This is a great scoop, the kind for which you have to hang out in back alleys on 35th street at odd hours. It's also a despicable practice that this and other companies are perpetrating, destroying unworn clothes in a city of poor, cold people. I'm glad Dwyer's airing this story out. The H&M PR department probably needs a new order of stress balls today.

This is just a despicable practice. I'm glad that the Information Age will guarantee that everybody knows about this soon.

It is winter, a third of the city is poor, and unworn clothing is being destroyed nightly.

This is just the facts. No opining necessary.
