Cynthia Nixon has been slammed for suggesting CVS should let people steal from stores rather than locking up goods like laundry detergent. The former actress and failed New York gubernatorial candidate tweeted on Thursday that she had noticed her local CVS in SoHo had 'started' locking up 'basic items like clothing detergent.' 'As so many families can’t make ends meet right now, I can’t imagine thinking that the way to solve the problem of people stealing basic necessities out of desperation is to prosecute them,' Nixon tweeted. She was slammed by people who said the solution was not to invite theft.

Is desperation now an acceptable excuse for the complete lack of a moral compass?

I guess a food bank is out of the question, Cynthia. Let them come to your house. I am sure you have plenty of extras

I'll bet Nixon locks her own doors at night. And she probably has armed guards and high fences protecting all the "basic necessities" in her house...

Gee, Cynthia, if you owned a store would you let people steal from you?

How morally obtuse of her to say that “needy” people should be allowed to steal! The sheer idiocy of liberals is maddening!

When she invites people into her home and lets them take anything they want, I'll listen to her. Until then, she should shut her pie hole.

FTA: 'As so many families can’t make ends meet right now, I can’t imagine thinking that the way to solve the problem of people stealing basic necessities out of desperation is to prosecute them'
From her perspective "the problem" of theft might seem trivial. But a rational business owner has no duty to supply "basic necessities" to people who feel entitled to steal them.
Rational community leaders understand that without access to merchandise in neighborhood stores, the "desperate" thieves will find basic necessities even further out of reach just as soon as merchants leave for safer areas.

In the early West, horse stealing or rustling got one hung from a tree, no trial, no questions, no mercy. I think we should return to that actual and thoroughly proven deterrent.

If that idiot feels that way, have her open up her home to the marauders and let them help themselves.

Yes, this is the insanity of lie-beral "logic".
Of course, like clockwork, when all the CVS drug stores in high crime areas (otherwise known as high POC areas) shut down because they are loosing money to all the thefts, she will be using that same lie-beral "logic" to decry how racist CVS is for shutting down those same stores.

CVS could put everything behind a counter (with bullet-proof glass), and make the customers pay before handing them their purchases. Of course, that won't stop the thugs from mugging the customers or employees as they leave the store. Bottom line, the most rational decision is to just close the store and walk away.

Put your money where your mouth is. Go to a CVS and offer to pay for everyone who wants something from the store. Talk to me after you do.

Seems that liberals are too free with other people's property. Why not steal from Cynthia Nixon's home and bank account?

"Basic necessities" my a**. They also steal small high value stuff like razor blade refills. These get sold at flea markets later. It's unconscionable to say people should be allowed to steal whatever they want. Making excuses just drives crime up. The left has been excusing blacks for years and inferring that they have a right to do whatever they want because they were oppressed by slavery or suffer from endemic racism. It's no wonder that black people feel entitled to steal and murder. Look at the horrendous spikes in violent crime in our cities. The chickens have now come home to the roost.

In CA, where you have to hit a $950 limit before police can be called for a shoplifting, it is NOT desperate people who do most of the theft.
It is professional mobsters who hire people and hand them a very specific shopping list to steal so as to stay under their $950 limit each.
They do this all day long to any store that stays open there.
Walgreen's is pretty close to leaving CA completely.
CVS should be following them out of CA.
Unless, someone like Cynthia is going to make them whole for all the theft.

Why not let them steal from CVS? They break in and steal from Walmart, Target, all the upscale stores for their jewelry and purses, shoe stores and about anything else they want with no consequences. Shame on CVS for being so picky. /s

What is a "Cynthia Nixon"? If she wants to open a place to give away goods for free....let her fund it herself.
Otherwise, shut the hell up.

Gee Cindy, isn't that why people mortgage their future, go into debt, work 70 plus hours a week to have a successful business and then let people steal them blind because they're desperate? Somewhere along the way Cindy missed the definition of achieving the American dream. She thinks it's means to steal whatever you want.

No, it's not that families can’t make ends meet, it's that the people that do this are just thieves. Most if not all of them rob it and then sell it. And, if they weren't so lazy they could actually get a job. Got it...

I had the feeling that Cynthia wasn't the brightest person but she really can't be that dumb can she? Oh, wait she a 'star' they are that dumb. Does she even understand that enough shoplifting will make the store unprofitable and therefore abandoned with the loss of jobs and tax revenue - Cynthia shows just how ridiculously dumb are socialists.

All of these people saying crime should not be prosecuted should have all of their money confiscated and given to the business owners harmed by the crimes. Once it's biting their butkis, they'll change their tune!!

Maybe she keeps sending her ''spouse'' down to the CVS to steal meds. She looks a bit stoned in her Wiki photo.

Does Cynthia Nixon understand English vocabulary? Perhaps she should revisit definitions of "prosecute" and "persecute" for starters.

I suppose you want our tax dollars to repay CVS too ? I hope they sue you for "getting the word out"
We have a lot of homeless that steal. The walk in with backpacks and load up. One store said "We can't do anything, we just raise the prices" Another one said "If I call the police, I have to fill out a report" They don't call on the drug dealers either.

She is very generous with other people's money. Hollywood types talka good game, but then they climb back into their limos and go home to their gated communities.
