1. In my opinion, Bernie Goetz was a murderer, not a hero, and should not have been let free. He opened fire of four black youths just because he was getting bad vibes from them, and thought they were going to rob him. Some saw him as a hero for shooting those guys, while others saw him as a criminal. I agree with the criminal side. I think his actions were completely unjustified. The boys did nothing wrong to him. If he thought anything was wrong with them, why not move to a different car instead of just shooting them? People thought he did a good thing because the guys had criminal backgrounds and people felt they would just cause more problems. This too, does not justify what he did. It's the police's job to capture criminals, not Bernie's. He should have reported them instead of killing them.
5. I honestly don't know whether improving prison conditions will lead to better inmate behavior, but part of me thinks that we shouldn't improve the conditions because the inmates are there to pay for their crimes, not to relax and enjoy luxuries. I think the conditions need to stay as they are to teach the prisoners the lesson they are there to learn.
