Remember Bernie Goetz who was a subway shooting four young men in NYC in early 1980’s similar to Kyle Rittenhouse. I refer to the sensational Bernie Goetz case in New York City nearly four decades ago. Like Rittenhouse, Goetz was called a vigilante, “the subway vigilante” after he shot four young men he said were trying to rob him on a Manhattan train in 1984. Goetz was acquitted of four attempted murder charges and convicted only of carrying an unlicensed gun and served eight months in prison.
