through. My families came here with the Dutch West India Company in1627. We left in 1964. I took a transfer back in 1970. Drafted in 1971 came back in 1975 and I was finally able to transfer again, this time to North Carolina in 1979. Once my Grandparents passed in 1984 I never came back and never will.
Shopliftng by schoolkids is rampant in Australia...i oncr saw a kid took.out a bog Toblerone from his shirt after exiting a Coles supermarket in a affluent neighbourhood....
So what we have seen in San Francisco happens here in NYC.
And the employees who try to intervene and get punished by the employer? They lose again once the store closes shop.
Quite a few years back there was a town in California where people rioted, stole from businesses and destroyed the stores.
After that, none of the businesses returned leaving a dead zone. Residents started complaining that they couldn't do any shopping and had to travel 10 miles to the nearest grocery store.
Same thing happened in San Francisco. The court system and law enforcement were overwhelmed by all the shoplifters. So the governor passed a law that people could steal up to $999.99 and it would just be a misdemeanor. No big deal. So businesses started bailing and closing.
Throwing $45 million at the problem isn't going to solve anything.
The problem is societal breakdown.
Morals, ethics, common decency no longer exist.
Leftist Policies. It's what the people in those States voted for, rather unwisely. When they refuse to punish criminals, this is what one gets.
And it's just the beginning... nothing we can do to stop it.
All underlining ramifications, do to liberal leadership.
The governor did not pass that law governor Newsom that is. I’m not sure who thought up this ballot measure, but it was actually called the safe Street and schools act. It was numbered proposition 47 it allowed up to $900 of merchandise to be stolen and classified as a misdemeanor, from what I hear, George Soros and his tribe put in liberal DAs all over our country. These liberal DAs will no longer prosecute misdemeanor crime, since they are more concerned with the color of the person skin who are doing these crimes and the color of the people in the majority in prison, therefore what we have is crime out of control and I myself no longer feel safe and the business I am in in a big city is no longer profitable or safe. We did not vote for proposition 47 as we read the ballot measures before we vote on them, they are considering trying to rework this ballot measure and actively gaining signatures. At the time. It was the population of the state in the majority that actually voted for proposition 47. That is very sad to think that people could be so ignorant I had sign in the windows of my building, where the tenants said, defund the police, I said to one of them who you gonna call when your car is broken into. In our town the citizens cannot even get all the cars that are on the street in front of their house hauled away, they are calling these, Cars Abandoned. The truth is these are not abandoned. These are stolen and in our town we have one of the highest theft rates of cars anywhere and we see it every day, I’m not sure how we are going to get ourselves out of this mess unless we start putting the criminals in prison and jail again. I have talked to some of the people who support the criminals and they think we can rehabilitate them and too many people are in prison, this video shows us exactly what happens when you were do not put criminals in prison. God help us all.
VOTED FOR IT VOTE RED
The same has happened in Oakland, CA. It’s extremely sad that they’d rather close stores instead of keeping thieves in JAIL. Soon every city will look like a ghost town.
Its not they they rather close stores. Its that the judges are irresponsible and keep letting these crooks out on low bonds. Its not the business’ fault for leaving when the same criminals keep coming back
Jail is housing that comes with its own food and expensive security system. It'd be cheaper to give everybody in the city a UBI than it would be to throw them in jail, with a lot of theft being out of need to survive, you'd find that the amount of theft decreases better with less money spent.
Fact is people that want to throw thieves in jail never account for the costs associated with doing so, which is why most places won't do it.
What they think was gonna happen when they open border and invite everyone here on live tv😅 let's go Brandon 🎉
Closing stores is their plan.
Problem is, this is what the people voted for.
has anyone mentioned that security isn't allowed to touch shoplifters in most roles? my bf worked at cvs times square. even with security, the same thieves just come back every single day because no one can do anything and police let them right back out.
So what can security actually do?
Very sad to see our beloved NYC getting slowly ruined / destroyed by so many different problems ! 😢
It is inevitable that if you don’t prosecute and convict theft, that theft will rise. Eventually businesses will leave or just go broke and close.
This is what happens when you have people trying to apply their niche utopian beliefs onto the real world, and when they don’t get the results they expected they double down cause their too prideful to consider their wrong, much like communism
DON'T BUY THE HYPE! This guy is paid by the insurance companies that have to reimburse the stores. Also it's NOT THE LAWS - IT'S THE ECONOMY STUPID! Ask yourselves, "Who benefits from this hard score, one-sided mock reporting?" This guy is worse than any suspect ever was. An ounce of prevention beats a pound of cure -- Strict laws never help.
They said a few weeks ago they're going to sue the companies for closing these poor people they don't have anywhere to go steal
@@chickentoucher55the worst part is that these liberal theories are used to perpetuate these social experiments, and thus the architects of these experiments are never going to admit that they were wrong.
@@chickentoucher55 Exactly. Lefties are notorious for doubling down on failure.
What needs to happen is "no cash bail" needs to be ended, and prosecuters need to actually press charges.
They said bail is racist so is being held accountable just let the criminals do crime it's ok
@@StackinGreene The road to Hell is paved with good intentions. Enjoy your journey.
@Jay.Kellett yea my journey is great and righteous be careful what you wish on others
NY isn't interested in catching or prosecuting criminals.
NYC is a cesspool
You TOO@@StackinGreene
Mayor Eric Adam’s says “it’s insane” but does NOTHING to combat and help the community! So sick & tired of hearing these politicians say they care when it’s apparent they don’t!
Makes me wonder why these high-end stores don't have their own security 🤔
Once again, Mr. Jordan is a better journalist than all of the NYC radio and television reporters combined.
he's great, he gets at the heart of the issue, tries to be unbiased and apolitical. *REAL* independent journalist like this are what we need.
Yes why they don’t do these kind of reports?
And your mom
@@rome2989butt, what about your MILF? savory.
You say it like theres a standard
I almost got arrested since I put treble hooks (three sided fish hooks) under my dashboard of my car. The thief caught his wrists on the treble hooks when he was trying to steal my radio and was stuck for 4 hours. The fire department was called and used wire cutters to remove him from the car. The police officer who lived in our neighborhood was also a victim from this thief, and convinced the other officers that I was justified. Two weeks later the thief was roaming our neighborhood and this time we didn't bother to make a police report, needless to say the thief never visited out neighborhood again!
LOL omg, genius security measures! you literally went fishing for a thief and caught one.
Reminds me of the story a family member told me when back in the 80's he caught a thief stealing his radio. He always tells the story as he was punching his teeth out, then I believe he let the guy go. He always stressed how he was punching teeth out.
I hear you !
Street justice did a better job at combating crime than the actual justice system. Way to go!
That’s awesome 😂
Happening in london Birmingham and manchester too, a further nail in the coffin of high streets 😢
Anyone seen the *1975* Yul Brynner movie "Ultimate Warrior"? It's set in a New York where ALL the shops are closed and people don't go out into the streets. This clip is CHILLING
It hasn’t “begun”, this has been going on for the last several years with that stellar Mayor and DA of yours.
yeah, this is just how cash does all his titles lol
People blame the major but he doesn’t have control over it.
Now the DA does, but mostly it’s the bail law they they absolutely refuse to change. The progressives in the Democratic Party refuse to change the law to adjust when bail is applied.
As Mayor Adam's said '' Its our brand, baby''
Every video title of his starts with 'It Begins....' haha@@MrWil9
the chanel store in washington DC was robbed 4 times the same store, during the day
What exactly is 50 million in taxpayer dollars going to be used for to offset shoplifting if prosecution isn’t enforced. Sounds like a crime itself
Here in Las Vegas, these same types of luxury stores all have Armed Security, and will and have shot robbers before. Surprised NYC doesn’t do the same!
Or longer jail sentence
Some places in NY have armed security but they aren’t allowed to shoot at people for strong armed robbery or smash and grabs situations. The robbers would have to fire or show the weapon in order for security to engage
@@Dtrainabrams I saw them brandish the weapon.
@@belajadevotchka2those guards weren’t armed
NYC is too likely to prosecute the security guards and NOT the criminals
Sadly this is exactly the same across the Atlantic in London. Us law abiding folk are penalised for parking, traffic and car emissions, yet people can seemingly go into stores and take what they want with no comeback. It’s such a sad state of affairs.
Exactly!
That's because you are white and they are not.
Same in Canada.
It's going to get worse. I heard from a friend in Tescos they had to sign an agreement Not to stop shop lifters
@JoSeeFuss sounds bigoted, any evidence for your claims?
Need to limit entry to stores based upon profiles.
'So you're not going to vote for this again, right? ...Right?'
"Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws" -Plato
This country overwhelmingly nurtures bad people.
It’s socioeconomics, poor people do desperate things. If criminals had jobs, they would theoretically not rob people because they would have money.
We don't want people from New York in real America they need to stay there
Unfortunately Laws are meant to keep good people in check. Criminals could care less
Bot or shill?
Leftists cities are incentivizing crimes by passing laws that promote it, knowing it will go up.
@@TheUnholyPosole No it is not. Stop making excuses for those people. We all know they're trying to paint this as 'reparations' when in reality it's simply dishonest people taking what doesn't belong to them and trying to find justifications. These people are ruining society with the help of apologists like you.
Man, I really like your style of reporting and your urging voice about this and other matters that have gotten so far out of the control of authorities. Keep the great work my buddy! And rest asure that this "shopplifting in the noses of authority" problem is becoming the same from Anchorage in Alaska to the Patagonia in Argentina. All the economies and countries are surpassed right now by crimes against the property of common people.
For those questioning why stores dont hire security or why security doesn't do anything it's because NYC laws support the thieves more than the victims. If the thief isnt going to be jailed even if they are armed or harm anyone but if you harm them then you can get sued, there isnt a point in stopping them
Other than a moral compass
And the NYC laws allow illegal migrants to vote in presidential elections.
EXACTLY TRUE DEMOCRATS DID THIS THE criminals DO HAVE MORE RIGHTS THAN YOU NOW. Thats why tootsie is a DUMB DUMB.
ALL FOR U. TAKE IT ALL
I'm pretty sure the entire country knows that all except for new york maybe
Hi, I live in Iceland. It is sad to see the situation, I am very sorry to see this and I pray for you. what are you people going to do about this?
We will send money to Ukraine. Something else no one voted for.
*ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK* wasn't a movie, it was a Documentary.
This already happened in Chicago. 5 Targets closed in downtrodden neighborhoods. The next day, protesters came out en masse to cry racism was at the core of the departure. Then came the videos of 2 targets completely void of wares. The shelves were completely empty. Every single thing was stolen. Then target releaased the books showing absolutely no profit or loss of in those stores for years due to shoplifting.
they cry cuz they idiots
Lmao
and we will have ZERO sympathy for any of the stores that will continue to operate in these areas
Target can take the hit from the stores closing as a whole its a papercut to their profits... but its the small owners thats really tragic...
Also congrats to them for no longer having retailers that go on "Sale" a lot.
Ukraine probably lasts longer under the Russian attack. LOL.
You need to realize that those making the rules are not really impacted by the actions, yet.
We made it through the 80s, we can handle this. ❤NYC

no. nyc needs a mirror. they voted for this. when you let people who beat up cops get a way. you think they will care about minor crimes like shoplifting
More then one
Robocop 😊
Have they considered if some politicians or lawmakers have stakes in online shopping?
Security companies tell the employees not to engage of fear of being fired. Those companies don't want to be sued by the families of employees who have lost lives for stepping up to criminals. Walmart has the same policy. In Texas Walmart hires police for taking criminals into custody.
This is why I refused the offer of working in a corner shop. It's not exactly a safe job. I know what goes on at these places.
Is there any pattern in who's doing the mugging and their identifyable characteristics?
My friend Alejandro was robbed at gunpoint by a tall basketball player. His coworker Kelvin, who is of similar description would unintentionally scare Alejandro when walking into work for a week or two. PTSD is real.
@@TheSquidPro according to the footage in this video half of them are white, so that should give you at least half an idea.
@@yangpaan453So 13% does the other 50%?
Especially when your berated and looked at as a criminal for defending yourself. You know the Main stream media would compare you to Kyle Rittenhouse. Even though he was defending himself from a rabid mob.
Business owner here. These legal theft has caused our Business Insurance to skyrocket.
Before 2020 my Liability insurance was $5k per year. Now I'm paying $18k per year.
To claim insurance you has to make report on thief.
What been stolen, how much, etc.
And price of goods has to be more than 1000$ before margin.
And you need to recount your stocks after every theft, nobody have that much free time. You need dedicated worker for that.
And you need to spot shoplifter. Many of them just take one or two things and go to the next shop. You can't stop them IN the shop, by rules in my company.
I can only politely ask to bye goods, 'coz they isn't stolen, yet. And, after thief leave the shop, i can ask him to get back, pay for stolen items or wait police together with me.
Everything else may be depicted as assault from me!
I agree "this little white purse do not cost my life".
And there is more. Those bandits knew where i work! What stopping them from "talking with me" after my shift ends?
Am i need of this immoral freaks. I don't. But i been assaulted. I been harassed with a knife. We have pepper spray on cash register. In other shop they have tazer.
What's next?

Look also how people are walking and watching this happen on the streets and not stopping them!!
Promote victim hood in a demographic, defund police, reduce or remove punishment….get these results. Who would have thought?!
Who is defending police?
Ironically that's largely republicans who did that
And you have to go to college to get this stupid
@@EllAntares What? It's democrats in power in NY. Last time republican was there the crime was drastically reduced.

The logic of bail is stupid. Shouldn't leave logic to lawyers who struggle with math and science in school.
I'm in Canada & just the other day my son & his friend went to get lunch at a grocery store deli, they were followed in the store. At the checkout the female security guard told the cashier to check out their pockets.. I would of loved to see the dumb look on her face when they had nothing.. I understand that they're teens. While adults walk out w/hundreds of dollars of high end items..
I've witnessed a single woman steal from a grocery store 3 to 4 times a day for over 6 months. Nobody does anything to stop her! On top of that the tax payers are paying for her housing. Just a slap in the face!
Probably an illegal?
This isn't news, it's just late-stage capitalism. Anyone that can't connect the dots between an economic system that is squeezing people for everything they have just to pay rent and being reduced to stealing toothpaste is a clown. Crime increases as wealth inequality increases. If you want to get rid of the crime, you have to get rid of the wealth inequality. I have no patience for people pearl-clutching over people stealing to survive. That position is either ignorant or incredibly privileged, or both. And I don't feel sorry for billion-dollar corporations losing money on it either. If they want stealing to stop, they should charge better prices.
I saw a video where they asked a shoplifter what they do with the goods. They said they take them to Florida and sell them. Asked if they shoplift in Florida and they said no because we will go to jail there.
Can confirm. I can't TELL you how much stolen stuff you'll find at a flea market or "pick a bin / resale / damaged goods" place. Diapers, bags, deodorant, OTC medicines....even unused tires at one or two places. I can't tell you the amount of Wal-mart and Target-branded shoes.
Wow. Sounds like they need de santis to govern them as well. The governor of nyc is disgusting
If people would stop buying stolen goods, there'd be no reason to steal. People complain about the theft but just love paying half price for obviously stolen stuff on facebook marketplace.
What a mess and I am afraid it will only get worse. What happened America? How can law enforcement just stand by and watch...
I dont live in nyc but when i worked at home depot you werent allowed to stop thiefs or look at them or talk to them. If you did youd get fired. Seen it happen too. The homeless caught on amd we were (assume still are) getting robbed 4 to 5 times a day. Mostly tools and copper wire and pipe
