happened on boylston street at the finish line for the boston marathon. we ll all remember the twin blasts that happened not far from here back in april. well, today, the red sox world series champs decided to pay tribute to all of those who survived in the attacks and all those lost. johnnie gunz, the clubhouse leader, the guy who started the red sox beard trend, and he is the one who paid honor today. he got down, he put the world series trophy right on the finish line, and took off his cap in a moving salute. it was important to a lot of fans who came out here today. that was the moment they were hoping to see, the moment they were waiting to see, the city is, again, celebrating much more than baseball six months later they are celebrating a comeback. fred? wow, lots of symbolism, indeed. all right. alexander field, thank you so much. appreciate it. all right. the new york man called the subway vigilante after he shot four youths in 1984 is facing charges for allegedly selling m
fourteen agers in a subway. he claims it is self-defense. he s 65 years old. he made a $35 pot deal in the west village last night and he was arrested. i want to bring back lou now. you are a cop in the new york city area. when everyone is talking about the subway vigilante, tell me what it was like being a police officer then. racial tension was high and there was so much going on. initially, he wasn t charged with attempted murder or shooting them, right? no, nothing. my understanding is he got pretty much a pass on this incident. it was only the byproduct of someone outspoken to say more people should do what he did. they had to harness him and they decided to prosecute him. he was outspoken. was he seen as a hero to many new yorkers? i don t think he was perceived as hero. i will tell you the social
life and zero tolerance and the implementation of stop, search and frisk policy that took homicide from 2600 to 500. it s interesting when you think about the quality of life crimes. that s what started it with bill braden was quality of life, little things like breaking windows or breaking in someone s car. people would be arrested for those small things. that started turning around the crime in new york city. also, i wonder if bernard goetz, did it change the way we looked at weapons and the use of force? was it his legacy? i don t believe his incident was necessarily a stimulant to any gun issue in our country. i think it was somewhat isolated instance that a lot of people understood. the city was dangerous. people were nervous.
