Such a terrible story all around. These punks should never be free the rest of their natural born lives, and I wish capital punishment was a legitimate option here in NY because they don’t deserve to live.
The girl that set him up or whatever also needs charges brought up on her.
I understand why people are upset with the store owner but it’s really difficult to say what he should have done after the fact. We don’t even know what he did/didn’t do.
Even if he gave him up as they were leaving (not sure if that’s exactly what happened), how could he have known they were going to stab him to death. When he came back in hemorrhaging, I’m sure he was scared for his life too, not knowing where the attackers were. As unqualified as he is, I’m not sure he could have done anything to actually save him.
I agree that the store owner was wrong and could have done something, but for some to suggest he is as guilty as the guys who did this is pretty ludicrous.
These perpetrators are not human beings. They are animals who do not belong in society ever again. They don’t deserve the resources that will be used to bring justice against them and live the rest of their miserable lives behind bars.
