City Comptroller and mayor candidate Brad Lander’s suddenly worried about the crime wave he has helped cause.
He wants retailers such as Duane Reade to be able to use a camera system of the Big Broer-Type to report shoplifters to the police, of which Lander thinks there can be enough theft to unlock the toothpaste.
Wait, isn’t that racist? We thought that Lander and his peers saw shoplifting as a crime driven by poverty, what makes the persecution of white supremacy?
Why would he ever want to report it to the Eeeevil, fascist agents?
Oh, precisely: because he wants to be desperate.
And even Lander – slow as it is – has Finally Got the message that Gothamites are sick of crime and disorder.
Don’t buy it.
This is the same man who has been lying for years about the consequences of the disastrous no-bail legislation (and other reforms of criminal law)).
Take his acclaimed claim, for example, that only 1% of people who were arrested for a violent crime was re-imposed after they have been examined on their own recognition: a further consideration of the figures shows that in fact two-thirds-two-dearer! – Of such people who were cut separately in the suburbs and the Upstate who had a recent earlier arrest, were arrested again within two years.
Because crime is mainly powered by hardcore recidivism, it is not a shock that the general results of the long loved one have lander Since 2019, an enormous increase in all crime categories in the city.
And of course his turn of eleventh hours to “defending public safety” is still still thin sparrow: only cameras will make the toothpaste safe-ew York still needs a legal system that makes it difficult to get the perps difficult, and Lander’s not demanding That.
The good news for New York is that the mayor campaign of Lander is only diving, the same as the other progressive candidates: the voters are sick of this blather.
So this specific pompous hypocritical has therefore spoke at least from every future in local politics.
