Desperate NYC merchants turn to K-9 units to sniff out shoplifters

 

Shoplifting has become so rampant that one of the Big Apple’s busiest commercial districts is turning to “man’s best friend” to sniff out thieves, The Post has learned.

The 34th Street Partnership — the trade group serving the neighborhood that includes Macy’s Herald Square, Penn Station and Madison Square Garden — is trying to take a bite out of crime by contracting with a firm that provides K-9 units.

The dogged pursuit was launched this month at the CVS at Eighth Avenue and West 34th Street in the heart of the district that has been plagued with thefts.

 “We’ve had a lot of complaints. A lot of shoplifting occurs in drugstores,” said Kevin Ward, the vice president of security for the 34th Street Partnership.

“We’re trying to address the issue.”

The program — which the trade group says costs in the “low-five figures monthly” — was a necessary investment amid a flood of shoplifting complaints and lax enforcement tied to the state’s soft-of-crime laws, according to Ward.

Clinton aide with Epstein ties ruled as a suicide Despite him Being found tied to tree and despite no gun at scene

 

The mysterious death of an aide to President Bill Clinton with ties to Jeffrey Epstein has been officially ruled a suicide – despite there being no sign of a weapon near the body.

Mark Middleton, 59, who served in the Clinton White House in the 1990s, was found dead on Heifer Ranch in Perryville, Arkansas on May 2, 2022, the Daily Mail reported.

Almost one year after Middleton’s death, a police report obtained by the outlet this week revealed that the Little Rock businessman was discovered with a gunshot wound to the chest and an extension cord tying his neck to a tree.

“I could see the male was obviously deceased,” Deputy Jeremy Lawson of the Perry County Sheriff’s Department wrote of his arrival at the grisly scene.

Hashem Sends His Goyim to Send Jews from Orlando a Message "Go Back to Israel!"

 

Arab Say : “They Paid Me NIS 300 To Protest Outside The Knesset”

 

Thousands of Israelis protested against the judicial reform and the “end of democracy” outside the Knesset on Monday night.

However, various videos published on social media of protestors being interviewed showed that many of them had no idea of what the judicial reform entails. One teenage protester told Kan News that the laws dictate that “the government will decide who’s in the Knesset and whoever opposes the laws they propose will go to jail.”

Additionally, a video posted by Chareidi journalist Ariel Elharar showed that not all the participants in the protest were even “authentic” protesters.

Elharar wrote: “Yesterday at the offices of Refuah and Simcha [a chessed organization] in Jerusalem, the Arab janitor didn’t show up. When one of the employees asked him today why he didn’t come yesterday, he replied that he received NIS 300 to participate in the left-wing protest in front of the Knesset and shout: ‘We don’t want Netanyahu, we don’t want Ben-Gvir.'”

Someone responded to the post by commenting: “I was offered NIS 400 to go to the protest. Someone in Ra’anana asked me and someone else if we were going to the protest. I said ‘no’ and he said ‘come for NIS 400’ but I said ‘no.’ The guy next to me continued talking to him.”

The New Israel Fund, a US-based left-wing NGO, has admitted to financially backing anti-Netanyahu protests in Israel.

Jew-Haters Spew Vicious Rhetoric and Distribute Fliers Outside Broadway Show (VIDEO)

 



  On Tuesday, vicious Neo-Nazi antisemites protested outside the Broadway revival of Parade—a musical about the true story of the false conviction and horrific murder of a Jewish man named Leo Frank HY”D in 1915.

The members of the “National Socialist Movement” shouted at patrons, carried signs with hateful rhetoric, and attempted to distribute hate-filled fliers to people in line for the show.

It was particularly gruesome considering that the musical is an indictment against antisemitism in its most despicable form.

The show depicts the life and tragic death of Mr. Frank, a Jewish factory manager in Georgia in the early 20th century. He was falsely convicted of murdering 13-year-old factory worker Mary Phagan and sentenced to life in prison. But Mr. Frank was subsequently lynched by an angry white mob.

After his death, it was revealed that Ms. Phagan was actually murdered by Jim Conley, another factory worker. Mr. Frank has been exonerated, and the ADL was founded in response to his tragic murder.

The far-right white supremacist group falsely and baselessly accused Mr. Frank of being guilty, in addition to other crimes.
