The law enforcement source points out the owner let the teen seek a safe haven behind the counter.
“The owner is getting a bum rap,” the source told PIX11, referring to the mass calls that followed for the bodega to be shut down.
The alleged gang members who burst into the store seeking Junior were armed with knives.
The source revealed to PIX11 the suspects told the bodega owner to stop protecting Junior, making sensational claims like, “He robbed my grandmother. He shot my mother.”
I watched that video and its going to be hard to convince me that he was trying to hide him. He was trying to keep him from jumping over the counter. The bodega seemed like he just wanted to avoid problems that is where the minds were at. I do not judge their behavior. I believe their conscious will be enough for them to handle. I can already hear it in the owners voice. No need to Monday morning quarterback this. We know who needs punishment.
