If the guard didn’t have the right to take it, police should have been called. Dude had no right to attack the guard.

I see you are another law school flunky. The New York Penal code says that if you use physical force against someone who is trying to recover property which you have stolen, then you are guilty of Third Degree Robbery. Look it up.

Thanks for that P-M. Do you happen to know the NYC code on what is considered private property outside a building? I assume that there is a public right-of-way up to the building, but is the sidewalk owned by the city or is it owned by the building and maintained by the city?

Although, I'm starting to get the impression that at least some on here don't believe a person has any legal rights unless they can prove citizenship.

I would be willing to bet that NYC issued a permit for protesters outside Trump Tower yesterday because the NYPD is typically really good at shutting down such gatherings if they don't have permits.

You’re full of it. Show me in the penal code where it says the illegal can use physical force against the guard. Seems like you’re glossing over that for some reason. I wonder why you are completely ignoring the part where the illegal grabs the guard (by his weapon no less), thereby forcing the smackdown.

I guess we’ll have to wait for the lawsuit that will inevitably be filed by the illegal. That is, unless he wants to stay in the shadows.
