Did ‘Subway Vigilante’ Shoot 4 Black Teens in Self-Defense?
Three days before Christmas in 1984, five bullets were fired at four black teenagers on the No. 2 train in New York City by a white man with an illegally-owned handgun. The incident divided the city into people who supported the so-called “Subway Vigilante” and others who said the shooting was a racist act of violence. Bernhard Goetz says he acted out of fear, but was it self-defense or was it revenge? InsideEdition.com’s Sal Bono has more in this latest installment of NY Gritty.
He approached them after the boy asked for money and started shooting. I would have been on his side if they walked up and then he fired because he was scared. His police interview should have put him behind bars he did it on purpose and was bragging about it.
I understand the terrifying circumstances and if he shot them in self defense. And while it may have started that way, shooting a guy in the back who essentially surrendered by laying on the ground, that isn’t self defense. If he stopped a shooting the one guy and the rest turned and started running and he let them go, that’s fine and I applaud him. But shooting the first guy then hunting down his friends making sure that all had a bullet in them, that’s murder at that point
Omg I would’ve been on his side if I didn’t hear him talk. This guy is totally crazy. I think he just wanted to hurt people. You don’t shoot a man who’s on the ground not trying to attack

Racism not right #stopracism
This channel brainwashing people into hating each other
He's probably watched Taxi Driver one too many times and thought he'd do a Travis.
I don’t see nothing wrong with what he did defended himself
"ON THEIR WAY TO ROB AN ARCADE" what a surprise. T
He wanted to eat his eyes with fava beans…
It was a RACIST act. No doubt about it. 😞
Is this where joker got that scene
Did those poor people survive??
I get it but it’s not self defense until someone actually tries to hurt you. You can’t shoot somebody because of a thought
Why I dont like being black
This man looks like jeffrey dahmer 😳
I would’ve gouged his eye out
I ran out of bullets
I would’ve done it again
WTF HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN JAIL!!!!!! HE SOUNDS LIKE A SERIAL KILLER IN THE MAKING*
