The gal pal of the ex-con killed while attacking Manhattan bodega worker Jose Alba was not charged with stabbing the clerk during the melee because prosecutors felt she was just defending her beau, police sources told The Post on Monday.

The decision stunned Alba’s supporters, not to mention the worker himself — who faces a controversial slay rap for the boyfriend’s death even though he and hordes of supporters say video shows he clearly was acting in self-defense, a bodega rep said.

“I don’t understand why the [district attorney] hasn’t charged her,” Francisco Marte of the Bodega and Small Business Association Group said outside Alba’s Hamilton Heights apartment after visiting the worker Monday.

He said the 61-year-old clerk and his supporters believe the 32-year-old gal pal should be locked up for stabbing Alba three times while he was fending off her irate boyfriend.

“She participated in that,” Marte said of the incident. “She’s supposed to be in jail and the $250,000 bail [Alba once faced] should be on her, not on him. He was just defending himself.”

Wow.  Alice in Wonderland time is in full swing in NYC.

And that Black Privilege card sure does come in handy, don't it?

She instigated and then escalated the situation and finally, engaged in attacking Mr. Alba...how the hell is she not in jail?   

Race card, I know...
