Never, ever, give chase.

Her son chased the guy and it’s the bodega worker fault?

[@kingmaafa120]

TRAGIC I’ve been to area many times and to that store 🏬 they take a no nonsense approach okay once in a while you see some ppl in need of help From time to time I’ve helped some ppl out as others helped me out ..

[@SubwayStreetvendorblocki-hn1wy]

Tell the bodega that instead. These grocery stores steal our tax money. They also accept food stamps for beer, that's wrong too on a entirely higher level. That's cheating the governments money . They ALSO refuse to pay taxes for selling loose loosie individual cigarettes. and people are intentionally trespassing into the border, seeking churris without paying taxes and refusing to pay rent in the public space not meant for UNLICENSED street vending.

[@touchebacon1341]

Now this situation is going 2 cause controversy... I have a mixed opinion on this... I hate a thief first of all. But if he (the thief) didnt have a weapon and the store clerk did. How is this self defense? A beer shouldn't have caused someone 2 get killed... Its a crying shame on how this escalated and disputes cant be resolved without violence...

[@rashaunwilliams6121]

Its self defense because without that knife, that man could've gotten seriously hurt, not everyone's a black belt buddy

[@jrkarmagetugud]

​@@rashaunwilliams6121The worker chased the kid, so defense could easily go out the window. Now, the worker is alive and kid is dead, so he could lie his behind off since camera didn't catch the struggle.

i guess he should have considered whether his life was worth more than one beer when he stole it in the USA

The clerk should've decided if his freedom was worth more than one beer when he chose to follow him outside with a knife 🤷🏿‍♀️

@johnsmith4811 there's a difference between legally wrong and morally wrong. I'm sure whatever God he might follow doesn't care is he's not facing charges, and had this went badly for him, neither would his family

@@NeeNee_B. Everyone has their own morals. But everyone obeys the same laws. You may think the clerk is wrong, but I am sure he doesn't think that way. What really matters is the law.

No matter how much we think we know our kids ..we Don't

[@samstone936]

Not a lot of sympathy for the thief. But why is the clerk chasing anybody out the door? Is he a clerk or the owner? And over one beer at that.

[@dorisbove2210]

Because here in New York Bodega owners are struggling, they can't abide by tolerate robbery which leads to the whole neighborhood thinking they can robbed to, so they get fed up as is everybody else in New York.

So the suspect chased the clerk into the street. It was self-defense.

[@stevenmitchell1]

How did you get so confused? The Bodega clerk chased the suspect into the street and then, in the melee, stabbed the suspect to death. No one knows if it was self-defense.
