... 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?

It's in NYC. New York state has the idiocy called "duty to retreat" in it which basically means if you have any possible chance to run away from the person attacking you then you are obligated to take that rather than trying to defend yourself. I'm willing to be that argument in court is going to be that since Alba was able to push past Simon to get the knife (as seen in the video) then he should have kept moving in that direction and run away instead.

Doesn't look like he had to push past him at all to me. Looks like Simon picks him up by the scruff of his collar and starts marching him out, and Alba grabs the knife as he's being pushed past it.
