I lived around he corner from him then, used to see him often in the neighborhood, The city was a mess then, and I always felt he did he right thing to defend himself. But I will also say that he has “weirdo” and “loner” written all over him, and I very much doubt that he would have ever gotten married and had children no matter what.
You are trying to have it both ways. NYC was that bad. Somebody was going to do what Bernie did. The dudes just messed with the wrong person and believe it or not we were all better off for it.

According to Goetz he told Shatner that he was in fact married but it was only for the “fun and sex” and they divorced.
Anyway, I always looked at Goetz as a wierdo too.
The funny part of the show at the end Shatner had a clip of Goetz playing with his pet squirrel, that he takes out to the park to eat nuts.
Why would I have thought any different of him!
LOL
