- Conservatives on social media ridiculed New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ new proposal to combat shoplifting and crime at retail stores throughout the city.
- The Democrat mayor’s plan, laid out in bullet point format during a local Fox 5 broadcast, included providing “De-escalation training for retail employees,” and putting kiosks in stores that connect “would-be thieves” to social service.
Notice, the very first part of this Democrat Mayor's response to soaring shoplifting losses in NYC is to lessen punishment for first-time shoplifters. (He might as well provide first-time shoplifters with bags they can use to carry stolen merchandise out.) https://t.co/BxwaXjafTy
