AOC blames NYC crime spike on parents shoplifting food for their hungry families

   Crime spike? What crime spike?
     Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez shrugged off New York City’s frightening  rise in crime, suggesting that tough times are forcing parents into  committing petty theft to feed their kids.
      “They feel like they either need to shoplift some bread or go hungry,”  Ocasio-Cortez (D-Queens) said last week on a virtual town hall for  constituents that was 
broadcast on her official Facebook page.
 
AOC  on increased NYC crime: "Maybe this has to do with the fact that people  aren't paying their rent & are scared to pay their rent & so  they go out & they need to feed their child & they don't have  money so... they feel like they either need to shoplift some bread or go  hungry." pic.twitter.com/oHSTWWJZ6a

    The first-term lawmaker blamed the crime wave on the devastating economic downturn sparked by the coronavirus pandemic.
 “Do we think this has to do with the fact that ... people are at a  level of economic desperation that we have not seen?” she asked.
      AOC answered her own rhetorical question by appearing to justify the  spurt in crime that has seen shootings and murders skyrocket this  summer.
      
“People aren’t paying their rent and ... they need to feed their child and they don’t have money,” she explained.
     The city recorded 43 shootings in the last week, up more than 300% from  the same time period in 2019. Ten people were shot over a bloody July 4  weekend
      The progressive lawmaker counterintuitively suggested that cutting more  funds from the NYPD would help stem the crime wave, apparently because  that money could be channeled into social programs.
 “The New York City police department has not been defunded,” she said,  referring to proposed 15% cuts in the NYPD’s $6 billion budget. “These  cuts aren’t really real. And again, they haven’t even happened yet.”
