And in other news…
It seems the Son of Sam is making a plea to the D.C. sniper to stop. He says he is “feeling this person’s anger and rage toward law enforcement.” I’m feeling like I don’t care what Berkowitz has to say, even if he is saying the right things.
After reading the Newsday.com story, I’m struck with quite a few thoughts. The first and foremost is that although David Berkowitz is in fact saying all the right things, I am sick and tired of criminals being given a spotlight, a forum, and that’s what this feels like. I assume there is some plan here, a plan to help put forth someone the sniper can identify with.
I just don’t care. I know I should, but I don’t. Berkowitz should never be given a public forum again. Using him to draw the sniper out is abhorrent, especially so to publish his letter in Newsday.
People should remember that this is the mechanism David used to terrorize New York. Call me an old softy, but I find it disrespectful to the victims and their families.
