I remember that guy - Washington Heights, right? It was all caught on security cameras and it was the most open-and-shut self-defense case I could ever imagine, and a complete waste of time to even consider prosecuting.

Jose Alba, that fiasco is well-known in New York. Alba still hasn't recovered psychologically and may have already returned to the Dominican Republican, where he's from.

The Post gets a lot of shit but if they hadn't dug up and publicized the security footage it's possible Alba would still be sitting in jail.

P.S. Trump visited the bodega where Alba worked. I don't think Biden was even made aware of it.

While the Post is generally crappy, IтАЩm glad theyтАЩre at least covering local stories.

The Post is like 95% garbage and 5% legitimately important journalism. They broke the Hunter Biden story and were really the only ones covering it while the rest of American media desperately attempted to sweep it under the rug.

The Post has a lot of garbage but also covers crime and degrading city conditions the NYT spikes in favor a restaurant reviews.

They've also been much more on top of the migrant crisis and various shenanigans in NYCHA, MTA, and other city utilities.
