It was reported last week that Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan District Attorney, was seeking murder charges against Moussa Diarra, a parking garage attendant in Manhattan who had shot a thief in an act of self-defense. However, Bragg has since changed his stance and will no longer pursue charges against Diarra.
The original charges stemmed from an incident in the garage where Diarra worked on West 31st Street, where he encountered a thief peering into cars. Diarra suspected the man of stealing and asked him to reveal the contents of his bag. However, the thief had a gun, and when Diarra tried to grab it, the gun went off, injuring him in the stomach and grazing his ear. Diarra then used the gun to shoot the would-be thief in the chest.
Both Diarra and the would-be robber, 59-year-old Charles Rhodie, faced identical charges of attempted murder, assault, and criminal possession of a weapon, though Rhodie also faced attempted robbery charges.
Diarra was stunned to be facing charges.
“I got bullets in me, and I’m chained to a hospital bed, but I didn’t do anything wrong,” Diarra lamented from his hospital bed, according to a report from the New York Post.
Bragg was also charging the alleged robber, 59-year-old Charles Rhodie, with the same crimes as Diarra, but the charges against Diarra sparked significant outrage.
“One of my first thoughts was a political football, and this gentleman shouldn’t become a political football,” Meyers Parking’s Chief Operating Officer Michael Carolan said.
“Here’s a gentleman who’s just a hardworking individual doing his job,” Carolan said of Diarra. “You just think you’re doing the right thing. The altercation happens because of the other individual, not our guy. He’s reacting.”

Mr. Diarra should file a complaint with the Bar Association, loudly and publicly.
Of course it won’t go anywhere, but that’s not the point.
L
Bragg is a reasonable DA. /s
Diarra’s ethnicity saved him from prosecution. A white guy is in lock-up at Riker’s with this Soros-owned DA.
Orders from on high (Soros). Tamp it down until Trump is ruined. Then, go back to destroying the little guys.
He’s putting all of his eggs in the “Destroy Trump” basket. Once he’s done permanent damage to Trump, he will be amply rewarded. No NY jury is going to let Bragg fail.
If Trump read this story, Bragg will look for a way to charge 45.
Intimidating the law-abiding and encouraging violent criminals. This is exactly the opposite of what a big city DA should be doing.
The Third World DA
The propaganda narrative they want the mind numb to believe in this is; “SEE! Bragg is a fair man”
24/7/365 the propaganda flows like sewage, brainwashing the masses.
...look for it and declare the truth
Wonder how long it will take blacks to realize that Bragg is a clown, puppet of Soros. Soros is using them to promote his globalist vision by destroying and dividing America. This Bragg fool is demeaning to all blacks.
RE: Wonder how long it will take blacks to realize that Bragg is a clown, puppet of Soros
The problem is the media LIKES clown shows. It sells papers and internet views.
In other words, Manhattan District Attorney Bragg charged a hard working Black immigrant with murder because he defended himself and a customer's property!
And, no New York City jury will ever punish Bragg for malicious prosecution.
Trump should ask for a change of venue to Staten Island, which I think has a GOP Congress Person.
On second thought, first, confirm that the Congress Person did not vote for Impeachment, then ask for a change of venue.
Like all major cities, NYC is a dumpster fire.
Women better allow the rapist to rape them or find themselves in jail.
Well, Diarria did steal the gun by force and then shoot an unarmed man. /s
RE: Like all major cities, NYC is a dumpster fire.
And I agree with you. But : 1) I don’t live in NYC, and my county is one of those responsible for flipping Congress in 2022 ( look it up ); 2) 70% od the city’s voters does not constitute EVERYONE in the city.
A conservative in NY is as about as useful a tits on a mule.
