Umm, I am vacationing in Europe right now and it has been all over my newsfeed from all different types of sources, so it shouldn't take a whole lot of searching.
And clearly, it was self defense. Has the country gone completely mad?
Only some parts of it and since I don't go to those parts anyway I'm not worried.
Awesome news. Scary to think you could be charged for a crime because you stabbed a person while in fear of your life while being held against your will under threat of violence.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has finally moved to drop the controversial murder charge filed against bodega worker Jose Alba, his office confirmed Monday.
The DA’s office said it had filed a motion in Manhattan Criminal Court to dismiss the case against the 61-year-old bodega worker after a investigation found they couldn’t prove the “defendant was not justified in his use of deadly physical force.”
Bragg and his office had faced widespread backlash after Alba was swiftly charged with fatally stabbing 35-year-old violent ex-con, Austin Simon, who had attacked him inside the Hamilton Heights Grocery on July 1.
Welcome news but only because there was pressure from various sides AND because video footage showed Alba was the victim and not the aggressor.
The man is terrified and traumatized, and won't even leave his house. I read that Austin Simon's comrades in crime are out to get revenge. I'd wait a VERY long time before returning to work - and I would consider relocating somewhere far if I were him.
You know, that newspaper that you guys call "right wing fake news".
I noticed and I'm sure other folks have noticed. Were Democrats involved in the outcry too?
