In New York City in 1984, Bernhard Goetz was tired of the crime ridden city after experiencing a mugging that led to no charges. Arming himself illegally for protection while on a subway one day, 4 young black teens approached him asking for some money. Without a warning Goetz shoots all 4 boys. The media frenzy that ensued after drew attention to what constitutes as a "stand your ground" act and what is racial bias. Join us as we explore the injustices surrounding the Subway Vigilante and the similarities it has with the more recent Trayvon Martin case.
