His real problem is he’s an old white guy who defended himself against a black thug

You put violent hands on another person, you deserve everything they unload on you.

How hard is that to understand?

It does not matter if you are "armed" or not. The majority of killings are done without any weapons.

And, of course, this being NYC, the shopkeeper is arrested.

Nah; I tell them to stay put. They always bring their voting pattern with them. That’s how a lot of states went from red to purple to blue (like Virginia)

It seems he knows how to use a knife very well, maybe move to a (RED) Gulf State and be a “Fish Monger”!

Just like in Kenosha, the “prosecutor” is actually part of the violent lawbreaking crew, finishing off the victim after one of his/her gang members or Antifa squaddies is taken down.

You can see the feelings of despair and hopelessness of the old guy. Like he knew he was going to die. Fight or flight kicks in, realizes he’s not getting away and did what he had to do to survive. I’m sure he hated every second of it. Other than the charges, I wonder if this might be a protective custody action. So the animals friends don’t come back and kill him. Let things cool off a little then drop the charges so the family has a chance to get out of dodge.

Makes you wonder what the standard is - how many stabs do you get a pass on before it becomes something more than ‘self-defense’?

I thought gofundme wouldn’t allow money for a defense fund, or was that just for Rittenhouse?

I can’t find the GoFundMe page for this guy - I wonder if they cancelled it...

They probably canceled it as soon as they found out he was white.

He is white-hispanic-right-wing-latinox about to retire and go back to his native Dominican Republic, a bastion of Nordic peoples.

Wonder when the majority is going to get sick and tired of the 5% causing so much death and destruction and start the pendulum to swing back the other way.
