Criminals don’t like citizens having the ability to stop them from harming you. Liberals believe that you should have to almost die in order to be justified in self defense.
In the Criminal Code of 1926 there was a most stupid Article 139—‘on the limits of necessary self-defense’—according to which you had the right to unsheath your knife only after the criminal's knife was hovering over you. And you could stab him only after he had stabbed you.

Even in the Soviet Union what Jose Alba did would have been a clear case of self defense. Instead, in the modern United States, you have criminals being set free while responsible, law abiding citizens are harshly punished.
