NYC Bodega Worker Charged w/ Murder

Saw this yesterday on “The Five”

Jose Alba is 51 and works in a bodega. Austin Simon who is 34 comes into the bodega and starts assaulting Alba. Simon has Prior felony convictions and attempts to steer Alba away from the counter area. Alba picks up a knife and stabs Simon in the neck and chest and kills him. Everything is on video.

Manhatton DA Alvin Bragg cant have a citizen defending himself so he has Alba arrested and put on Rikers on 250k bond. Alba has never been in trouble before. Why doesnt he get the No Cash Bail that is so popular in NYC these days?

By looking at the video, I think the DA should be charged just like Nifong was in North Carolina.
.

The mayor — who later paid a visit to the Hamilton Heights bodega — stopped short of criticizing Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office for charging Alba with second-degree murder and requesting a whopping $500,000 bail at the worker’s arraignment Saturday.

“The DA has a non-mandate, where we cannot dictate or mandate how he determines how he’s going to prosecute crimes,” Adams told reporters. “That is up to the district attorney, and I’m not going to second-guess the district attorney for his actions.”

Libs are pulling the lever and installing some of the worst possible candidates into very important jobs. This is the example of their performance and you’re getting what you asked for…PERIOD. Now…stay there and enjoy the fruits of your stupidity. Maybe others, in other cities can learn from it?

Bail reduced to $50,000 and Alba is now home.

Not good enough for me.

With a 50k bail he most likely has to get a bond. At 10% that is 5k that he has to forfeit to the bondsman just for getting out until trial. He doesnt get that 5k back. He should sue the DA and the city for it.

If these DAs were charged for bringing garbage cases to the court, they would quit doing it.

…in a case of self defense where he was even injured defending his life. Enjoy this DA and Mayor NYC.

The mayor is siding with Alba.

The lib motto is silence is violence…or…is this different?

He is a politician. He’s trying to have it both ways.

A subpar start, but a start nonetheless. :person_shrugging:

Progressive Democrats don’t believe in self-defense. Criminals will always have leniency over law-abiding citizens under Democratic rule, because every last progressive DA does crap exactly like this nationwide.

By the way, beautiful inside work with that knife. Bet he could’ve knocked that dude out with the same right hook. That man looks like he had hard hitting hands in his day.

Another thug taken out.

Chesa Boudin recalled.
George Gascon …on his way ?
Alvin Bragg could be next.

I like how these soft on crime DAs and politicians are ok with letting career criminals out onto the streets but they’ll lock you up should you defend yourself when one of them attacks you.

Horrible decision

He needs to have that bail money refunded and needs to be fully exonerated…

He did nothing wrong.

Then he needs to sue the ■■■■ out of that clown DA.

Agreed. What do you think is the motivation for these progressive DA’s? I’m trying to imagine big picture implications for the future but can’t make sense of it, other than complete government control.

You’d have to ask George Soros he’s the scum ball that keeps financing these bozos.

They’ve never met a crook they didn’t like and a law abiding citizen they didn’t hate. The idiot in San Francisco is gone…hopefully the dumbass in LA will follow. I don’t live in NY but I’ve heard the governor has the power to remove Bragg. That should have already happened.

I don’t know the motivation but these idiots are the worst of the woke progressive/regressive left.

Keepin’ It Real! How’d that work out for you con?

Bragg is trying to stop rioting before he starts, and he locked up an innocent man to do it.

Order comes with a price.

I will tell you this…the examples come from on high…

Hundreds of thousands of illegals barge into the country across the southern border. Our president and Vice President and dhs secretary do nothing other than lie about “operational control”. The only time they get animated is when they can attack horseback border patrol agents for doing their jobs.

Our justice department under the leadership of a complete fraud named Merrick Garland does nothing quickly…unless they are presented with the opportunity the attack parents for their righteous concern over the crap their kids are being taught.

I see no difference.
