Flush!
Charlie says, "Hello!"
Infamous my ass. A man who defended himself from four vile and vicious pieces of human garbage is anything but "infamous" in my book.
Too bad all he had was a .38 revolver with standard ammunition.
Justice delayed still justice done.
...27 years to the day after he was shot by infamous "Subway Vigilante" Bernhard Goetz... Ramseur, who had been holding a screwdriver during the incident, was shot in the chest and lapsed into a coma...The moral of the story? Group your shots, and don't be afraid to reload.
I don’t know about you guys but I ALWAYS carry a screw driver when I’m panhandling. Cabey started with the IQ of a 8 year old and finishes the same.
The deceased is just a few years younger than our current white house occupant.
I’ll never forget the warm glowing feeling of Christmas 1984 for the hero, Goetz (who was not known yet). He is still a hero, and I’m glad the attacker finally did the right thing and rid the world of his presence. I’m in the Christmas mood finally
“I have five dollars for each of you.”
Sounds like Mr. Goetz should have had a little more “range time”. Would have saved the taxpayers a lot of money.
” functions with “the intellect of an eight-year-old.”
Well, that is an improvement for the perp from the time he committed the crime.
yes, but everyone, even convicted rapists and drug addicts, are children of God...

Maybe that is the view of some other religion.
However, Biblical Christianity differentiates between being God’s CHILD and being God’s CREATURE.
According to the Gospel of John 1:12-13
12 Yet TO ALL WHO RECEIVE HIM, to those who believed in his name, HE GAVE THE RIGHT TO BECOME CHILDREN OF GOD 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husbands will, but born of God.
We are all God’s creatures but we are NOT all God’s children.
Being His child is a privilege given only to those who come into repentance by faith in God’s Son, Jesus Christ.
The only “victim” who did not continue his life of crime, is the one who is now paralyzed.
“Being His child is a privilege given only to those who come into repentance by faith in Gods Son, Jesus Christ.”
Amen to that! I am glad you posted this response. Although as Christians we are to extend our compassion to others, we are all not children of God as you so aptly related. Why would we need a savior if we are already in the family so to speak. It is Jesus Christ’s shed blood that makes atonement for our sin and it is this alone, available to all who repent, that brings you into a relationship with God. To insist that a murderer or a thief, sinners who the Bible says will see the fiery pit, is God’s child is a version of a very flawed theology.

LOL>>> too funny. The picture you posted was hilarious. I needed that laugh.
Thanks! I sure love these holiday time, heart warming, feel good stories! Sniff. I needa box a kleenex now.
Al $harpton was around then and said Goetz was a racist.
Further:
In Connecticut, Goetz faked mental illness to avoid being drafted into the Vietnam War.
