There needs to be more vigilante justice now. Too many criminals and not enough people doing anything about it.
He obviously suffered severe trauma from the robbery that took place 3 years early …not guilty
NY is a dumpster of rats
Gone to far in defending himself?ðŸ¤â€Â
"I don't pity criminals." He was a criminal dumbass…he was buying drugs or whatever…he shot to not be ripped off…
Goetz was surrounded by 4 leering thugs, and Kunstler thinks he should have tried duking it out with them?
There's an old saying goes don't corner a squirrel because it might chew a whole thru you to get out.
If 4 thugs try to rob someone and get shot in the process, that’s just an occupational hazard.
I am not exactly sure of any injuries Getz received when he was robbed, jumped or whatever occurred the first time. Getz, had a right to defend himself, but went a little overboard after the threat was over. The five dollars request verbally wasn't really a request, but
intimidation instead. Not sure, but I think he would've done the same thing even if they were white.
Once he pulled the trigger he turned into a savage. Haha I ain't mad at him.
I agree . He was in fear. I'm African American an I don't disagree he could have ran but sure 4 black men who usually are great at running please he had no chance.
They should have pinned a medal of honor on the man who killed his sons abuser in the airport. I totally commend him for what he did. He killed someone who deserved it and someone who would have offended again if/when he got out of prison. He did the world a favor. Good for him, I would have done the same, and I would still do the same to this day if someone intentionally hurt my daughter, even though she's an adult now she's still my baby and I'll be her protector til the day I die.
If ever 4 guys deserved a bullet, it was these 4 guys.
Does it drive anyone else nuts when family members want justice for their criminal family member?
"He could've run, he could've screamed" don't sound like that option worked out for him the first time,. Don't make other folks choose plan B and alive you will be.
I hate the people who turn to race for every single issue, that got nothing to do with race
The train rider was self defense not vigilante 😂
Child molestors deserve to die !!! He did what I and any father would do given the opportunity
When you act against people
The first one with Goetz should have never been charged, period. Had he got a lawyer before going in and speaking to the cop's, he would have not been charged. Cop's do the same every single day, enforcing their own moral code & have protection.
No great when your brother who is defending you looks like he loves spending time with kids too
Great job. If the judges won't do it we will
Been there wish I could have done that I'll be ready next time
Cops use the same defense every day.
Why can't I use the same defense?
I def think Bernard Gets has everything right to shoot those muggers. He didn’t do anything wrong. I been mugged, Robbed , stolen and car jacked. All in NY. To me, he did everyone a favor by shooting those muggers. I bet they wouldn’t go mugging again after that.
I've known the feeling
Jury Nullification.
