David Berkowitz 5/5

David Richard Berkowitz (born David Richard Falco; June 1, 1953), also known as Son of Sam and the .44 Caliber Killer, is an American serial killer and arsonist whose crimes terrorized New York City from July 1976 until his arrest in August 1977. Shortly after his arrest in August 1977, Berkowitz confessed to killing six people and wounding seven others in the course of eight shootings in New York between 1976 and 1977. On June 12, 1978, he was sentenced to six life sentences in prison for the murders, making his maximum term 365 years. Berkowitz subsequently claimed that he was commanded to kill by a demon who possessed his neighbor's dog.

Berkowitz later amended his confession to claim he was the shooter in only two incidents, personally killing three people and wounding a fourth. The other victims were killed, Berkowitz claimed, by members of a violent Satanic cult of which he was a member. Though he remains the only person charged with or convicted of the shootings, some law enforcement authorities argue that Berkowitz's claims are credible.

In 1979, there was an attempt on Berkowitz's life. He refused to identify the person(s) who had attacked him with a knife, but suggested that the act was directed by the cult he once belonged to. He bears a permanent scar from the wound that took 52 stitches to close.

Shut the fuck up, altar boy.

@RPenta I totally agree with you, its b/c of people like this that saying innapproriate and uncalled for things is common in todays society. If they dont believe in god then why do they hate people that do so much? Because their one with the devil.

@mickeypopa No fuck you faggit, ass cock sucker. Go fuck yourself you should be knocked the fuck out for running your mouth off on the internet like the pussy you really are. The lord will bring all you heathens to your knees along with the worlds economy.

@kland33666 Go to hell atheist piece of shits where you belong.

@kland33666 I appreciate your comment and I should have been less vulgar. However, I have just had it with atheists, radical Jews, and some arch militarists having the worst and most false things to say about Jesus Christ. You may NOT believe that Jesus was a historical person (which I think is an idiotic position) and deny he was/is God, but no decent person could not be impressed with Him.

@RPenta I think you meant to say "I forgive you for your blasphemy, for I walk in the light of the lord and am filled with his spirit", or something else that doesn't make you sound like another hypocritical, name calling, and angry christian. Just saying....

@mickeypopa I am really tired of reading horrible blasphemy about Jesus from lowlife scumbags like you; IF you had a brain you would read the NT and find there the man Jesus who taught love and forgiveness and brotherhood and died a horrible death at the hands of His enemies. Shut the fuck up, asshole until you have something decent to say.

@uncleoscar7

Fuck your imaginary supernatural Jesus, and fuck you.

If people did it your way, the world would be a horrible place for decent people because every scum could play the Jesus card and be free to cause more death.

Who the fuck do you think you are with your "knowledge" that other people don't have?

Arrogant piece of shit, you should be put in prison with him and feel the "repented man" for yourself.
