00:00 – Intro
00:40 – Retractions from prior video – correcting errors
01:45 – Watching the footage
02:30 – They “don’t understand” how it’s ok to take an unarmed man’s life
03:01 – Let’s look at Jose Alba
03:35 – Would this criminal have been a bully to someone his own size/age?
04:20 – Louis clarifies the bro code
04:57 – Louis says the quiet part out loud
05:05 – Eric Adams says the quiet part out loud – good on Eric Adams!
06:04 – Mr. Simon didn’t “deserve” to die
06:55 – Reason hits the nail on the head
07:44 – Let’s read & interpret New York law
09:28 – In sane parts of the US, they would’ve thrown Jose a parade.
09:57 – If you want stores to open in your neighborhood, you have to stop simping for the criminal
10:08 – If Simon didn’t deserve to get stabbed for hitting Jose, then why does Jose deserve to be assaulted because he non-violently took back a bag of potato chips?
10:55 – Were these pleasant people?
11:46 – Bodega owners are routinely treated horribly
12:18 – Simon has a boxcutter and this…makes it better?
13:14 – I guarantee people simping for the criminal haven’t bee on Jose’s end of this story before.
13:36 – Conclusion
This is our system. If you plunge a knife in self defense, then you will go to Riker’s until everything is figured out. Just something to keep in mind.
Also, EBT cards are routinely declined because the people who use them don’t know what a budget is to begin with. EBT encourages advantage taking behavior. EBT promotes altercations like the Hamilton Heights incident. If you accept EBT, then you accept the city’s riff-raff coming into your store.
Here in Canada one can only equal amount of force used against an individual. I do not agree with this at all. A criminal can literally walk into a store or your home with a gun and yet we can't defend ourselves because we have the stupidest gun laws. If I kill a guy attacking me then I goto jail for a long time. Just for defending my family or establishment. That Bodega did nothing wrong in my opinion. This is the world we live in. Criminals have more rights then those just trying to earn a living and contribute to society. Liberals just don't get till the threat is at their door. It shouldn't even come to that.
The story should have never been about the self-defense it should have been about the entitlement of people who use violence against people for not getting something for free. What did they expect the clerk to just give them the food for free when they couldn't pay?
people don't understand equivalent force. it isn't equivalent weapons or effort, it is the lethality of the force. the top 3 weapons that kill in the US is #1 handgun, #2 knife, #3 fists. this means that fists are very much lethal, especially in the situation the old guy was in, that means that the old guy could have pulled out a gun and shot him and still have used equivalent force. the specific situation determines how lethal it is, and some old guy versus some young guy probably isn't very good for the old guy. this is why you don't want to pick fights with random people, maybe that person has a condition that allows them to kill you because the fight might kill them. all of this is even completely discarding the protection of property aspect (and in the past people realized that the loss of property could result in death).

Kudos to you for having the balls to say what nobody else with a platform your size will. I am 100% of the same opinion on this.
Jose's charges got cleared? That's a relief

Anyone should be able to use a knife against an attacker. This is not a valid argument. Why would I fight with a disadvantage
Parade for Jose Alba?
Ha! Stay tuned when they name a street for Austin Simon.
Amazing news. Give that man a medal!
Dude definitely did not deserve to be put in Rikers. That is insane. That place is a self defense training ground.
Saw this line recently, "the left cares more about the criminals, than the victims". Definitely seems common especially over there in the US.

The NYC DA has one job……… send EVERYONE to jail
"What he did was not wrong" could not be stated more clearly! 🙂
He had a knife, protected under the 2nd amendment which had it's roots in the right to self defense.
Well said. I appreciate your sane take on the matter.
Louis: being angry at New York for being morons
random penis jokeLouis: 🤭🤭
