Love this slogan : Make crime illegal again.

It amazes me, that people will continue to vote for their own demise.

Avoiding NYC. What a dump!

Just remember. 40 years from now people will feel nostalgic for this era...

Stop calling them shoplifters...they are thieves....period.

NYC voters literally voted for this and now they are crying?

I remember in the 60s when all those subway malls and shops were operating. Then, they closed down in the late 60s and early 70s. It was amazing to see them come back in the mid 90s. Now, history repeats itself….. 😢

Back in the 1980’s NYC was a dangerous place, and we NEVER rode the subway. Then they started the broken window policy and the city became one of the safest places. It’s a shame that it’s degrading again.

Has anyone considered enforcing the law and removing the DA?

"Bad guys no longer fear police" Yeah, no shit when you legalize theft and punish those who want to do something against it 🤦‍♂

The line ”you could steal city hall” from Die Hard 3 comes to mind when watching these. Where is John McLane, he’s needed..

Watching from Australia 🇦🇺 Absolutely top-notch journalism.

“Arresting people over and over and over again.” There are no consequences because you keep releasing them over and over and over again.

Eric Adams says that criminals don't fear the police any longer but he doesn't acknowledge that that's his fault.

A good question to ask Jordan is : Are the offenders still receiving NY tax dollars for assistance after the said crime?

The corrupt politicians are the problem in our country! Good job Cash Jordan👏🙌 Be safe always🙏🌺

That's what you get New York... Pass stupid laws, collect stupid prizes.

We treat predators like victims today and this is the natural result.

As Matt Walsh said awhile ago, you have to "choose your ugliness". Locking up someone for six months for shoplifting may be ugly; but letting an entire society decline and deteriorate and making the lives of millions be miserable is way uglier. You can't avoid ugly things, so you need to choose what ugliness is more acceptable.

Mayor Adams making Escape From New York a reality

WHO would have EVER THOUGHT all the "Defund The Police!" & "Progressive Crime Policies" would have led to this...

You must remove your judges and prosecutors. They are the main problem.

Love your videos. Thank you for keeping us informed 😀

Thanks for the NYC perspective of what is happening.

Here is an idea. Mark everything in the store $1001. At the checkout, when you show ID the item is discounted to the proper price. Anything stolen is over 1000 dollars.

This is what New York advocated and voted for. Good riddance. You get what you vote for.

In the words of mayor dusty Adams, "Crime is just not that bad" We all are exaggerating. smh.

Good reporting!

Arresting people over and over and over again.” There are no consequences because you keep releasing them over and over and over again.

Using FORCE or the THREAT of FORCE to LOOT a store in broad daylight is not SHOPLIFTING.

You have a great channel. Another great video. Keep it up !!

I’ll say this in each video that talk about crime, when they can’t loot stores, they’re breaking into your homes. Don’t say you weren’t warned…

"some of the goods are reportedlty stolen." They were ALL stolen. Reporting it is just pointless.

You know crime won't stop when media blurring criminals' faces.

Your doing gods work brother prayers you keep growing ❤

Good keep up the good work cash Jordan Yeah, you have a calling

The blurring is strategic so that the racial disparities are hidden.

I guess NY shouldn't have demonstrated to "Defund the Police" !!!

Thx you libs !!! Good work

Why crime when you can get the money from good means? I get $125,000.00 every two months. The depravity keeps rising, nonetheless

NYC = A SLUM

It's really bad ALL OVER the country. Same story in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Seattle, Chicago, etc. They are all Gotham now.

malls will never go away. people like me who have tried amazon and not get what they advertise , looks nothing like what you ordered will all ways go to the mall .

I think you're the best NYC reporter!

Commit a crime, rot in jail. How is this a radical idea now?

I love how your channel has progressed to be one of the most dependable news commentaries channels about nyc! Keep up the good work bro

Thank you for the truth .

Great job Mayor Adams!

Put shoplifters in jail. And if you get 3 strikes, then keep them in jail for at least 10 years IMHO. This is now happening to the Washington, DC area.

Went to NYC the other day and stopped at a 7-11 to get an energy drink. Couldn't even open the fridge door without someone at the front unlocking it. Like really? Even energy drinks need to be locked up now, not to mention a homeless on a mattress doing drugs in plain sight for everyone to see right outside and smelling urine at every dark corner. It's truly disgusting now

Man I hope y'all get it figured it out the potential for New York to be successful are astronomical great video Cash!!

BRAVO...👏 Thank you..👍👍✌

They haven’t seen crime like this since 1995,…or in other words since pre Giuliani. How bad will the city have to get before another Giuliani is elected?

I'm so happy to see that New York City is getting everything they wanted.

Crazy! But you do have some good spots to detect

Nero is busy fiddling. Bye bye America

Months ago I was in Brooklyn, I walked up to a couple of NY law enforcement officers shook their hands and thanked them, their response was “ your not from NY are you” Me “ no sir I’m from Alabama “ we all had a wonderful conversation and they thanked me. I told them to come south where we respect our law enforcement officers.

just about everything i'm seeing from america lately is really unsettling. hope you guys land on your feet after all this change

It’s all on the liberals with the judicial revolving doors…AOC said “ Maybe they’re shoplifting because they’re hungry “ 😂😂😂No… they’re getting over, and the business owners, taxpayers are the one’s picking up the tab! Business owners can’t even defend themselves… “Stand Your Ground “ is needed!

All of them in New York gov should be in prison, no court, straight to prison….for treason

That's what happens when you let your pets of their leashes with no consequences.

I thought it was a dump 10yrs ago, now it surely is the Rotten Apple.

Very Profound Analysis -- When the Trains are all LATE and all the passengers are behind schedule, they no longer have the time or desire to shop at the underground stores. THIS is something nobody else is talking about. Combined with the more talked about Lack of Safety in the subway, most everybody is simply in a big hurry to GET OUT as soon as possible. This leaves all the merchants with no paying customers -- only the thieves.

As I get older I think back on punishments for stealing in early history and I start to think maybe they were on to something...

New Yorkers are blowing all their wages on sky-high rent and energy bills, they have little left over to spend in malls.

You should make this video in Oakland/ San Francisco. But I was just in New York in January and specifically Rockafella center, I didn’t get the impression that there was supposed to be a mall in the rockafella center.

I am living in Denmark, but I have friends in N.Y. City. My last visit to N.Y.C. was ten years ago and I am truly astounded to learn what has happened to that wonderful city during the last decade.

Thank you Cash for following the story when the mainstream media ignores it

Wonder why the shop owners don't just start charging $1000 for every item then discount at payment time....then thieves would be over the grand mark. Just a thought

The thing with "dead malls" is that the only "dead malls" are those that you have to drive to. City malls have never been dead, and what has happened in NYC has a lot to do with people not being able to afford to "live" in those coffin-sized apartments. People aren't going to visit these commuter stores if they can't afford it. Non-violent crime comes in three flavors, "desperation (eg homeless)", "planned (organized crime)", and "opportunistic (people who get their adrenaline rush from high risk/extreme activities)". The "not putting people in jail" is intended to not punish desperation and opportunistic crimes with jailtime under the assumption that they wouldn't do it if they weren't put in the position to commit the crime. Organized crime on the other hand knows what they are getting into. So if the city isn't putting people in prison, they will just keep doing it, knowing that the risk is low that there will be any real penalty to it. I'm not sure how NYC is going to be able to fix this without rounding up everyone who commits a shoplifting crime and forcing them to "work" for the city (eg cleaning up litter) until they've paid off the amount of property loss to the merchant.

your videos are pretty damn good.

I've been involved in business since I was in high school. I've mentored entrepreneurs all over the country. Whenever I've been contacted by entrepreneurs in states like New York or California, I inform them that their first order of business is moving to a state where a business can survive and develop. To the people of New York who voted for these people to run their state, keep protesting Trump and the republicans. The world has been laughing at you for years.

At least the mayor had a great vacation in Italy

It’s not shoplifting. It’s grand larceny. Call it what it is and act accordingly.

Same here in Toronto...

we are being invaded over here in europe and as we say import the 3rd world become the 3rd world

My mom told me about riding the subway back in 1940's and 50's. She lived in Brooklyn. She never said anything about shopping and eating in subway. It was a means of transportation. Having stores and food underground just doesn't appeal to me.

Online shopping factor is a huge reason. If everyone is buying things online, operation costs alone will likely be a net negative when having a physical storefront.

I'm amazed that Manhattan hasn't imploded yet between the shoplifting, the subway issues, ridiculously high rents, stores closing their doors, and so on...

It's not the police. Íts the DA.

NYC is the new SF. Blue Doom

Had the grandkids staying with me all last week. One of the things they wanted to do was go to the local mall which I haven't been to in over four years. So I decided we would drive over and take a walk, as I pulled up to the Nordstroms entrance there was a crowd of blacks, 10-12 standing outside, sitting on the planters, smoking etc, so I passed it by and drove to the Belk's entrance I used to use because it was far from the food court. But once again there was a bunch of blacks standing around. That was it, the mall has had quite a few gang incidents and supposedly installed some sort of weapons detection system, told the kids sorry but it's not worth the risk. On a side note a few years ago the Durham NC black community decided they were going to boycott that mall for an entire weekend. It was great, Nordstroms reported their highest profits of the year due to almost zero inventory shrinkage, most other stores experienced the same.

Wow, for ten years I walked through that Rockefeller mall on bad weather days to get to work. Up until 3-4 years ago, every space was occupied and the lunch crowd was huge. I left town 3 years ago and can’t believe how things have fallen apart.

The question is not why cities cannot protect their businesses and residents. The question IS why won't the cities protect their residents and businesses. Unfortunately, NY is NOT an anomaly. Major cities throughout the U.S. are intentionally failing to protect the residents and businesses. What is driving their attitude towards crime to their own detriment? Sinister.

Wow. This is indeed very sad.

We have that catch & release system here in Cda similar to that softer policy you’re referring to in NYC and it doesn’t work here as well as it’s becoming a lawless society! Lots of crime and the high inflation isn’t helping…

This would never have happened if Giuliani was in office. No way!

You need to name the officials letting this happen to New York.

I know two people who liked to shoplift. 1) stole items less than $100 per item. She was very successful at shoplifting until she unalived herself. 2) Stole greater than $100 per hit. His biggest haul at "over $1,000" just for the mobility scooter he loaded up with other stolen stuff. Can't get far with a low speed device.

I haven't watched in a while so was shocked by this video. I moved from San Francisco to Montana some some 40 yrs ago and stopped my regular visits there after a trip in 2007. I found my old home almost recognizable *then*. I made my last regular trip to Seattle in 2012 and haven't returned, because I was repeatedly and aggressively panhandled and found myself tripping over passed out and sleeping people such that it was impossible to take a walk. It seems all our beloved major cities are suffering from crime that's not being countered in any meaningful way. This has to stop, but I'm not sure how that can happen when this retail and transit crime has pretty much been tolerated for 20 yrs.

New york is so fucked.

my concern with this is , that once they have no more stores to steal...they will start with houses...and crime on people with rise...this is horrible

Just came back from Japan. Their underground malls are packed, clean and super safe. Turnstiles do not even have a barrier because everyone automatically scans their underpass tickets. No one runs through or jump through to cheat on their travel. Restaurants and stores are packed with people and unlike what I see in NYC....so sad

Same thing is happening with Toronto TTC/Subway

Seems like mayor Adams is the crime boss himself.... running Gotham City

All of this is made by design! The controllers don't want you to go out, having fun or shopping. These freaks want you to stay home, feeling scared and miserable.

Stagnant wages, unaffordable housing increases poverty, which increases desperation, which increases crime... If only the billionaires and millionaires could figure out that people need to be treated with respect.. All the wrong people have money and are in leadership roles...

Malls are closing everywhere not only in nyc. I stopped shopping at malls over ten years ago. A bunch of over priced junk is no longer wanted.

Our city tried to decriminalize certain types of crimes but it was narrowly defeated. Those who want the crime to be rampant have a long range goal of more control over citizens. When crime gets out of control and citizens finally demand relief, you will find more laws that take your freedoms away in order to ‘protect’ you.

Malls closing in the subway creates an environment ripe for violent crime because it dramatically reduces traffic creating isolated victims.
