| dbo:abstract | On December 22, 1984, Bernhard Goetz (/ˈɡɛts/) shot four young men on a New York City Subway train in Manhattan after they allegedly tried to rob him. Goetz surrendered to police nine days later and was charged with attempted murder, assault, reckless endangerment, and several firearms offenses. Initially, Goetz was viewed by most as a victim and by some as a vigilante, and he received widespread public recognition and support. A grand jury refused to indict Goetz on the more serious charges, voting indictments only for criminal gun possession. However, public opinion about Goetz wavered due to statements and alleged damaging details of the incident that later were released by the prosecution. Goetz was then re-indicted by a second grand jury on more serious charges. At a later jury trial, he was found guilty of one count of carrying an unlicensed firearm, for which he served eight months of a one-year sentence. In 1996, Darrell Cabey, one of those Goetz shot and who was left paraplegic and brain damaged as a result of his injuries, obtained a civil judgment of $43 million against Goetz. The incident sparked a nationwide debate on crime in major U.S. cities, the legal limits of self-defense based on Cabey being shot once or twice, and the extent to which the citizenry could rely on the police to secure their safety. Goetz, dubbed the "Subway Vigilante" by the New York press, came to symbolize New Yorkers' frustrations with the high crime rates of the 1980s. Goetz was both praised and vilified in the media and public opinion, and the New York criminal justice system came under increased public scrutiny and criticism. The incident has been cited as a contributing factor to the groundswell movement against urban crime and disorder, and successful National Rifle Association campaigns to loosen restrictions for concealed carrying of firearms. (en) El tiroteo en el metro de la ciudad de Nueva York de 1984 se refiere a un incidente ocurrido el 22 de diciembre de 1984 cuando cuatro hombres, Barry Allen, Troy Canty, Darrell Cabey y James Ramseur, fueron baleados y heridos por Bernhard Goetz después de que estos lo abordaran en un tren subterráneo de la ciudad de Nueva York en Manhattan. Goetz se entregó a la policía nueve días después y fue acusado de intento de asesinato, agresión, peligro imprudente y varios delitos con armas de fuego. Al principio, Goetz fue visto por la mayoría como una víctima y por algunos como un justiciero, y recibió un amplio reconocimiento y apoyo público. Un gran jurado se negó a acusar a Goetz de los cargos más graves y votó acusaciones solo por posesión de armas de fuego. Sin embargo, la opinión pública sobre Goetz vaciló debido a declaraciones y supuestos detalles dañinos del incidente que luego fueron divulgados por la fiscalía. Goetz fue acusado nuevamente por un segundo gran jurado por cargos más graves. En un juicio posterior con jurado, fue declarado culpable de un cargo de portar un arma de fuego sin licencia, por el que cumplió ocho meses de una sentencia de un año. En 1996, Cabey, quien había quedado parapléjico y con daño cerebral como resultado de sus lesiones, obtuvo una sentencia civil de 43 millones de dólares contra Goetz, aunque hasta la fecha Cabey aun no ha recibido este dinero de Goetz. El incidente provocó un debate a nivel nacional sobre el crimen en las principales ciudades, los límites legales de la autodefensa basados en que Cabey fue baleado dos veces durante el mismo incidente, y hasta qué punto la ciudadanía podía confiar en la policía para garantizar su seguridad. Goetz, apodado «Subway Vigilante» (en español 'Vigilante del subterráneo') por la prensa de Nueva York, llegó a simbolizar las frustraciones de los neoyorquinos con las altas tasas de criminalidad de la década de 1980. Fue alabado y vilipendiado en los medios de comunicación y en la opinión pública. El incidente ha sido citado como un factor que contribuyó a la oleada de movimientos contra el crimen y el desorden urbanos, y las exitosas campañas de la Asociación Nacional del Rifle para aflojar las restricciones para el porte oculto de armas de fuego. (es) La sparatoria della metropolitana di New York del 1984 è stato un fatto di cronaca nera che ebbe ampio risalto nei media, accaduto il 22 dicembre 1984 a New York negli Stati Uniti d'America. Nel pomeriggio di sabato 22 dicembre 1984, quattro ragazzi afroamericani, Barry Allen, Troy Canty, Darrell Cabey e James Ramseur, furono gravemente feriti a colpi di arma da fuoco dal trentasettenne Bernhard Goetz in un vagone della metropolitana di New York a Manhattan. Goetz si costituì alla polizia nove giorni dopo e fu accusato di tentato omicidio, aggressione a mano armata, e condotta pericolosa ed irresponsabile. Inizialmente Goetz fu visto da gran parte dell'opinione pubblica come la vittima di una tentata rapina che aveva agito per legittima difesa e fu soprannominato "il giustiziere della metropolitana" dalla stampa newyorchese, ricevendo riconoscimento pubblico e supporto da parte di organizzazioni come i Guardian Angels. Tuttavia, in seguito l'opinione generale su Goetz cambiò quando furono divulgate le sue dichiarazioni durante l'interrogatorio della polizia, dove ricorse ad espressioni razziste arrivando a dire di aver anche pensato di cavare gli occhi con le chiavi di casa a una delle vittime della sparatoria, e venne diffusa la notizia che aveva sparato una seconda volta a Darrell Cabey mentre questi era ferito (tesi poi dimostratasi errata). L'incidente ebbe ampio risalto a livello nazionale e generò dibattiti sul dilagare del crimine nelle maggiori città degli Stati Uniti, circa i limiti legali della legittima difesa, e su fino a che punto i cittadini potevano fare affidamento sulla polizia per garantire la loro sicurezza. Goetz, per molti divenne il simbolo della frustrazione dei cittadini di New York verso l'ondata di crimini che infestava la città negli anni ottanta. La sua figura fu sia lodata sia vilipesa dai mass media e dall'opinione pubblica. L'incidente è stato citato come uno dei fattori principali che contribuirono al movimento contro la criminalità e il degrado urbano, e al successo delle campagne della National Rifle Association of America per allentare le restrizioni circa il trasporto di armi da fuoco.
