NYC council members blame ‘lack of enforcement’ on shoplifting after CVS worker allegedly killed serial thief

New York City council members from both sides of the aisle blamed “lack of enforcement” after a CVS worker stabbed to death a serial shoplifter in Manhattan — a less than subtle dig at Manhattan’s liberal District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

The furor erupted in the hours after Scotty Enoe, 46, fatally knifed serial thief Charles Brito, 50, after being punched early Thursday, making it the latest in a disturbing string of self-defense killings in recent months.

“I’m sorry the man died. But I cannot exist in a world where we pretend that endemic theft without consequence can continue in perpetuity,” fumed Minority Leader Joe Borelli on Friday.

“Can Alvin Bragg maybe help with that? These aren’t exactly capers, he just chooses not to prosecute and we end up with vigilante justice.”

New York’s lax laws eliminated bail for most crimes, including petit larceny.

It's astounding how stupid and unreflective liberals are.

Comrade Kamaji speculates:
"It's astounding how stupid and unreflective liberals are."

You're missing the point, Comrade.

These are communists, acting as how The Party would instruct them to act.
All the moreso if you take into account this is New York, the hotbed of domestic communism.
