The so-called “Son of Sam” pulls a gun from a paper bag and fires five shots at Donna Lauria and Jody Valenti of the Bronx while they are sitting in a car, talking. Lauria died and Valenti was seriously wounded in the first in a series of shootings by the serial killer, who terrorized New York City over the course of the next year.
Once dubbed the “.44 Caliber Killer,” the Son of Sam eventually got his name from letters he sent to both the police and famed newspaper writer Jimmy Breslin that said, “…I am a monster. I am the Son of Sam. I love to hunt, prowling the streets looking for fair game. The weman are prettyist of all [sic]…”
The second attack came on October 23, 1976, when a couple was shot as they sat in a car in Queens. A month later, two girls were talking on a stoop outside a home when the serial killer approached, asked for directions, and then suddenly pulled a gun out and fired several shots. Joanne Lomino was paralyzed from a bullet that struck her spine, but her friend was not seriously injured.
The Son of Sam attacked again in January and March of 1977. In the latter attack, witnesses provided a description of the killer: an unattractive white man with black hair. After yet another shooting in the Bronx in April, the publicity hit a fever pitch. Women, particularly those with dark hair, were discouraged from traveling at night in the city.
When the Son of Sam missed his intended victims in another murder attempt in June, vigilante groups formed across New York City looking for the killer. His last two victims were shot on July 31, 1977, in Brooklyn; one died. Then, police following up on a parking ticket that had been given out that night discovered a machine gun in a car belonging to David Berkowitz of Yonkers, New York.
When questioned, Berkowitz explained that “Sam” was his neighbor Sam Carr—an agent of the devil. Sam transmitted his orders through his pet black Labrador. Years earlier, Berkowitz had shot the dog, complaining that its barking was keeping him from sleeping. After the dog recovered, Berkowitz claimed that it began speaking to him and demanding that he kill people.
In an unusual sequence of events, Berkowitz was allowed to plead guilty before claiming insanity and was sentenced to over 300 years in prison. In prison, he later claimed to be a born-again Christian.

Every single time it’s a Jew? Really, you feckless white nigger?
We can see his mug in the article. That is a Jew. The trick of trying to pass themselves off as Italian in Hollywood doesn’t work on me.
Every Single Time.
So, the dog that instigated these heinous crimes had the last laugh?
Had an atheist “friend” who named his black Lab “Sam, I Am”. The story takes a nose dive after that. Both man and dog are dead.
Berkowitz worked at the Post Office in Yonkers.
…until he went bonkers. And that’s all she wrote!
Huh, psychotic jew terrorizing people. Imagine that…
Say ‘Hitler” without saying “Hitler”

He was adopted, born Richard David Falco, June 1, 1953.
He was born of Jewish parents and adopted by the Falcos
David Berkowitz was born Richard David Falco on June 1, 1953, in Brooklyn, New York.[3]: 73 Within a few days of his birth, his biological mother, Elizabeth “Betty” Broder, gave the child away.[3]: 80 Broder had started a relationship three years previously with a married man named Joseph Klineman, who became Richard’s biological father.[3]: 76, 81 Although her reasons for giving Richard away are unknown,[3]: 81 writers have surmised that Klineman threatened to abandon her if she kept the baby and used his name.[4] Broder had grown up as part of an impoverished Jewish family and was working as a waitress. Prior to meeting Klineman, in 1936, she had married Tony Falco, an Italian American.[3]: 76–9 After a marriage of less than four years, Falco left her for another woman.[3]: 76
In an unusual sequence of events, Berkowitz was allowed to plead guilty before claiming insanity and was sentenced to over 300 years in prison.
Yeah, sometimes the justice system gets the order of these things messed up. But as long as there is no mistrial, pretty much anything goes in Kangaroo Kort.
Or the people making this shit up write absurd details that are just wrong from time to time.

Semi related question:
How long do you have to wait until you can report a missing person?
Auntie waited 72 hours quite recently. Not a family member, which had it been would have been soon after they were not home or at their destination. Maybe four hours.
In a civilized society Berkowitz would have been executed after full due process. Full stop.
Firing squads are without a doubt the most humane and cost effective way.
Everyone commemorated the bicentennial as they saw fit. This young man was no different.
It’s claimed Berkowitz was an MK Ultra patsy. The usual “lone nutter” story, in this case covered for a series of high level masonic ritual murders. The dog ‘Sam’ is claimed to be a reference to Sirius (Dog Star) which is secretly revered by many secret societies including the Masons and other Luciferian groups.
Son of Sam! Son of Sam!
