Because when he gets the cash from Sport there’s a fleeting glance of metal on his pants when he parts his jacket. It’s a gun, I’m guessing you thought it was a badge.
What could've helped Travis?
Moving out of new york. He should have moved to Texas or Florida, somewhere bright with dumb women
there's still no known cure for being a mentalcel
No, I knew about that too. And I think you're right. Although I think if he had stayed away from the epicenter of degeneracy, found a nice girl to settle down with somewhere quiet, he would've been OK.
He's kinda like Michael Douglas's character in Falling Down. Looks like he was plucked from the 50s/early 60s into the modern world & went nuts. The contrast is pretty unreal. It was peak of the nuclear family & white culture, then feminism, desegregation, etc tore it all apart. Travis witnessed it all.
Bernhard Goetz shot 4 black teenagers on the subway and got away with it. Granted nobody died, but I imagine at that time in NY people would be sympathetic to someone who shot a pimp while “rescuing” a 13 year old girl.
