The ex-Marine didn't even think about what he was going to do next, he just did it. As the Puerto Rican émigré, who's friends call him "Batman," relates, "I jump into action, punching, kicking, kicking the teeth. Martial artist." Of course, nobody was arrested. Troche "was stabbed in the hand, the inner elbow and on the leg." He'd do it again tomorrow if he had to. If the National Guard can't secure all of New York City's subway system, vigilantes will. Somebody has to do it. He "urged city officials to do something about crime." If not, he adds, "the vigilantes will come out."
