Bernie Goetz, the infamous 'subway vigilante,' criticized the prosecution of Daniel Penny for the chokehold death of Jordan Neely, calling it a 'BS society' and a 'political trial.' Goetz, who shot four youths who tried to rob him on a Manhattan train in 1984, compared the cases, arguing that both highlight the failings of the system and the 'lawfare' used to impose the will of the government.
The original subway vigilante, Bernie Goetz, thinks the prosecution of Daniel Penny for the chokehold death of Jordan Neely aboard a train was “BS.”
“This is about New York, and New York I consider a BS society, and what the Penny case has in common with my case is, it’s all BS,” he told the host of the show, “The Other Side of Midnight.”“This is what you have in some democratic states with left wing government,” added Goetz. “There was much more violence in the 80s,” he said. “It was a poorer society. We had a much greater percentage of the population preying on the rest of the population.”
