The New York bodega owner who killed a rampaging thug in self-defense won't face a murder trial after all.

New York City's District Attorney Alvin Bragg dropped a second-degree murder charge against Jose Alba, who struggled with the assailant and his crazy girlfriend.

The murder charge was such an outrage that even leftist mayor Eric Adams condemned the prosecutor for jailing the innocent man.

But Alba never should have been charged; it's likely the prosecutor, one of the many "Soros prosecutors" elected nationwide who are not enforcing the law against black suspects, wanted to find out how far he could push the leftist legal agenda called anarcho-tyranny.

Homicidal Maniac

The trouble for Alba began when a 32-year-old woman claimed that "Alba grabbed [potato chips] out of her daughter's hand" after the store turned down her EBT card, the New York Post reported. "So she knocked over items on the counter and ran home to get [boyfriend Austin] Simon, who stormed into the bodega and attacked Alba about 10 minutes later."
