NY Assemblywoman Who Represents Shoplifters

Another good reason the Democrat Socialists cannot be allowed to win in November. Meet the charming Emily Gallagher, who somehow got elected to the NY State Assembly and who thinks that stealing is a human right.

When I asked a clerk at my CVS why rows of products were behind lock and key, she told me that every week, groups of thugs would come in and brazenly and quickly steal whatever was on the shelves. The police couldn't respond in time to arrest them.  So the store had to lock up the products or continue to lose money. Obviously, these gangs must also have a so-called "biological need". 

I have a strong biological need to vote Republican this November!

Woke Brooklyn lawmaker suggests shoplifting should be LEGALIZED because thieves have 'biological need' for the things they steal

"A progressive New York City lawmaker says shoplifters should be left in peace to steal items like toothpaste and soap.

"Emily Gallagher - a Democrat Socialist member of the New York State assembly - shared a clip on her X account that also villainized drugstores, which have been forced to lock products in plexiglass cases because of rampant theft.

"Gallagher wrote that 'no one should be arrested - much less jailed' for stealing toothpaste' and said in a speech that such thefts were just 'crimes of poverty.'

"Speaking at an event, she continued: 'People who were stealing things like toothpaste, people who were stealing things like soap. 

"'And that means if you're stealing those things, you need them.

"'And we are choosing to protect billion dollar companies like CVS and Walgreens over the people who are struggling to get by.'

"Gallagher represents NYC's District 50, which comprises the wealthy Brooklyn neighborhoods of Williamsburg and Greenpoint.

"Many residents of New York and other big cities have complained that soft-on-crime policies such as those pushed by Gallagher have worsened their quality of life. 

"The drug store chains she sought to villainize now lock tens of thousands of everyday products in cases, which can only be opened by staff forced to endure regular abuse and anti-social behavior.

"But Gallagher was unrepentant and continued:  'I would say that the true crime is that there is such incredible wealth disparity in this city.

"'That there are people who can be thrown in jail simply for having a biological need.'

"Gallagher said she would push for 'treatment not jail' punishments."
