Bernard Goetz, Man in ’84 Subway Shooting, Faces Marijuana Charges



The New York Times

Nearly three decades after becoming notorious as the subway rider who shot four teenagers on a Manhattan train, Bernard H. Goetz found himself back in the news on Saturday, after being charged with trying to sell marijuana to an undercover police officer. 

Mr. Goetz, 65, was arrested Friday evening after attempting to sell $30 worth of marijuana to the female officer, the police said. The officer approached him in Union Square and asked if he was selling, according to the police. Mr. Goetz said that he was, and went back to his apartment. When he returned, about 7:30 p.m., he was arrested. 

First of all, what the hell are the police wasting there time on small-time pot busts for? I can't believe they're still doing that.

Secondly, what the hell is Goetz doing selling "nickel bags" of pot? Shouldn't he be doing public relations for the NRA or making personal appearances on right-wing talk shows?
