Just The News: Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg dropped the controversial murder charge against New York City bodega worker Jose Alba.
The DA’s office confirmed to the New York Post on Monday that it had filed a motion in Manhattan Criminal Court to dismiss the charge against the 61-year-old man after video of the incident surfaced.
The prosecutor could not prove that the “defendant was not justified in his use of deadly physical force,” Bragg’s office stated.
Alba was charged after the fatal stabbing of Austin Simon, a 35-year-old convicted violent felon who attacked him inside his bodega on July 1.
Alba was being held at Rikers Island on $250,000 bond. more here
Hurrah! It’s about time! Obvious self-defense.
If he’d had been White, they would have had him killed in prison and doxxed his family to the robbers hommies.
Gee. Thanks FATSO.
Prog-Com to English Translation:
“On realizing that Jose Alba isn’t white and that many of the people in the city who normally vote democrat didn’t agree with our agenda to railroad him for a case of obvious self-defense, we reluctantly dropped the charges.”
He’d gotten into deep do do if the video hadn’t showed up.
What’s a bodega?
We’ll know they really mean it when they present him with a medal for heroism and for taking out the trash.
What the hell does the left have against self defense?

“What the hell does the left have against self defense?”
…a man with ballz enough to defend himself against ordinary robbers might get some funny ideas that he might also be able to defend himself against official Government robbers.
You know, like the Founders did.
aka ‘UNCLE ALVIN BRAGG’ when he charges those such as Mr. Alba with murder who defend themselves against violent criminals but sets free the violent perps.
but keep letting the gros run free, like yo sistas foxx, gardner, rollins, etc.
Now arrest the woman who stabbed Alba in the arm [and started this whole incident] for assault with a deadly weapon.
That’s spelled “bogatas”, you illiterate non-doctor person.
