Demonstrators March On Goetz Apartment In New York
About 250 protesters from the June 20th Coalition Against Racist Violence marched around Bernhard Goetz’s rear apartment building in Manhattan in the fifth day of his seclusion. They argued he was acquitted because he is white after a subway shooting on Dec 22, 1984, leaving him facing a weapons charge. Goetz has stayed inside, appearing at times to watch reporters, while neighbors report he plans to remain in New York amid civil lawsuits from wounded teens.
