Yeah like I said it was a bad execution but I’d absolutely stab to disarm or ward someone off if I felt I was in immediate danger

A slow painful death?

I’m not defending the murder because obviously it was way more than necessary but the amount of videos and headlines I’ve seen surrounding a petty argument escalating very quickly into a bullet to the head helps me understand the paranoia a store clerk would have in a bad neighborhood

Guy absolutely deserves 25 to life for this tho. You don’t kill someone that isn’t actively trying to kill you. And even then you aim to disarm. This is some police officer s*** fr

dying over a bag of chips holy f***

gtfo the old man didnt disrespect anyone. That woman couldnt pay for s***, started an argument and knocked s*** over bevore leaving the store. Then her bum boyfriend wants to beat the s*** out of a 50 year old man ???

Old people in general are bitter when they’re out. Having worked as a cashier when I was in college they’re the worst and rude af. He probably thought he could get away with being a d*** to a child cause he’s old. I would never even try to take something from somebody’s child, I’d direct all of my s*** toward the parent it’s their job to get the chips they can’t buy. My mom went off on a security guard for just yelling at me when I was young cause he thought I was trying to steal some s***.

On the other hand you can’t go and beat up an old person cause even if this didn’t go down the way it didn’t, there’s the possibility of seriously injuring or even killing them with minimum effort. Plus shouldn’t just go getting into fights in general that you can avoid cause you never know what can happen.

25 to life?

The whole situation is stupid and it's sad it ended in death but the old dude was just defending himself

taking chips away from a child is not f***ing abuse lmao The child didn't own the chips and in the middle of an argument, when the customer can't pay, i can totally see getting fed up of the situation.

So the bodega worker disrespected the mother and child because they wouldn't give away free product?

Cmon man

Why wouldn't the mom just walk away? Why did she go and get her bf? Ultimately the guy was just doing his job and protecting himself. If anyone is to blame for this tragic death its the mom

Yeah it’s not. He technically did nothing wrong but that is still rude and unprofessional to act like that with customers. You gotta be above that. And again u put out that aggressive energy and it can be returned back to you

It was his girl that initiated everything. She even stabbed the bodega worker and avoided jail time

Lol how the f*** is that worth dying over? Everyone would’ve forgotten about this by the next day if dude would’ve just stayed home

That wasn’t even his kid

No reason he should take a whoopin imo

Just speculating now but would he have done that if the father was there instead of the mother?

Regardless I’m not gonna behave like that when my card declines personally, so if you snatch something out my hand or my child’s hand imma feel a certain way. Definitely not going back to whatever place that is

Ofc the mother is still in the wrong for acting that way

He took a life with no reason to. Same should go for any cop that does the same. There needs to be a standard set

yea i wouldn’t defend him killing the guy but i get it

at his age getting pushed down and having the guy in his face he probably thought it was a life or death thing for him and had that adrenaline kicking in

so he would’ve done the right thing in that scenario doing and grabbing whatever it takes to make it out but i don’t think it was that type of deal, but we’ll never know how it could’ve went differently

It's not like they were standing around having a civil conversation and he just started stabbing. The guy bum rushed the counter, that alone would get him shot by a lot of cashiers

Then on top of that he knocks the old guy down, has him cornered and is clearly talking a ton of s***. Anything the cashier does at that point is fair game.

It wasn’t necessarily right that he stabbed dude to death but if you’re gonna assault someone gotta face the consequences

My card got declined this morning cause some of these upscale spots don’t accept stupid ass discover cards. Woman was nice as hell about it and I just paid in cash. It’s a matter of environment imo. Everybody in any hood is stressed out at all times
