Queens Democrat demands CVS stop shoplifters

Councilman Robert Holden (D-Queens) wrote a scathing letter to CVS President Karen S. Lynch Wednesday demanding the drugstore chain start cracking down on shoplifting.

“Failing to report retail theft constitutes a dereliction of duty and poses serious consequences,” he wrote. “It inadvertently incentivizes criminals to continue their unlawful activities while putting CVS staff and customers in unnecessary danger.”

The councilman doesn’t explain how filing a report that will be ignored by the police, or playing catch-and-release with thieves will act as deterrents, but then, politicians are known for spouting off for the cameras, not accepting responsibility for the completely predictable consequences of the laws they enact.

harumph, harumph, harumph!
