-   It has not been established that Goetz was defending his life. From the
- reports that I have heard, the screwdrivers were not brandished. Goetz became
- a criminal when he shot the 4 and ran. Maybe even before the incident if his
- gun was not registered. Sure the 4 should be prosecuted, but so should Goetz.
- Self-defense is one thing, what Goetz did is another.

The screwdrivers were on the subway seats next to the would be muggers
according to newspapers.
