Here's a story from over the weekend. At about 5 a.m. on Saturday morning in Manhattan, a parking garage attendant called Moussa Diarra noticed a man peering into parked cars looking for things to steal. Now, that's a familiar scene in New York City. Alvin Bragg, who is the local Soros-funded D.A., has decided that prosecuting car burglaries is a form of white supremacy. As a result, not surprisingly, car burglaries have risen quite a bit.
Moussa Diarra, the attendant is not White, but apparently, he's sick of watching other people get robbed. So, he told the man to get out, leave the garage. In response, the man pulled out a handgun and fired four times. He hit him in the head and the stomach. It was a nightmare. But somehow, Moussa Diarra had the presence of mind to wrestle the gun from the man and then fire back before the man could shoot him or anyone else. By the time police arrived, both men were lying on the sidewalk, bleeding.
Now, what do you think happened next? In a scene, self-respecting society Moussa Diarra would have received a medal if not a ticker tape parade, but in the city of New York, he was arrested and charged with attempted murder and illegal possession of a gun – the same gun that had been used to shoot him. Diarra woke up in Bellevue Hospital shackled to his bed. The New York Post ran this picture of him sobbing. "I got bullets in me and I'm chained to a hospital bed," he said. "But I didn't do anything wrong."
You can imagine his confusion. This was not the country he expected and in fact, Moussa Diarra is exactly the kind of person you want more of in your country. He's 57 years old, and he's still working harder than most young people do. In fact, when New York shut down during COVID, as lawyers and nonprofit executives hid in their apartments living on DoorDash and stockpiling surgical masks from Amazon, Diarra went to work every day like Americans used to. |
