I feel bad for Giuliani's kid.

[Renew Deal]

She has not had an easy life. Her home situation with her mom vs. her dad is horrible. Her dad was openly cheating on her mom when he was mayor. She must be in a pretty bad place in life to do this now, though I doubt it's the first time.

I haven't seen her in a while, but she looks just like her mother (Donna Hanover).

1. Google "bad parenting" and you'll get Rudy's mug...

...yeah, he really screwed over both of his kids.

3. Me too.

Sounds like she's had a difficult life... emotionally speaking.

And shoplifting junk for 100 dollars when you live on East 86th Street and attend Harvard?

That's a cry for help.

[rbrnmw]

6. lucky she is his daughter

another kid caught doing the same thing would go into a national retail theft database that employers credit companies and landlords use to see if a person is trustworthy. I am a Loss Prevention Officer and I am against the database this is a perfect opportunity to raise awareness concerning it. A person does not have to be convicted to go in the database check bouncer can get their name in there too, if you have made too many returns and LP decides you are doing it fraudulently your name can also be in the database.

7. No, I think it's shoplifting $100 worth of cosmetics because you think you'll

get away with it.

This is the equivalent of an average teenager pocketing some Cover Girl mascara at the local drugstore.

4. I lean towards feeling sorry for her also. When you have enough

money to buy just about anything you want, and you steal it, you need help. I feel just as badly for someone who has absolutely nothing and has to steal to survive. The haves and the have nots; we all have to make choices.

[mstinamotorcity]

5. I don't feel sorry for her

She stole and got caught. She doesn't have to. A cry for help. Boo hoo. Now put the bracelets on her ass and take her to the lockup with the rest of the city's criminal elite.

[hedgehog]

8. She needs to be treated the same way a homeless person caught

pocketing some Cheetos at the 7/11 would be.

[mstinamotorcity]

10. And we all know how that is

she is no different.

[sabrina 1]

24. During her father's reign of terror, the homeless didn't even

have to steal anything to land in jail. They just had to try to find a place to sleep when he sent out his police thugs to throw them jail for 'loitering'. He wanted the streets cleaned up for his wealthy friends who didn't like having to step over the homeless, many of whom were something he never was, veterans.

Not knowing how his daughter feels about her father's policies, I can't say much about her, but it's no surprise than any child raised even in part by that psychopath would have problems, which she appears to have.

She needs help, not jail. But so did the homeless. Still, she is not responsible for her father's evil actions. I hope she gets help.

9. I don't give a shit about her privileged ass.

[cbdo2007]

11. I feel sorry for most kids of divorced parents.

Unfortunatly, many parents out there get to a point where their kids are no longer their priority for whatever reason. Add to it a divorce with multiple step-parents and stuff involved. I feel sorry for her too and hope she can find some peace somewhere in her home life so she doesn't feel like she has to act out.

[slampoet]

12. I had to shoplift food and fuel while i was sleeping in my car in a Michigan winter.......

...but I'm supposed to feel sorry for some twit born with everything when she gets lonely because her crass daddy won't return her emails?

If Giuliani was prosecutor what do you think? Would he show mercy if it was YOUR CHILD?

[EFerrari]

16. But aren't we supposed to aim higher than that?

Empathy doesn't actually cost anything.

21. Rudy is as corrupt as they come. n/t

[JVS]

22. And he's always been a real bastard to the poor, especially on low level crime like this.

After all, to clean up the big apple it was necessary to have zero tolerance for petty crime.

[EFerrari]

26. Yep. Aften 9/11 when I asked my NYC friends about him

to a person, they all detested him.

[JVS]

28. Wow, I never thought I'd get a post deleted for badmouthing Rudy 9ui11iani

[Raineyb]

40. She's getting treated exactly like any poor schnook would have been treated

for the same offense thanks to her father. I really can't muster up any outrage over this at all.

[Smarmie Doofus]

13. Yikes. Tough crowd.

Reminds me of the courtroom seen in Tale of Two Cities.

Folks it was her *father* who was the neo-fascist, corrupt, GOP, rw mayor.

Not the child.

Where's Miss Pross when you need her?

[slampoet]

14. What kind of mascara did the person in Tale of Two Cities shoplift?

[Smarmie Doofus]

15. There's a "curse on the Giulianis to THE LAST OF THEIR RACE"

motif running thru the thread.

Or hadn't you noticed?

The only thing missing is Madame DeFarge.

[stray cat]

17. She has not had it any harder than most in life - and they don't steal

[asdjrocky]

19. Poor little rich white girl.

How will she ever get by in life with the cards so stacked against her?

[laureloak]

20. Slipping in a little racial slur there, aren't we?

[slampoet]

23. and what slur is that?

Educate me.

Since this on the surface seems to be a reference to Gloria Vanderbilt.

[asdjrocky]

25. No slur is meant.

I'm commenting on two things at once.

[laureloak]

29. Then leave race out of it. 'Poor little rich girl' would have been

correct. To insert race into it was a slur to whites.

[asdjrocky]

30. Well the last thing I want to do is slur rich white people.

Gee, sorry. By the way, I'm white, whatever that is.

[laureloak]

32. Although I don't belive you're white, DOUBLE shame on you.

Perpetuating anti-white crap.

[asdjrocky]

35. You don't believe I'm white?

Are you serious? Look at my fucking journal, there's a big picture of a white boy there. But then, I guess I could have planned it all along, setting a trap for you 3 years ago so I could spring it now.

I'm a white boy that actually grew up in a very diverse community, so I see all sides of things.

And I see no reason at all to feel sorry for a little rich white girl that will have everything money can buy.

[Dappleganger]

34. I'm with you...

am white and don't think there's any slur.

:shrug:

[asdjrocky]

36. Some people, even people of privilege, look for reasons to be insulted.

I take that back, especially people of privilege, look for reasons to be insulted.

41. Actually no. Because if Ms. Guiliani were black no one would be up in arms

about her being handcuffed on a shoplifting charge. The double standard needs to be pointed out.

27. I don't.

I've got a list that is pages long of people who are more deserving of my empathy. If she's been traumatized by the events of her childhood, she should seek help. She certainly can afford it. Many others in need of mental health care aren't so fortunate.

31. No sympathy,

Rich, a child of privilege, shoplifting not necessities, no, but rather make up. There are lots of us who were raised in homes that were equally as horrible, in fact much worse, but we don't break laws.

Poor thing, being treated like a regular criminal instead of the child of privilege she is, poor girl:eyes:

[lonestarnot]

33. meh thiev'n richie twit, no prosecution, go figure.

[racaulk]

39. Her parents' public divorce aside, she was born into a life of privilege that most will never know.

Sorry, but I don't have any sympathy for her whatsoever.

I do agree with you, however, that she does look quite a bit like her mother. Good for her that she didn't end up looking like Rudy!
