Three cheers for the Manhattan jury that quickly acquitted CVS clerk Scotty Enoe of manslaughter for defending himself and his fellow employees against a deranged serial shoplifter.
This case should never have come to trial. Enoe should have been hailed as a hero instead of being charged by the execrable Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
Indeed, if there was ever a clear-cut case of self-defense, this was it.
Enoe was attacked from behind by Charles Brito, who began to beat him savagely.
Outmatched by the brute and fearing for his life, Enoe took out a small folding knife and stabbed him in the liver.
Brito staggered onto the sidewalk and later died.
Enoe’s co-workers, too, they were afraid of Brito, who had threatened to kill someone, yet Bragg pursued the case anyway.
We saw this with Jose Alba and Daniel Penny, both charged with manslaughter by Bragg when — in self-defense — they killed people who were violent, unstable and threatening them or others nearby.
Bragg dropped the charges against Alba when public pressure became too great.
Penny was acquitted.

The problem is that the DA believes crime is caused by social ills, and the attackers are the real victims.
Cases like this one — and the leniency he’s shown to real criminals — send a message that law-breakers are free to pursue their wicked calling, and citizens just have to sit back and take it.
There’s no other way to explain why he continues to charge hard-working New Yorkers and subway passengers with serious crimes when ugly situations are thrust upon them, while allowing criminals off easy.
This Enoe acquittal drives home the point yet again: Alvin Bragg needs to go — ASAP.
The sooner voters ditch him at the polls, the safer this city will become.
