Kyle Rittenhouse Was Right As New York DA Drops Murder Charge Against Bodega Worker Jose Alba

Kyle Rittenhouse was right to give wrongly accused bodega worker, Jose Alba, hope that justice would prevail. And today, in a Dem city where justice has lost its way, justice won. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg finally moved to drop the murder charge filed against the bodega worker who was defending himself from a career criminal.

The DA’s office said it had filed a motion in Manhattan Criminal Court to dismiss the case against the 61-year-old bodega worker because it found it couldn’t prove the “defendant was not justified in his use of deadly physical force.”

The DA wrote: “One potential defense is that Alba reasonably believed that Simon was about to use deadly physical force. The law provides that a person may use deadly physical force to defend oneself if the person reasonably believes that another person is using or about to use deadly physical force.

“Simon’s conduct in entering the store’s small, private area, throwing Alba against the wall to a place he could not escape, and grabbing him by the collar could inspire deep fear in an older and shorter man as to what might be in store next.

“This was also in the context of the girlfriend saying five minutes earlier that her boyfriend was going to ‘come down here right now and f–k you up’,” the DA wrote.

Kyle Rittenhouse broke his silence with a message of hope to Jose Alba, a New York City bodega worker who was charged with murder by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg despite the fact that Alba was clearly defending himself from an attack.

Kyle said earlier: “Self-defense isn’t a crime.

“Don’t give up hope Jose, I am living proof that the truth can prevail.”

“Outnumbered” co-host Kayleigh McEnany said:

“I feel like I’m in the Twilight Zone. What kind of sick, twisted place are we sitting in here in the middle of New York City, where this man who is defending himself is put in jail? 

“Simon came back reportedly about 10 minutes later with a mission to confront this individual, as you point out, shoved him against a wall. 

“As you point out, grabbed him on the back of a neck. And all he did was defend himself. Alba has no criminal history. He’s just a good, hardworking person who immigrated to this country and has been a law-abiding citizen. 

“Thank goodness we live in a country that’s trial by jury. I hope these charges are dropped,” she said.
