NYP: Retailers across New York state say there’s no end in sight to the rising epidemic of organized shoplifting rings — and warn it could lead to more store closures, increased costs for consumers and threats of violence against store employees.
Store owners said they lost $4.4 billion last year as a result of retail theft — which they say adds to the urgency for Gov. Kathy Hochul to crack down.
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.
Hochul rejected a proposal that would have created a 15-member panel made up of experts appointed by the governor, Legislature and the state attorney general that would have put together a list of recommendations to respond to retail theft.
The Retail Council of New York State, the Albany-based lobbying group which represents retailers statewide, said it was “extremely disappointed” by Hochul’s veto. more here

Your racial healing update:
There are 29 Shoplifting Days until Kwanzaa!
Responsible, patriotic, God loving New York conservatives, I’m so sorry to see this. Democrats and communists, you deserve this. Ass holes.
“…put together a list of recommendations to respond to retail theft.”
Recommendation one – arm shotgun shells with course rock salt
Recommendation two – turn off all surveillance cameras and jam all mobile devices
Recommendation three – fire when appropriate
Recommendation four – “sorry officer, I saw nothing, I know nothing”
Don’t forget how many people used Amazon rather that take a trip past the Homeless, Drug addicts, & looters.

america’s biggest problem: too many jungle-, sand-, robe-, lawyer- politician-, fag/homo/transit-, illegal alien- n’s. blow me.
Why does New York need another do-nothing panel of experts? Arrest the perps, give them a quick trial and jail them. Repeat offenders receive stiffer sentences.
The liberals have succeeded in destroying the family unit in lower income/minority neighborhoods, and now retailers (among others) are paying the price with out of control crime. New York cannot act as a nanny state, so arrest and jail is about the only other alternative. It’s not rocket science.
