Zohran Mamdani isn't the only crazy politician in New York. Far from it.
No one should be arrested—much less jailed—for stealing a tube of toothpaste.

Incarceration separates people from their jobs, support services, & loved ones. It perpetuates cycles of poverty & crime.
That’s a fact, no matter how much fear mongering the right wing media does. pic.twitter.com/WjyEPGIXqU
This Assemblywoman doesn't believe there should be consequences for stealing. Going to take a wild guess and assume she doesn't own a store or any business, actually.
Also, 'that's a fact'. Is it? It kind of sounds like Emily's dumb opinion.
You'll be shocked to learn Emily identifies as a 'Democratic Socialist'. In other words, she is a Commie.
This slovenly pile of pizza dough masquerading as a member of NY's State Assembly is NOTORIOUS for her own scofflaw behavior.

Ask this b***h about the amount of speeding tickets she's got from driving like a f***ing maniac through Williamsburg.
See how quickly you get blocked. https://t.co/imH1tfaSoN
Now, we can't confirm that rumor, but someone should definitely check on that.
She thinks people are actually JAILED in this city for Petit Larceny? This woman knows NOTHING about criminal justice in NYC. But she does know how to yell. Here's a little background: https://t.co/BRYo036CZD https://t.co/55KgF5GNfg

People are rarely jailed in New York for major crimes. Shoplifting is hardly a blip.
This is the CVS off 14th St. in DC. You can decide crime shouldn’t have consequences. But then the rest of us get to live like prisoners with basic necessities locked behind plexiglass, waiting around to push a button so someone can bring us a tube of toothpaste.

It's almost like companies can't survive if people don't pay for their items and just steal them.
They’re doing Woke 1 again. https://t.co/iSy0RkoZFV

Someone alert AOC.
People should definitely be jailed for stealing soap

My mom runs a small soap business & was so excited to start selling at farmers markets & a few retail spots
She was shocked at how much inventory she was losing to theft & eventually had to go back to just online sales https://t.co/0FOscTW7uP
People should not steal. It's one of the Ten Commandments. A tale as old as time. Even God demands it.
LOL. The only thing getting locked up in New York involving toothpaste is the toothpaste itself…

Who’s this idiot kidding? New York really isn’t sending its brightest. https://t.co/wilzuBCbD9
What if she is the brightest left in New York City? The majority just voted for Mamdani. Clearly, there is a lack of cognition happening in the Big Apple.
Listen to this complete wing bat.

No - being a thief and criminal does this. Get a job, don’t steal, and you will see your family every night.… https://t.co/a8BpGDByxA
What a concept.
