ItAs her astealA of approval.

A Brooklyn socialist lawmaker declared this week that shoplifters have
a right to swipe items like soap and toothpaste from local stores
without getting busted u because of their obiological needo for the
products.

State Assemblywoman Emily Gallagher strongly suggested shoplifting
should be legalized while joined at a news conference outside
Manhattan Criminal Court on Thursday by other lefty pols and criminal
justice advocates with Court Watch NYC. The group claimed it monitored
360 arraignments over four days and found more than half were for
misdemeanor offenses.

oMost of what we saw were crimes of poverty-people who are stealing
things like toothpaste, people who were stealing things like, you
know, soap. And that means if youAre stealing those things, you need
them,o said Gallagher, who reps Greenpoint and other sections of woke
northern Brooklyn.
