NYC mayor’s plan to stop shoplifting by putting ‘social service kiosks’ in stores annihilated by critics
Fox News
Conservatives on Twitter ripped New York City Mayor Adams for his new plan to reduce shoplifting with "de-escalation" training and social service kiosks.
Twitter users mocked the mayor for his soft, unrealistic plan that seemed no harsher than putting unruly children in a "time out corner," as one described. Others argued that the mayor’s plan would make the city more "dangerous" than it has already become. Gabriel Hays is an associate editor for Fox News Digital.
Conservative Twitter influencer @AGHamiltion29 shared a screenshot of the Fox affiliate’s outline of the mayor’s proposal Friday. According to it, Adam’s plan would implement four key actions: "Give first-time offenders intervention programs instead of prosecution," provide "de-escalation training for retail employees," "establish neighborhood retail watch groups to share theft info," and "install kiosks in stores to connect would-be thieves w/ social service programs."
