This is all around a sad story.
And an infuriating one.
You may recall Jose Alba, the Manhattan bodega worker charged with murder after grabbing a knife and killing the violent ex-con who attacked him.
Public pressure later forced George Soros-funded district attorney Alvin Bragg to drop the charges and release Alba from New York’s notorious Rikers Island jail, where he initially had been held on $250,000 bail (half what Bragg’s office wanted).

Traumatized by the attack, stabbing and his criminal “justice” encounter, Alba is leaving the U.S. and returning to the Dominican Republic, perhaps permanently, according to the New York Post.
While district attorney Bragg is quick to go after a man defending himself, many New Yorkers are fed up with his otherwise soft-on-crime stance and want him gone, the Post reported.
Following his ordeal, Alba has taken a low profile, initially escaping to the tranquility of upstate New York.

“He is not going back to work at the bodega,” according to Francisco Marte, who heads a bodega association assisting Alba. “He is taking a break fighting with his trauma, and he said he is afraid for his life.
“He is trying to get back to normal, but he said it’s very hard when you have flashbacks of what happened. We are getting him professional help.”
“The scars will be there for life. It’s going to be a reminder of what happened and the tragedy he went through.”
Marte said Alba and his family will decide if Alba goes to the Dominican Republic temporarily or permanently.
On July 1, Alba was working behind the counter of the bodega and got into an argument with a woman over payment for a bag of chips.
