I am extremely disturbed by what I witnessed in Lower Manhattan last night. I lived on Wall Street for years - directly across from The NYSE. Last night - I went to grab a few items at Rite Aid - only to find out that almost everything was behind a lock. I asked an employee how often things are stolen from the store. He said - every day. Numerous times a day. I was shocked. Next - the employee told me that even when they catch a criminal - they can’t do anything - unless the criminal is a repeat offender at the location. When they do take action - the offender is let out almost instantly - only to start stealing from the store all over again. I have no words for what I see happening to this city that I no longer recognize. Before I left the store - he said this: “They give the criminals more power than the workers.” New York City is completely out of control. Why are we empowering criminals?
