  1. Instead of addressing the problem, it’s just more virtue signaling, hand wringing, sorry excuses and begging for more money. This is a sorry excuse for leadership.

    Lead, follow, or get out of the way!

  2. The thieves are actually the ones shutting down the stores in the ghetto hoods. Stores can’t survive without profits. Why would a company want to keep a store open for a bunch of losers that steal their profit? It most certainly is not racism ayanna, it’s just business

    Is she anti-police, anti-ICE and then complains about the rise in thefts.

  4. It goes to show how twisted Massachusetts voters are to let this represent them. The last hope for the Democrat Party ended in Dallas in November 1963.
