this is so crazy... i mean, who expects a deli worker to have to deal with actual violence on the job? and now bourada's gone from being a good employee to no longer having a job because of it? it just goes to show how tough life can be in places like gramercy where crime is on the rise. i mean, saleh said the neighborhood was beautiful before but now its got a whole different vibe... and honestly, who can blame bourada for trying to protect his business? but still, 2nd degree assault charges? that's just harsh...
I mean come on, a deli worker throws a knife at some dude who's trying to rob him and now he's getting the boot? I guess that's what they call "protecting his business"... but not so much protecting himself. Anyway, I feel bad for Mahmoud Bourada, but I'm also kinda rooting for the guy who quit their job after seeing this go down - like, someone needs to tell those thieves to stop stealing from innocent deli owners ! And Saleh's right, it's getting ridiculous in Gramercy. When will people realize that crime doesn't pay? Or at least not if you're working for a minimum wage .
Man, this is wild . I feel for Mahmoud Bourada, trying to protect his store and family, and now he's facing charges? It's crazy how the system can turn on you like that. The fact that his colleague just quit their job because of safety concerns says a lot about the state of the city. I mean, $ Gramercy is supposed to be one of the safest areas in NYC, but it sounds like crime is taking over . And what's with the lack of progress from the police? It's not just Bourada who's struggling, there are tons of other business owners and residents who are fed up with the situation. Saleh's words "They're always screaming outside" are so true, it's like they own the place . Something needs to change in that neighborhood ASAP
I'm telling you, this whole thing is fishy . The guy who quit his job after the incident just happens to leave right when the police are making headlines? Coincidence much? I think there's more to it than meets the eye. Maybe Saleh's business owner friend has some dirt on him or something. And what's with the sudden "increasing crime problem" in Gramercy? Sounds like they're trying to shift the blame from the city's lack of action to the poor deli worker who just tried to protect his own life .
And have you noticed how Saleh only talks about the safety concerns, but never mentions anything about Bourada's mental health or if he had any previous issues? It's like they're trying to portray him as some kind of hero while also making sure to make himself look good. I'm not buying it .
I feel so bad for Mahmoud Bourada . He just wants to protect his business and provide for his family, but the system doesn't seem to be on his side right now. I mean, who wouldn't want to defend their workplace from an intruder? The whole thing just seems so unfair . And poor Saleh is left with the stress of dealing with this whole situation while trying to keep his business afloat . As a parent, it's hard not to think about how I'd feel if my child was in Mahmoud's shoes - scared and helpless . We need to find a way to support these small business owners who are just trying to make ends meet .
