this is the da that's going after the orange man and just one more bit of evidence of his corruption or ignorance or both;

Remember the case of Jose Alba? He was the New York bodega clerk who defended himself with a knife against against a man who came behind the store’s counter and attacked him. The confrontation was caught on video. The attacker died and Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg tossed Alba into a cell on Rikers Island and then charged him with murder.

That brought a rain of condemnation down on Bragg from everyone in New York City from the average guy on the street up to and including Mayor Eric Adams. No one could believe that the man who entered office by downgrading felonies to misdemeanors and refusing to enforce huge portions of the criminal code decided to charge a man with murder for clearly defending himself.

Bragg, being the political creature he is, eventually managed to read the room and dropped the charges against Alba. Now, however, he’s decided to pick on another working class victim who successfully defended himself, this time with a gun.

A 57-year-old parking garage attendant, Moussa Diarra, confronted a thief yesterday and was shot twice. He still managed to wrestle the gun away from his attacker and returned fire. That has resulted in charges of attempted murder, assault and — get this — criminal possession of a weapon.
