I don't know. It wasn't televised.

Always funny when they run to the cops, who ignore them.

It’s not the least bit ironic that in that same Twitter thread is a video of that group smashing the windows of a tutoring business.

the horror

Bands of shoplifters are terrorizing Soho’s high-end boutiques, lifting hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of designer merchandise, and in some cases, threatening security guards to keep quiet — or be labeled racist, The Post has learned.

The disturbing pattern began in late May during the riots that rocked the city in the wake of the George Floyd police custody death. High-end Celine was looted of $1.5 million in merchandise then, and the blatant thievery continues “every week” in ritzy stores such as Prada, Moncler, Dior and Balenciaga, one plugged-in local said.

“This is happening every week. Walk around Soho on Wooster Street and Greene Street, Mercer Street. … You have huge bouncers out there trying to deter hit-and-run activity,” the source, a restaurateur, said.

But in some cases, the thieves are given carte blanche to steal.

“If they [store personnel] stop them and say anything in the store before they’ve left the building then it often gets turned into a racial accusation,” the source said.

“The brands … tell their employees to walk away,” the insider added. “They don’t want to be the next Instagram video claiming they are a racist brand.”

If the people that normally shop there can just as easily live in Jackson Hole, or Dubai or wherever they are just fine with racist anti shoplifting policies and the cops won't get defunded, you can be sure they'll move there. Bye bye NY tax base.

I know a guy leaving New York, and he lives in CA, of all places.
