I don't for one minute doubt that these ridiculous laws are being passed for one reason and one reason only: To destroy the city, and it's not just NYC, it's others as well. The lawmakers who think it's "inhumane" to put non-violent criminals behind bars are the ones who should be in prison!
You have to watch the entire video to see what lengths businesses are going to to try and protect themselves, but when thieves do things like use a blowtorch to access locked up merchandise and the stores can do nothing about it, well...it's clear that society is on the verge of collapse.
