A Manhattan judge on Thursday lowered the sky-high bail on a bodega worker who was charged with murder after fending off a violent ex-con inside his store.

Jose Alba was being held on Rikers Island on $250,000 bail in the Friday night caught-on-video attack. The amount was reduced to $50,000, with Alba’s family and his boss coming up with the $5,000 needed to spring him on a bond.

“Clearly self-defense. Why was he even arrested?”

Because he defended himself.

Anyone who reads a story about people standing around not helping or defending a victim during the commission of a crime, THIS IS WHY! These Soros-backed, POS Demonic Party DA’s are purposely seeding choas and mayhem on the lawful public. It is intentional...

Look at the video very carefully noting the fine details of the encounter ... I noticed a prejudiced white supremacist capitalist attacking a down trodden BLACK minority person who was in the process of turning his life around.

Because in the peoples Republic on New York, you have no right to self defense, especially if your attacker is a member of a protected class.

That ain’t just anti-gun. It’s anti-human.

Lol, I guess what I meant was that anti gun states are the most likely to prosecute people for defending themselves, regardless of the situation.

Agreed. Though cops may not have had the surveillance footage when they responded. DA should drop thr charges but in the current political environment who knows

Ex-con assailant on probation deserved ever inch of that knife. He was one surprised MotherF’er, for a moment at least.

There’s really only one question now, and we should all be loudly demanding it be done as soon as possible:

When does DA Bragg resign or when will he be fired?

Mayor Adams? Governor Honchul?

Time to get rid of psycho Hockaluggie, Nothing to Bragg about, ball-less Adams and the Manhattan DA and judge who put the victim under a $250k bail.

He must have confused "turn his life around" with "being planted in the ground". Good riddance to bad rubbish. Now if only NYC could rid itself of Eric Adams, DA Bragg (NOTHING to brag about!), Wicked Witch Hochul and some absolutely cray-cray Congresscritters, it might have a chance.
