Prediction:
A Bernhard Goetz like situation will occur in some inner city sometime soon and the media will be quick to label the individual who defended himself as a right wing kook while making apologies for the aggressors.
My hope is that the Bernhard Goetz role will be played by a Max Cady (Cape Fear) type of individual who will be able to withstand a beating and then deliver retribution upon his attackers. Thereby leaving no doubt as to the intentions and character of the poor dead "aggressors".
