New York: Mexican Who Self-Defended Against Blacks has Charges Dropped

Would this have happened if he were white?

New York Post:

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg finally did the right thing by dropping murder charges against bodega worker Jose Alba, but he hasn’t remotely admitted he was wrong from the start.

Nor abandoned his reflexive support for thugs over crime victims.

Moving to dismiss the case, Bragg conceded only that his office couldn’t prove the “defendant was not justified in his use of deadly physical force.” How did it take him two weeks to accept the obvious?

Again: Video showed from the start that younger, bigger Austin Simon cornered Alba behind the counter and attacked him; the clerk’s stabbing of his attacker was clear self-defense.

Yes, since the stabbing proved fatal, the DA had a duty to investigate possible criminal charges. But that was no excuse for prosecutors initially requesting $500,000 bail for a bodega clerk. Even when the court instead set the bond at $250,000, that guaranteed Alba would be stuck in Rikers — despite Bragg’s much-stated desire to keep perps out of jail.

It took outside intervention to get bail reduced and Alba sprung, and even then Bragg wouldn’t drop the second-degree murder charge even as more evidence of self-defense emerged.

Why don’t white people do this for each other?

The Post took up Alba’s cause because Manhattan prosecutors were re-victimizing the hardworking Dominican immigrant with their wrongful accusations.

Meanwhile, Bragg instantly refused to even consider charges against Simon’s girlfriend, who not only triggered the fatal encounter by bringing Simon to the store to avenge the clerk’s alleged rudeness, but proceeded to stab Alba after he’d warded off the attacker.

That shows the DA believes it’s the victims (and cops) who have a duty to “de-escalate” tense situations, not the actual lawbreakers.

Charging him in the first place wouldn’t have happened if he were black.

But we have a racial hierarchy in this country, with blacks at the top (well, technically Jews are at the top, but that’s a secret).

It looks like they saw the guy wasn’t black, so didn’t just let him off, but then people said “wait, he’s not white – we’re going too far. We’re giving a Mexican a white person type punishment.”

Mexicans are solidly in-between blacks and Asians, with whites at the very bottom.
