He's not "claiming" self defense!
It "was" self defense.
(He should just be thankful he's not white…or he'd really be in trouble lol)
I don't even see how this is a problem. We all LITERALLY see in the video that dude came behind the camera and put his hands on him first. Plus dude can't even speak English so he was probably extremely scared which I probably would too. Dude is owed an apology because they blew this up completely trying to paint Alba in a bad light
What do you mean he's claiming?! This is CLEARLY self defense! He shouldn't have to claim anything!
Give Alba a parade and a medal of honor and a key to the city!!
God for the clerk
New York like actually WTF?!
He deserves an award for removing another low life out of the streets. Way to go👍👍👍
Running a store is hard and not safe but someone has to do it for our needs. Basically Alba is a civil servant whos life was threatened. Don't punish this guy at all. Otherwise more customers will do the same thinking thwy can comw behind counters and physically hurt workers and more death. I worked a convenient store for years alone, the abuse and laws we have to follow don't protect us enough. This guy behind counter was calm, way calm before he took box cutter from girlfriend who also attacked him. Good grief! Remove albas bail, why are you punishing him anyway? He deserves a medal. No more! You threaten employees, they defend themselves. Period. Don't walk behind counters! Go to another store! Sorry the kid died, but he made a conscious decision to harm worker. Zero tolerance!!!
Self-defense is illegal in NYC. Don't call police either, they got defunded.
The customer shoved the elderly clerk so hard that the poor old man hit his head, then the customer's gf cut the old man with a knife – just because her card was declined – so HOW is the abused elder at fault??? Once a customer goes behind the counter, that means danger to any clerk.
Anyone at that age is at risk, and should have “space rights” as a defense. Number one. After physical altercation, they definitely should be able to protect themselves.
Now that guy is resting, awaiting the second resurrection.
Bernard Getz must be proud of this Bodega clerk as we all are.
Bodega clerk for the win.
I think we strictly need good highschool diplomas for everyone
That's the only way we can bring sort of a beautiful peace to this planet
Sadly few if any here seem to understand this…
Austin Simon? I guess names don't determine your future😂🤣
Stop protecting the criminals. Alba didn’t ask for this. Dude coming into clerks area and pushing him declares war. Got what he had coming.
legacy news is responsible for all this… they made society break down
He is trapped in the corner!!!
It’s “Death Wish” the musical!
It is pretty despicable for you can see the look on his face after he gets pushed down where he just looks defeated like shucks I really didn’t wanna have to stab somebody to death today
🌬📢 🥔 Chips in the bodegas are 25-50 cents. Why didn't 🥴le head acknowledge the child & say, 🤔k pay me later .besides th@tz the legacy 🧐f bodegas aka c🤨rner stores. Even further, why didn't the angry dad just p@y for the items?
Instead, whut tf wz the f😨cus?
That woman who stabbed the clerk should’ve been charged!!!
