A Manhattan bodega worker charged with murder tried to avoid the confrontation that led to him being thrown behind bars after he fatally stabbed a customer, new video shows.

The woman goes on to say “I’m gonna bring my n– down here and he gonna f–k you up. My n— is gonna come down here right now and f–k you up!”

Alba says “That’s not my fault, it’s not working.” He continues to ring up sales, telling one customer of the girlfriend, “She don’t have money.”

Will be interesting to see how this goes. Blacks are a protected class and defending yourself against them could have dire consequences.

Don’t “dis” the RATS’ criminals. The Snowflakes are so proud of them. Kill one of them while they are in the act of committing a crime and you’re toast.

So Alba was stabbed four times in the attack and he went to jail?

He ,illegal a hero to the left, and they Wil. Never forgive him for it, because he isn’t the right color to them.

Rudy’s son shoda ran for Mayor instead of Governor. Hire dad as an unpaid(or paid) ‘consultant’.

La Beefa didn’t like it when her EBT card was refused, and the real victim of this event didn’t just let them steal the merchandise. She directly threatened him and then made good on her threat. She aimed her low-IQ baby daddy and turned him loose on the victim like a pit bull. Fortunately, he got schooled and is taking a justified dirt nap.

The arrest of the victim is a travesty of justice. Noo Yawk is a third world cesspool, directly because of decades of liberal government. Let’s hope for solid defense work, at least one intelligent juror, and for huge public pressure to be brought to bear. Let justice be done.

[Bob434]

Agreed.

Facing Public Backlash Manhattan DA Lowers Bail for 61-Year-Old Convenience Store Clerk, Jose Alba, in Clear Self Defense Case

July 7, 2022 | Sundance | 356 Comments

The Safari Rules are surfacing again….

Jose Alba, 61, was working at Hamilton Heights Grocery on Broadway when a 35-year-old career criminal and ex-con, Austin Simon, stormed behind the counter and shoved him into a wall.  Austin Simon then continued to aggressively push Alba around, when the clerk grabbed a knife to defend himself and stabbed his attacker, Simon.

The entire incident was captured on CCTV footage [SEE HERE, Rumble], and the series of events were triggered when Simon’s girlfriend did not have enough money for her purchase and Jose Alba would not let her just take it without paying.  The boyfriend, Austin Simon, then enters the store, walks behind the counter and begins assaulting the 61-year-old Mr. Alba.  After a few minutes of being shoved and pushed around, Alba then grabbed a knife and stabbed Simon.  The attacker died of his injuries.  The store clerk was arrested by police, charged with murder and sent to jail with a $500,000 bail.

New York – The hard-working Manhattan bodega worker who was languishing on Rikers Island after being charged with murder for fending off a violent ex-con inside his store could be home as soon as Thursday night after a judge agreed to lower his hefty bail.

Jose Alba, who was being held on $250,000 bail in the Friday night caught-on-video attack, is due to be sprung after Manhattan prosecutors asked a judge to lower the amount to $50,000 — with relatives and Alba’s boss putting up the $5,000 needed to spring him on a bail bond. 

Alba’s attorney, Danielle Jackson of Neighborhood Defender Service of Harlem, assured the judge that her client was going nowhere.

“He has every intention to return to court and defend this case,” Jackson said.

Prosecutors with District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office had initially requested that Alba be held on $500,000 bail at his arraignment Saturday, citing a planned trip to the Dominican Republic next week as proof that he was a flight risk.

In court, Manhattan prosecutors charged Alba with second-degree murder, but refused to file charges against Simon’s girlfriend for stabbing the bodega worker.

More than 20 relatives and supporters packed the courtroom for the video-feed court hearing in support of the beleaguered bodega worker.

Simon’s family, meanwhile, stormed out of court in tears, with his sister saying, that he “was murdered in cold blood.”  “If the shoe was on the other foot my brother wouldn’t have gotten bail or bond or nothing,” she said.  (read more)

Unfortunately, there is a racial component to this as blacks and Latinos have historically been two groups with friction between them.   Then overlay the black grievance industry, and the last decade of efforts to excuse any amount of criminal conduct by black males, and the narrative becomes very familiar. 

It’s the “Safari Principle.”

Essentially, the rules of the safari say you should remain indoors, or in a locked vehicle, when there are predators (young black males) in the vicinity.  If you exit your vehicle in the safari, or otherwise engage the predators, they are not to blame for your injury or death.  This social acceptance of black violence is part of the reparations process advanced by progressives and leftists.

Under the rules of the safari, you are not allowed to defend yourself from any predatory attack, and all attacks are triggered by the behavior of the victim when the attack starts.  Famously another Latino named George Zimmerman was arrested by an activist prosecutor in Florida for defending himself against an attack by a black male named Trayvon Martin.

Police Officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson Missouri also learned the rules of the safari when he was attacked by another black male named Michael Brown.  Wilson shot and killed Brown after the predator attacked him in his vehicle; however, Wilson was run out of town by angry mob who wanted him arrested for defending himself and doing his job.

As the Safari Rules have continued to evolve under the culturally Marxist advancements by Black Lives Matter, the current rules emphasize that all black male predators are to be excused for their violent behavior immediately and no self-defense is permitted.

Mr. Jose Alba has now entered into the Safari Rules legal process.

Minor Issue on a Serious Topic:
Why the insistence on describing that business as a “bodega” instead of simply what it is, which is a small store or snack shop?
Is that how New Yorkers describe all such shops?

The best thing we as whites can do is avoid the niglets at every chance. I was in D.C. for a funeral at Arlington and riding the Metro back to the hotel one tried to trip me in the aisle and then began talking smack trying to bring on a confrontation. I held my anger back noting that there were several of them baiting whites so they could jump one. When we got off the niglets ran and jumped the pay booth and the black guard just ignored them and allowed it. I saw several other instances such as this while I was there for just four days. At all of the venues in D.C. I also noted only one white guard and he was Asian.

But perhaps the strangest concept for visitors to understand is that bodegas are neighborhood landmarks. Locals often know the owners and workers, and can sometimes count on these stores to accept packages and hold onto keys for visitors in lieu of a doorman. They’re open 24/7, and therefore very reliable. Many of these store owners are more than happy to help, and it’s common practice to pay a small thank-you fee for any not-strictly-bodega-related activity.

From the site. Interesting. wonder what the local response to this is?

Guy was wearing a 300 dollar tee shirt...

C'mon man. Inflation is bad, but even so, is there really such a thing a $300 tee shirt?

Worthy of much thought. I wonder what could have been done differently in South Africa?

That sounds like the generic and slightly antiquated title of a “General Store”: one that has other features for customer convenience, such as post office lockers or telegrams.
