This case of the “Bodega” clerk defending himself is pathetic, but to me epitomizes black privilege that has grown up over the past 50 years. In this Daily Mail article it goes into pretty good detail on the facts of the incident, but the key line was about if there had been no video of the attack the clerk Jose Alba would really be in trouble. The video shows the girlfriend stabbing the clerk 3 times. As they say, you don’t get to “defend” the aggressor.
The Gateway Pundit article goes into more detail and covers it from a different angle. “She had tried to buy a bag of chips but her EBT card was declined as she tried to pay for them. Alba refused to let her have the chips which sent her running in a rage to call her boyfriend for back-up.” Sure it would be great to live in a world where you could give everybody free stuff, even if they couldn’t pay for it, simply because they wanted it. But things wouldn’t last too long doing that.
As I was typing that out, it made me think that’s what the basis of the Democrat Party is: Give people free stuff because they want it. That’s how you end up in a country with over $30 trillion dollars in national debt. Sure it was all laughs and giggles as we went through the decades putting life on a credit card. But then little effects of that started to creep in.
People who are thrifty and save their money haven’t been paid interest for 30 years. If there was an actual interest rate paid, our government would never be able to make payments on the national debt. The only way they are able to do that is with 0%. So we pay the price. With 1 out of the 3 legs of the investment stool removed (cash investments), that destroyed the bond market.
Well guess what? Now that the bond market was destroyed along with cash, stocks no longer had to behave in a competitive environment. They could do what they want. Dividends went bye bye. Stock buybacks enriching management became all the rage. Instead of reinvesting in the company they bled it dry.
Things go to hell when there are no standards and people aren’t held accountable. But back to the “Bodega case”. Its harsh watching it. Your first instinct when ex-con Austin Simon gets stabbed in the neck and bleeds out is, “He didn’t have to do that! He was just getting pushed around a little bit!”
But we don’t know what simple Simon’s intent was. Say he punched Alba who then fell and hit his head on the corner of the counter. What happens then? Say he dies? People would have been sad for about 5 seconds then moved on. Death by another enraged black man, what can you do? Alba showed us, defend yourself. Don’t die at the hands of another enraged black man.
Anytime you see one on the street be on high alert. Don’t let them get within arms length. Cross the street, run away, yell ‘stop!’
