• 0:11
  Speaker 2: suite and you asking people about shoplifting. Yeah you know, no,
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: you tempted to shoplift yourself.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: I could see it now, Larry the headline New York
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: City Reporter attempt shoplifting in the name of getting the
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: story done to see if I could do it. But
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I didn't.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, you ruined it. That would have been wonderful.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: As you know, dry shampoo and deodorants getting really expensive now.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: So look, not long ago, New York Governor Kathy Hokele
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: introduced let Them Build initiative, okay, with a goal of
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: building housing faster and even more affordable. Now there's this
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: unofficial campaign let them Shoplift. It's not from her office, okay. Instead,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: it's a group of progressive lawmakers in New York City
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: really led by a semmember, Emily Gallagher out of Brooklyn,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: making headlines for saying people who shoplift items for hygienic
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: purposes my you know, my deodorant should be in the clear.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: So let's hear what the streets have to say.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Do we have it.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: That's totally inappropriate. This needs to be accountability. People need
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: to be held accountable, and they shouldn't just be able
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: to walk into a store and steal whatever it is
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: they want.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: I'm seventy four years old and I've been working like
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: a son of a gun, but ever since thirty and
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: I'm still working. So no, I don't hijack or you know,
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: shoplift my you know, personal thing, So why should they.
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: I'm not saying it's right, but you know, if people
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: Parker lifting to get you know, soup pastes and deyodorant
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: or whatever they need, pay no more.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Now Gallagher's position, she's going to keep pushing for treatment,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: non jail punishment, so you know, sort of taking the
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: quality of life issue at hands. But do New Yorkers
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: think this may be indicative of a bigger issue than
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: just swiping stuff off the shelves.
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: No.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: I just think that there's just a level of lawlessness
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: that just is inappropriate and can't be tolerated. The people
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: should be prosecuted for stealing.
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: You know, I feel like in right now's economy, I
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: feel like definitely unappointment is at all time high. People
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: are not able to afford the basic necessities. So I
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: mean a lawmaker saying that you can go ahead a shoplift,
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: I think that maybe you should look into what are
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: people getting paid, like what is the minimum wage? I
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: think it should be more outraged around why people are
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: shoplifting than a lawmarker a lawmaker saying it. I think
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: they should look at it.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and plenty of New Yorkers have been somewhere and
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: a whole display goes missing. One woman telling me she
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: was in the target we were standing in front of
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: and some guy just came in and took the whole
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: table of blow dryers. So it does make people feel
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: you know, the question of does it make people feel
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: some type of way when they're waiting in line and
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: people are just grabbing and going.
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: I'm not packa watching if you don't have the money
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: to afford the basic accessities, I hope that you know
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: in the future you can. But if I'm not saying that,
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: you're right, it.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: Makes me feel like nothing whatever I do work for
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: or why can't I live great free?
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Okay, oh yeah, I've seen people walk in with shopping
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: bags and just steal stuff right off the shelves, you know,
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: and that some of the security people confront them and
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: sometimes they don't. But no, I don't blame them at all.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: I just I think that there just needs to be
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: an understanding that that is just not acceptable behavior.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: But is there an understanding that it's not acceptable behavior?
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Because it seems to just keep happening over and over right,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: And in a sense, you hear the headlines, you see
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: the headline.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Let me compliment you, you got quite a popoie of different
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: points of view on this. Yeah, from both men and
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: women responding to your questions.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: I would have I thought it would have been absolutely not.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: I work hard. Let them go in there and pay
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: a twain reading CBS like I do for my products,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: and wait til twenty minutes while they pull up that
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: plastic you know, protector. It takes that long in order
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: to get my toothpaste.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I made a video. I'm gonna put it.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: We're gonna put it on socials to show you. If
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: you haven't been to a city, CBS or Walgreen, you'll
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: see what it looks like because those workers get their
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: steps in to walk around and get everybody.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: Natalie is going to be back tomorrow with her beat
