Attempted Mugging Goes Awry

The San Francisco Chronicle [1] reports on an attempted mugging gone terribly awry:

(02-20) 11:29 PST OAKLAND — A 23-year-old visitor from the East Coast had just gotten money from an ATM when he told his friend on a cell phone that he had a bad feeling about two men approaching him at the Fruitvale BART Station in Oakland.

His worst fears were realized when one suspect, Victor Veliz, 18, held a folding knife with a 5-inch blade to his neck and the other, Christopher Gonzalez, 18, threatened to shoot him Thursday night, authorities said.

One perp is dead.   The other perp is in custody charged with felony murder.   Can the intended victim get back home to the East Coast without getting served in wrongful death civil lawsuit by the dead perps’ father and without being charged by Eric Holder, the reprobate who thinks he is Attorney General, with a hate crime?
