    This store needs to buy a pistol for protection against criminals as this person. They want to stab us we have a right to defend our self. This is allowed every were in the USA and we have a duty to come home save for our wife and children. The only thing i would ask him,the criminal is this: are you Jewish if yes then he needs to go to the rabbi. And not be shot we have to be frumm.

    Hey dude, what good is a gun if someone stabs him when his back is turned????? I would suggest he check the mezuzohs of his store. Hashem is still stronger than a gun!!!!

    Jewish dude says this:other Jewish person,clerk, store manager shoots the criminal and this is self defense last time i looked up self defense in NY city. We have to go home save to our wife and children.Jews are singled out for this kind of stabbing and robing and i cannot call it any other way but a hate crime. For any body else who like to be smart: you see somebody stabbed in the back throat sliced you are obliged to step in and defend this person even on shabat and year round.
