Governor Kathy Hochul is celebrating a bill that allegedly increases protections for retail workers. Hochul said people thought no one cared about them, but she assures us they do. According to her, crime is down.
“Here in New York, we are standing up to organized retail theft, backing our businesses and their workers with the full force of the law, and restoring that sense of security and peace of mind so they can focus on what they do best,” Hochul said.
Are people falling for this?
The bill increases criminal penalties for anyone who assaults a retail worker. There are also tax credits available for business owners to install security cameras, and $40 million is being spent on dedicated retail theft teams.
The Changes in Land of the Woke
- Prosecutors can once again combine the value of stolen goods.
- You can’t beat up retail workers any longer and just get a ticket. It is now back to being a felony if they cause physical injury.
- What good are cameras when thieves are immediately released from prison? They won’t likely even be arrested.
- Forty million will be spent on underfunded departments to set up dedicated Retail Theft Teams within State Police, District Attorneys’ offices, and local law enforcement, including 100 New York State Police personnel dedicated to fighting organized retail theft.
In New York City alone, shoplifting has occurred in almost every grocery store. Sixty percent of those are burglarized every day. That’s just grocery stores. Anything you want to buy in New York City is more expensive than anywhere else because of theft, and it’s behind locked cases.
She needs to get rid of bail reform, but she won’t do that.
If you can stomach it, she will explain in a word salad of adjectives how much our dear leaders care about us here in New York. She wants people to believe that the crime wave is because they clamped down on more serious crimes. Listen for just a minute, but have a barf bag handy.

When Hochul has Soros DA’S that won’t indict actual criminals but releases them to continue being being repeat offenders and career criminals. Lots of empty words is all we get out of politicians these days.
She questioned Lee Zeldin during the last election for being overly concerned about crime . . She’s a phony!
The sad objective reality: the toughest laws mean nothing, when there is no prosecutorial follow-up.
The governor offers her subjective reality (crime is down) as her guarantee she is a good person an love the workers.
Hopefully they can see through her lies, but as she is a disciple of the Devil who is the Father of lies and a liar and murderer from the beginning, she like her ‘father’ ill deceive many!
