Last Christmas, Jose Zambrano Rodriguez surprised his little sister with a spontaneous road trip to Miami.
“He just called me and said, ‘Let’s go to Florida. Let’s just rent a car and drive,’” Pamela Zambrano Gomez, 21, told The Post. “We surprised my dad. We had so much fun.”
This year, an empty table setting will replace the bright, young video-game entrepreneur’s spot at the family table.
The ambitious 26-year-old Brooklynite — who was featured in Variety magazine for his work as a game developer — was mortally injured outside a Brooklyn bar, days before Thanksgiving, because he refused a thug’s request for a cigarette, police said. He died four days later in Bellevue Hospital.
Yet Joshua Hernandez — the reputed Latin Kings gang member who cops say delivered a fatal punch to Rodriguez’s skull — won’t spend Christmas behind bars. The 25-year-old is out on $20,000 bail for a misdemeanor assault charge in the Nov. 17 attack on a Williamsburg sidewalk.
His victim’s family will spend the holiday season fighting for justice.
“My son is dead. That is a fact. And the man who murdered him is out on bail,” José Zambrano said. “What frightens me the most is the possibility of the system making him go to prison only a year, because of New York’s license to kill, based on a ‘one punch law.’”

Where I come from, ol’ Joshua would be hunted down and never found again.
Carry. Always, everywhere. Have your day in court if necessary. Your life is worth more than any law.
I’d kill him. I am not playing. Shotgun blast to the face. No one is murdering my son and getting away with a misdemeanor. I don’t give a crap.
We should all line up and give the killer “one-punch”. Remember one punch only. By the tenth or eleventh one-punch he should be dazed enough for someone to deliver the same blow he gave to the victim. And it would be only one-punch per the law.
Yep. Go find him, and take care of it. Nothing else to be done here, it would be very, very bad for him and anyone else like him until they stop me.
“Many families of “one-punch killing” victims have agonized over the paltry punishments given to their loved ones’ assailants.”
This is EXACTLY where ‘Criminal Justice Reform’ leads to...
And throw in the politicians/judges who made this outrage possible.
Polar Bear Hunting now in full swing with zero consequences...
I wonder how the government of New York would react to the idea of a “one gun” law, which would allow them to purchase, possess, carry, and use, one gun, without sanction, licensing, registration, etc.
Yup.
Exactly
The perp:
The feeling was very strong that the cigarette request was just a premise for the real aim of getting into a FIGHT with him, an out-of-towner simply on vacay.
For no reason.
Unprovoked physical assault resulting directly in the death of the victim is felony murder. Probably not so in California where it would be a ticketable misdemeanor.

One Punch law would have thugs practicing their sucker punches for the Knockout Game.
You and me both.
SPJNK.
eggshell skull law
But we only get black votes by letting them get away with murder. Votes before justice.
Besides, it wasn’t the judge’s son who diesmd, so whats the big deal.
White Feather remedy needed.
