On December 22, 1984, Bernhard Goetz shot four alleged muggers on a New York City Subway train in Manhattan. He fired five shots, seriously wounding all four men.
You can't let yourself be pushed around. You can't live in fear. That's no way to live your life.
If you have love in your life, you have life.
To shoot a gun proficiently, including speed shooting, is much less of a skill than typing.
With my time in the limelight, I regret that I didnt use it more to push vegetarianism. I support vegetarian options in the school lunch program.
Jail is much easier on people who have nothing.
Society is better off without certain people.
The whole trial seemed surreal.
When you are surrounded by four people, one of them smiling, taunting, demanding, terrorizing, you don't have a complete grasp or perfect vision.
Prior to being mugged I did not feel I had to carry a gun. However, I knew how to shoot a gun very proficiently. As a boy, I used to play cowboys and Indians all the time.
I would, without any hesitation, shoot a violent criminal again.
I don't regret pulling the trigger. I should have been more careful with many of the things I said afterwards. That was a big regret.
I think vegetarianism is a crucial ethical choice for an individual and a society.
Anyone, any type of story, it doesnt have to be a crime victim, you dont have to let yourself be food for the media.
