A 51-year-old New York City deli worker was charged with murder after security video showed him allegedly stabbing to death a man who physically attacked him behind the store's counter last week.
But the deli owner says his employee — who was being held Tuesday in Rikers Island on $250,000 bail, the New York Post reported — acted in self-defense.

Self Defense is NOT ALLOWED in NYC!
One day it will be illegal for a clerk to refuse to empty the register into the pocket of the robber, and hold the door open for them on their way out, depending upon their skin color.
New York is a lost state, just like California! Anyone who cares about anything should move away and don’t look back!
Heard this on the radio today. Why would he even be charged with the entire episode was taped?
By now it should be obvious whose side the DemocRATS are on.
this is about the girlfriend of the criminal who ended up dead. She had a beef with the bodega worker and brought in her boyfriend. She also stabbed the worker during the incident but was not charged.
"NYC deli worker, 51, allegedly stabs to death man who attacked him behind counter. Now worker is charged with murder — but his boss says it was self-defense."
I'm curious you got this:
"In NYC, deli worker defends self from attack by customer. Now, his is in jail for second-degree murder!"
The dead guy was not a “customer”, he was an assailant. The clerk was assaulted and was being dragged outside for a forced “apology”, but he had no idea what his fate was to be once he was out there. Seems a pretty clear case of self defense. His bitch was offended and he was going to make the clerk pay a price. I have to assume this is the way this guy lived his life, as a thug and a bully. NY is a better place with his death.
Progressives are totally opposed to the principle of self-defense... as any criminal would.
“No easy release for this deli worker. Wonder why?”
maybe he was wearing a MAGA hat!
That should help when things get straightened out and they are the ones being hunted.
Defund the police, decriminalize crime, disarm the law-abiding, outlaw self-defense.
I wonder what the plan is? </sarcasm>
Black thugs are a privileged class in Biden’s America.
And then the perp has his unfortunate encounter with an impromptu weapon of self-defense which is ordinarily used to cut string. As I understand it, the weapon was not even some shiv the clerk was already carrying for anticipated violence of some kind.
As a juror, based on what I just watched, it would take me at least 45 seconds to acquit the clerk. I don't think the jury (if the case isn't dropped first) will take that long, since I'm a senior citizen and kind of methodical about these things.

Except for the typo, I believe its accurate. (Now, he is in jail...)
Anarcho-tyranny on full display.
Alba then had every reason to believe his life was in danger from the man half his age and who appears to be in pretty good shape.
He should not even be charged. The mother, who then stabbed Alba during the altercation, should instead be charged with ADW.
At least the update is that the judge reduced bail to 50k and the poor clerk’s friends bailed him out.
I’m just concerned he will get a fair trial in NY. Even with video evidence.

This guy’s sin was not giving a bag of chips to a woman who didn’t want to pay for them.
