Day Thirteen: Write a Letter to a Mass Murderer (Anailuj)

Sorry we've totally been slacking. It's the most midtermiest time of the year. Also, John's birthday! Happy birthday, Booger!
I picked David Berkowitz, a.k.a. Son of Sam, for my mass murderer. He shot a bunch of girls in the New York City in the 70s because "a demon possessing his neighbor's dog told him to." He also wrote a couple creepy letters to the police that reveal some pretty extreme schizophrenia. You'll definitely wanna read those. Creepy.
These days David spends his time serving six life sentances at Sullivan Correctional Facility in Fallsburg, NY, and being a born-again Christian. I might sound crazy myself, but I think this guy may have actually gotten better (may have). He has a website that's maintained for him by a church group because he's not allowed to have access to a computer. He posts a journal in it that's full of totally coherent and sane things, and is totally into Jesus, which I think is nice. I know you're probably doubting that a guy who killed six people an wounded seven could have changed but you'll have to isit his website. He's a really interesting individual, in a lot of ways. So here's what I would say to him.

Dear Mr. Berkowitz,
How are things? I've taken a look at your journal, and all things considered, you seem pretty happy. I think if there's any way to redeem yourself for your past, you're probably doing it. It seems like youv'e givn a lot of people hope and a new outlook on things. I also think it's really cool that when you write your memoir the proceeds will go to the NYS Crime Victims Board, and that you're working to stop the sale of crime memoribilia. Things like that could seriously cut down on the amount of attention people receive for committing crimes, and you probably know better than anybody else that that attention is a major motivating factor.

Now to wax philosophic. They call you a born-again Christian. As a Christian, you must believe that if you truly repent for your sins, God will forgive you and you'll be redeemed. But do you? You've said you think you don't want a chance at parole an that you think you deserve to spend your life in prison. But what about the after-life? Do you believe that when you die, you'll be rewarded with eternal paradise, that repenting has saved you from an eternity in hell? What about the girls you killed? Do you think they could ever forgive you? Do you think you'll see them after death and get a chance to apologize?
My religious beliefs are still sort of up in the air. But your situation is about as unique as it could get, and it makes me evaluate things.
Thanks for all the thoughts,
