I have been to this CVS store many times and the employees there are extremely kind. This biased news story portrays this event like an evil CVS employee killed a wonderful customer without reason. What actually happened was a drugged out criminal was robbing the place and the hero CVS employee protected himself and possibly saved the lives of his coworkers along with innocent customers. Instead of being charged with murder, this CVS Employee should be considered a hero and win Employee of the Month.

I used to live in Midtown and let me tell you these employees have some of the hardest jobs dealing with the mentally disturbed, shoplifters and just generally unpleasant people!

[evanbrad]

Man, if I was president I would pardon him ASAP, stand ur ground should be legal everywhere!

[sougou]

Well people are tired of the lawlessness of this city . Hope the employees has a gofundme we should all contribute

[tremblence]

Well--- don't steal LIKE A COCKROACH
And you won't face the wrath of angry victims
Perhaps this guy has been robbed at gunpoint, and was SICK of robbers with no remorse

Murder has to be premeditated... Robbery in progress? Sounds like the CVS worker was STOPPING a crime! Not committing one.

I bet you he was fed up with these Iow Iives

Why do I feel like they’re leaving out the fact that the customer was probably the aggressor and the employee was defending himself.

You know the employee did nothing wrong

[charlespittsjr]

The employee defended himself. Why do yall love your criminals so much? News is about words and context you miss used both by not telling the truth and the whole story.

I think the homeless and shop lifters should allowed to run wild at the DA’s office and city hall to steal everything not nailed down and see how Alvin Bragg and Eric Adams like it.

[raylegend]

They are sick and tired of these thugs and criminals stealing everyday

[briankroger]

The employee was defending himself from a black attacker, so of course he was arrested.

[GOLDZZK]

Wait a min. Was it a robbery in progress and the guy who was robbing the store was stabbed and became a victim and the employee who tried to stop the robbery became a murderer? What shame NYC!

[neckarsulme]

I think the headline should be "Lunatic robber killed while trying to rob and injure store workers"

[tonycastro]

This what happens when u dont have law in order

[markreynolds]

CVS won't back him guaranteed. I hope he gets through this without more severe consequences. Wasn't there, haven't seen a video, news doxxing the employee... but something tells me he didn't wake up that morning with a plan to stab a lifelong criminal to death.
