The Marxist ideology of the Democratic Party is fundamentally criminal, as it is based on theft. So it should surprise no one that Democrat politicians represent criminals at the expense of the law-abiding.
To quote Democratic Minnesota State Representative Dave Pinto:
“Yesterday, there was a presentation of a group seeking to change how we address organized retail theft, and it actually had not occurred to me to ask, it probably would have been good, to make sure that they would study sort of the benefit of shoplifting and of retail theft, because perhaps people are relying on that and sort of using that and maybe it’s, you know, assisting them in some way.”
No need for a study. I can assure Rep. Pinto that theft does benefit thieves.
The only problem with shoplifting from the Democrat point of view is that it cuts out the bureaucratic middleman.
Democrat Minnesota State Rep. Dave Pinto says the legislature should be studying the benefits of shoplifting and retail theft:
“Perhaps people are relying on that.”
