The Big Apple is in a state of rotting from the inside out, as crime waves across the city are devastating small businesses, who continue to be robbed by thieves who know they will receive no punishment.
District Attorneys in New York City – who have been bought and paid for by Globalist agitator, George Soros – are relaxing their policies to the point criminals have no fear of prosecution, as DA’s have done away with bail and they will be let out as soon as they are processed by police.
Crimes are being committed in broad daylight and have steadily escalated since the covid pandemic started.
Thanks to New York City’s former Mayor, the feckless Bill de Blasio and alleged serial groper, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s ridiculous and tyrannical covid lockdowns, restrictions and mandates, small business owners were already struggling to get by.
Now the crime wave is just finishing them off.
One downtown boutique owner has continuously been targeted by shoplifters, who are essentially robbing everyone blind because of the lack of enforcement.
The New York Times reports:
Someone shattered the front door overnight and ripped out the cash drawer. The new security gates cost $2,300. The streets became quieter after four neighboring businesses closed permanently during the pandemic, emboldening shoplifters. Two security guards quit.
For Deborah Koenigsberger, who has worked in retail for three decades, keeping her two clothing stores open in Manhattan’s Flatiron neighborhood has never felt so exhausting.
“As small businesses, we are getting creamed right now in so many ways,” Ms. Koenigsberger said. “I might as well leave my store door open and say, ‘Help yourselves.”
The New York Times, however, blamed the pandemic for the crime wave – not the policies that were put in by New York’s radical Democrats:
Her shops are among businesses in New York City grappling with a rise in crimes that has cascaded from the disruptions of the last two years. The pandemic exacerbated job losses, mental illness and drug abuse, which law enforcement officials and business owners say has contributed to increasingly brazen behavior from people walking into neighborhood stores, from shoplifting to assaults.
It wasn’t covid or drugs or mental illness that caused the crime wave, it was the DA’s refusing to do their jobs, and causing further chaos.
Newly elected Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, as reported by the New York Post, his “Day One” memo to all assistant DAs “directs prosecutors to drop some misdemeanor cases, not seek bail or prison time for most defendants and to downgrade certain felonies to misdemeanors.”
Of course, New Yorkers were not at all happy about the directive and Bragg eased back on his soft on crime approach as a result. With the destruction that has been seen in NYC for the past two years and the years of steady decline before that, it’s amazing that Democrats keep being voted into office.
In a separate report, The New York Post reported:
Embattled Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg reversed a pair of his most controversial policies in writing on Friday with a new memo calling for commercial robberies committed with knives to once again be prosecuted as felonies.
Bragg’s memo to staff also said that holding up a store or other business with a firearm “will be charged as a felony, whether or not the gun is operable, loaded, or a realistic imitation.”
Petty crimes are not at the top of the list of priorities, so small businesses are still suffering because of these policies.
NY State Senator Gustavo Rivera said, “Communities are safer when they have more resources, not when they’re over policed,” of course not elaborating on what these resources would be. It seems more police may in fact be the more prudent approach.
Soros is a scumbag…He is just like that other JEW Zuckerberg! Why do these folks think they know everything. Everything these two lanzmen have killed the conservitive vote,stole votes,counting dead people,s votes. Soros goes after the lawyers who want cash to do his bidling.

To you people in New York city. This is your fault! You are the ones who VOTED FOR THIS! You rather live in the dump than show that you are intelligent to care for yourself! That no different than what you see everyday! Just like it in SOMALIA AND OTHER PART OF AFRICA. You are to dam lazy to make money for yourself! But you choose the path that will either kill you or you kill someone else! By the way remember this —- THE AFTERLIFE IS REAL! AS IS HADES! But you letting those EVIL people treat you as their SLAVES!
Leftist are just dumb people! George Soros was A NAZI BLACK COAT in the HITLER ARMY! If you fools didn’t know that. You should had learned history! Before the second World War, Hitler wanted to kill every one that was not HIS SUPPORTERS! That including HOMOSEXUAL AND JEWS, OTHER FOREIGN PEOPLE. Hungary has a BOND ON HIS HEAD FOR 1 MILLION DOLLARS DEAD OR ALIVE!
Sorry ass Soros the Nazi, is wanted ( arrest warrants) in Russia & Hungary. Why the U.S. has protected his Nazi ass all these years is anyone’s guess. The Scumbag needs to be extradited to one of those country’s. Why is justice for those country’s being thwarted by the U.S. Gov.? The U.S. would be better off with the cockroach GONE!
