[net.legal] NYC subway hero - slightly tainted

gam@amdahl.UUCP (Gordon A. Moffett) (01/02/85)

I heard on "All Things Considered" today that the guy is facing
indictment in New Hampshire for some previous offense.  He has
also flip-flopped (twice!) on whether he will return to NYC
voluntarily to face charges there.

The hero has no clothes.  Or something like that...

My opinion (no doubt you are breathlessly waiting to hear) is
that this guy, whoever he is, has a right to defend himself
and if he were threated by ``street scum'' brandishing weapons
then the matter at hand is deciding if his shooting all four of them
was necessary to maintain his safety.

(ps to Milo: the ACLU won't get involved because there are
no constitutional/civil rights issues in question here).
