Video shows gangster's girlfriend pulled knife from bag and stabbed NYC bodega worker, 61, as he defended himself in dispute over $3: Fury as store worker is charged with murder for stabbing assailant while woman walks away scot free
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Jose Alba stabbed Austin Simon to death on July 1 in a row over a bag of chips

  • Simon's girlfriend's card was declined as she tried to pay for the snacks

  • Alba, 61, refused to let her have the chips for free and she called Simon for back-up

  • Simon, who was on parole for attacking a cop at the time, charged into the bodega and went behind the counter

  • He confronted Alba, demanding an apology, then dragged him out

  • Alba then used the store's boxcutter to stab him in the neck and the chest

  • Simon's girlfriend produced her own knife and slashed Alba in the arm

  • She hasn't been charged but Alba was charged with 2nd degree murder

  • His bond was lowered last week following public outcry over the woke DA's decision to prosecute him

  • Jose Alba is from the Dominican Republic and became a US citizen 14 years ago

Even worse than being a 'white' Hispanic, the guy is also an American. I hope he has a good lawyer.
