"How dare you defend yourself!"

A Manhattan parking garage attendant who was shot twice while confronting an alleged thief — then wrestled the gun away and opened fire on the suspect — has been charged with attempted murder, police said.

The overnight worker, identified by cops as Moussa Diarra, 57, was also hit with assault and criminal possession of a weapon charge in the Saturday incident, which unfolded around 5:30 a.m. as the attendant saw a man peering into cars on the second floor of the West 31st Street garage, the sources said.

Nope, never mind. The DA backtracked.

The Manhattan DA's office run buy Alvin Bragg U-turned on Sunday by saying it would not charge a garage security guard who shot a suspected thief on Saturday.

  1. The Daily Mail puts up an immediate block. If you can find some other news outlet, it would be greatly appreciated.

    2. He asked for another news link because the Daily Mail link was blocked, so you provided him with..... a Daily Mail link. Not only that, but it was the exact same link in my post.

    3. The link works just fine, Ken. The problem is boron's, not the Daily Mail's.

    4. No, the problem is boron's probably from the UK and their government censors articles that are controversial or have certain keywords in them, even though it's a UK based news publisher.

  2. Alvin wouldn't qualify as a janitor much less a DA.

    1. Bragg should be put to work picking cotton, but I don’t think he’d last more than a bushel’s worth in the Georgia sun.

  3. Real criminals and real crime is ignored.
    They did the same thing with that bedega (sp?) worker who was being overhauled by the dindu and managed to fatally stab him in the temple in self defense. The initial inclination is to charge the innocent, only a public outcry gets the charges dropped, for now. I look forward to the day when the city of New York is a smoldering ash heap. It cannot arrive soon enough for me.

  4. Bragg is a piece of trash and needs to be gifted a new necktie.

  5. Isn't Affirmative Action wonderful? If not for AA, Bragg would be doing drive up drive window gigs every month after his welfare cards run out.

  6. The Army is so pissed at Alvin that they're changing the name of Fort Bragg to Fort Liberty soon. That'll show him.

  9. Surprised the garage attendant wasn't charged with the possession of a stolen firearm.

    1. Close. Before the DA was forced to back down, the attendant was charged with "criminal possession of a weapon." Wresting a weapon from your would-be murderer is a crime, apparently.

    2. That part of the charge flabbergasted me, Crabby.

  10. The garage attendant was probably a Muslim.

    Muslim outranks Black in the protected classes category.

    And public officials fear assassination by Muslims. With good reason.

  11. Most likely the fact that the good guy was charged will be on his criminal record forever, unless the good guy gets a really good lawyer to force the court system to remove it.
