A biological need to steal: Look, I took A.P. biology, and while I wouldn't say I was the greatest student, I am pretty sure there was not a section on the biological urge to steal. Yet that is what New York Assemblywoman Emily Gallagher claimed recently in a rant outside the Manhattan Criminal Court.
"Most of what we saw were crimes of poverty—people who are stealing things like toothpaste, people who were stealing things like, you know, soap. And that means if you're stealing those things, you need them," said Gallagher, according to The Daily Wire.
