Lines: 19 The manhunt is on! Some poor bastard had the gall to shoot four punks in NYC who attacked him with sharpened screwdrivers, demanding money. Now the police artist's drawing of him is on nationwide television. Public enemy number one. If the punks had murdered him he would have been lucky to make the back pages of the NY newspapers, and the "authorities" would have spent far less money investigating his murder than trying to track him down for daring to defend himself. I doubt if hizzoner Mayor Kock would have gone on TV to denounce the punks, nor would syndicated columnists say that we have a sick society for allowing this scum to roam around harrassing people. So why should someone defending his life and property exasperate the establishment so? Because of the groundswell of popular support. That is why "liberal" movie critics hated "Death Wish" with Charles Bronson, too, I'll bet. I just hope the witnesses had the good sense to give the police the wrong description.
