European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - March 22, 1985, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page 10 it it it letters the stars and stripes March readers argue 2 sides of the vigilante Issue perhaps the latest Issue that clearly de fines the difference Between individual rights and government coercion is the Issue of gun this Issue has been dead for the past year and a half or but is now making its Way slowly into the channels of the Media particularly interesting is the Case of one Bernhard the death wish Vig since everyone is in on the Lynching of or is taking him to heart As a justification for killing the undesirables of i think the time is now for offering a rational defense for in late december Goetz was approached by four teenagers on a each strategically positioned about each palming a and asking for in pulled out a pistol and shot each of the he did Only what one could do in such a and yet he is being denounced by the mayor and by the american civil liberties what is being left unsaid in All these denunciations is the fact that he was simply showing these Young punks for what they Goetz was approached and he answered the hoodlums with he was doing what was Only morally proper for a person in this predict what if he had Given his or even just to these youths this would have been complying with these punks it would have been condoning their that is if he had Given them his he would have in effect just As Well Allim your and no Man is his own if he had refused to give them the but also had refused to he would have been in i value my Money More than my and your right to kill More than mine to defend but a is and Goetz committed the crime of my and my Money Are and you have no right to this is what Goetz is being smeared for the fact that in a clash Between brute Force and his he chose the selfish Side of his few moral clashes Are offered in terms of pure Black and and this is one of now lets look at All of the professional intellectuals who Are Busy trying to make Bernhard Goetz appear the guilty there is de mayor of new who is trying to retain his prestigious and condemn his act As an act of violence in what context if a burglar Breaks into your rapes your and steals your should your shooting him be condemned simply because it is an act of violence if the soviet Union sends millions of peo ple to slave labor and threatens the rest of the world with a reign of terror As they Are is it the United states who must pay because it defends itself by keep ing an atomic warfare defense system yet there Are people who claim that any violence is and while context drop claim that there is no difference be tween initiative and Retalia Tive uses of who pays for whose wrong in this context the innocent party the party that claims that it will play no part in con and that it will be neither a sucker nor a when the Media is condemning Bernhard this is the Type of Man that they Are particularly interesting Are the Howlings of the american civil liberties who Are claiming that Goetz is an exponent of because his victims were All what if they were White what if Goetz were Black since the Acle is not an organization that defends against but defends minority could you see the Acle defending these Young punks if they were White no then dont listen to their hypo critical cries for if you understand the principles involved in and realize that right is right and wrong is regardless of then the Acle is the least Colo Blind party in this but then there Are the people who think that Goetz method was the Only one philosophically available in any this May be an error in but it is More excusable than the errors of the professional the people who share this Are groping for a sense of and Are sick and tired of being pushed they sense that Bern hard Goetz is defending them against a Gross injustice and he Goetz was fully under the context but Law must belong in the hands of anyone who cares to enforce but when there is no Law then Goetz actions were fully that is what people Are but the real which everyone has been so Busy is the deployment of More police forces to Overlook the subway and More scrupulous methods in hiring Why didst mayor Koch say anything about All the police in new Yok who Are on the Why didst we hear any thing from him about an investigation of the cites police forces it is mayor Koch and the Acle who deserve to be on and not Bernhard Dann skjold Germany i still cannot understand How anyone can support the so called subway Vig Bernhard i supported him in the but that due to recent disclosures of the has since after Reading several accounts of the shooting shortly after it had i had the impression that the youths had pulled either a gun or knife on and had abused him it was reported As if Goetz was in a life or death and that the shootings were necessary in order for him to in but it had to be blared the Goetz is not sorry for what has happened he even said that Hes sorry that he ran out of bullets and the shootings were not in new York and other Large there Are Many too Many subway train though the four youths Only asked Goetz for without producing any its understandable for him to believe that he was being robbed and should defend but does that give him the right to act in the manner that he did Goetz had successfully defended himself the moment that he pulled out his there was no reason for him to shoot were the shootings racially motivated probably it has been re ported before the Goetz was denied membership on a tenant com Mittee for making disparaging racial re i doubt that the grand Jurys Deci Sion not to indict Goetz for attempted murder would have been the same if Goetz was Black and the four youths were White at least a lesson has been Learned from ail of if you Ever need a a or a Dollar or dont ask any with people like Bernhard Goetz walking and with the Large amount of people who Praise his you might find yourself in a wheelchair for life or Oden Germany tougher

rare that individuals incurring the privately owned vehicle inspections make laudatory comments or encourage stricter present privately owned vehicle Pov inspection is governed by Usas Etaf regulation which was established within the guidelines set Forth by usar eur regulations and so As to comply with italian the writer can be assured that both the condition of tires and the headlight align ment

Many of the key Points of the braking system and can assess if any fur ther checks Are Usas Etaf Reg 1903 serves not Only As a guide for but As a guide for owners and operators As this regulation 3 on
