Get out of NY - You are NOT allowed to defend yourself even after getting shot.

Reminds me of the Jose Alba bodega self defense stabbing, that drew uproar from the public and the charges got dropped. I think that will happen here, but the damage will still sadly be done. The garage attendant now has injuries, medical and possible incoming legal expenses from defending himself AFTER being shot.

Any sane rational jury of New Yorkers will aquit if it goes to trial.

Does the DA just expect somone being attacked to just stand there? They sure do love punishing the normal working people just trying to live.

From the article:
"While police hit Diarra with attempted murder, it wasn’t immediately clear if prosecutors would follow through with the charge."

The DA hasn't accepted the charges yet, so the title of this thread is misleading, since Bragg didn't file the charges, the police did.

Lets hope this good guy does not have diarrhea of the mouth. Let the lawyers do the talking,unfortunately.

Garage guys and other employees should think twice about defending someone elses car...hero aint nothing but a sandwich.think about your own family, and property. U there to park cars. Thats it!

Self defense works for your own life. Same level of force, and shoot once where theres an immediate threat.

Lawyer up kiddo...

To the people of NYC, especially Manhattan. Americans stood by your side when the terrorists attacked NYC and bought down the twin towers. As a kid growing up in Brooklyn I watched those towers constructed, and even though I had long left the NYC area, I was crying at seeing that. Today a different terrorist is attacking America, this new terrorist is home grown and they live in Manhattan and voted for Alvin Bragg to attack America and her laws. NYC and their attack against Trump for political reason is an attack on America. NYC has declared war on America, you guys are the terrorists now.

So when you see a crime on video happening and no one seems to want to help, this is why.
Who in the right mind would want to help anyone knowing you you might go to jail because you might have to hurt the aggressor to stop him?
