I was at the cashier in Walgreens today (Saturday) and a tall, thin black man just walked out of the store with a 6 pack of beer and nobody could do anything about it. They have had so many thefts that common items, like toothpaste are locked up. What is going on lately?

Lately, a homeless shelter went up on Queens Blvd in Kew Gardens, and soon, a prison (Heaven Forbid).
