... so, just to check, it's being argued here by the progressive media that Austin Simon, as a person of colour, bears no responsibility for his enraged attack on a shop worker over a bag of crisps, and that Jose Alba, being able to see Simon's skin colour, should have deduced either low IQ or poor impulse control and let the guy's tantrum play itself out rather than defend himself, even as he's being thrown into shop fixtures.
You know, when progressive media collapses, these guys could probably get a gig writing for Stormfront...
Don't forget the DA and NYPD. They charged him with murder for defending himself. That fucking shithole really needs a few more Category 5 hurricanes to spruce it up.
I would be interested to see what angle they're taking here, given that Alba was being physically assaulted by Simon at the time...
The only one I can think of is some shitheel DA asserting that because Alba had a knife within reach it was premeditated or something.
I mean, I'm sure it was premeditated. No doubt at all in my mind that Alba deliberately and consciously intended to open some boxes or something along those lines. Kind of thing you use a knife for, you know?
Honestly, this is a really sketching killing. I never saw one act of lethal force used by Simon. Now, maybe Simon was yelling something about how he'd kill him or something, but if Alba was not being threatened with being killed, and this was (effectively) a strong arm robbery for a bag of chips, there's a real liklihood that this really does warrant a murder charge.
If a guy shoves you, and gets in your face, and calls you a bitch, you actually can't just plunge a knife in his throat, and you are likely to get hit with a charge of murder. Generally, if someone is engaging in simple battery, you can't just start blasting.
Especially, if Alba told the police: "Yeah, as soon as he shoved me, I was gonna get the knife", that would do it for the premeditation.
I'm not honestly sure on that point. As described, Simon is shoving Alba into bits of shop furniture. I imagine he's not being too careful about it, either, so I can easily picture somebody genuinely being worried about being smashed back into something hard enough to knock them out, at which point you're entirely dependent upon your assailant's charity.
