I actually watched the video(s) of the attack. Warning: It is very disgusting. In any event from what I could tell is the kid ran away prior to the attack into the bodega. He jumps over the counter while the owner or cashier looks in disbelief. It seems like he hides their for maybe a minute as numerous gangbangers continue to enter the store. They eventually find him and yank him out of the store. It wasn't like the owner was yelling yo hes right here. The kid seemed to be hidden.
How could the owner predict the level of violence that was going to ensue? There are cameras and this is very public. He couldn't possibly predict that these guys are gonna stab him to death. How many fights have we seen in schools where someone just gets a bit beat up, maybe a concussion, black eye(s), broken nose etc. Thats probably more in line with what the owners thinking.
Ultimately the kid seemingly gets stabbed outfront of the bodega (I'm not sure if this is where it was as he was outside on a sidewalk getting stabbed) by a bunch of wild animals. Eventually they book it the kid whose visibly bleeding all over including from his neck starts running. (I don't think he ran back into the bodega and was like call 911).
I don't understand why they don't just arrest all these fucking idiots with gang tattoos and put them on life sentences. All we need is a judge to set a precedent and / or a legislature change. Put all these gang guys away and throw away the keys. I'm big on incredibly harsh sentences. Kid lost his life. They all should to. Eye for an eye.
I agree - the owner could not know what the gang was about to do.
It's one bullshit article deflecting from what is truly happening - the Brazilization of the US - diversity again not being a strength.
The article and the comments make it out as if the owner was supposed to fight with the other gang-bangers. I would like to see those politicians fight with them without their security backup. And what if he had actually pulled a gun? What if one of them lunged at him and he shot him? He would be the villain - another gentle giant Treyvon Martin Obama-wannabe-son killed dindu nothing.
He called 911 when he could, the other bystanders in the shop also did not do much. The situation even was unclear whether the gang would return and dish out more violence.
In addition I might add - that is endemic of low-trust violent societies. As things deteriorate it becomes ever more common for those things to happen, people not seeing anything, not wanting to interfere for fear of getting killed themselves.
This isn't about race.
