With this cult following a lot was asked of their followers, including Berkowitz, and a lot of nonsense and brainwashing was being put into their heads. These Satanic meetings and Satanic worships led to the death of 5 more people in New York City and 6 more brutally injured all falling onto the shoulders of Mr. Berkowitz later on down the line. …show more content…

The police were thumped when it came to these killings, there was no motive behind it, no reason to target these victims, but there were a couple things that stayed consistent. All of the victims who died besides Alexander Esau were young female women, all these killings were late at night, and all done by the same gun, the same caliber bullet.

With the public looking out for multiple people that have been illustrated in

    (Bronx, 245) “The similarities amongst the cases were hard to ignore. Not only had all the victims been young women or couples in the outer boroughs, but the weapon used in every attack was a .44 caliber charter arms revolver”. (Bronx, 247) The gun on the other hand proved to be no use on identifying the subject. Out of the 28,000 .44 caliber revolvers produced, 667 accounts of this item were reported stolen. (Bronx, 249) Apparently frustrated with the lack of progress in the summer of 1977 the “Son of Sam” proceeded to taunt both the papers and the police departments, claiming that he “can’t stop killing”, and “Sam’s a thirsty lad and he won’t let me stop killing until he gets his fill of blood”. (Bronx, 254) Citizens didn’t primarily help either. Women were calling into service hotlines naming husbands, ex-husbands, and boyfriends as suspects. As each day passed without an arrest, Mayor Abe Beame's reelection chances grew slimmer and slimmer as opponents such as Abzug, Cuomo and the eventual winner, Ed Koch, pressured him for failing to keep the city safe. “Like the tidal wave of looting and arson that accompanied the blackout, the .44 caliber killer hysteria had altered New Yorkers…

    In the picture Anthony Bolin, a boy, 5 years old, was holding a gun with his both hands and watching cartoons. There are two things that the viewer could differentiate him from the normal kids instantly. One is the way that he held the gun. Anthony held the gun like an experienced gun-user did, and he even put his finger on the trigger. He looked alert and ready to pull the trigger anytime. Another is his dead eye. The dead eye made him look like a fighter and looked similar with those disobedient criminal kids. From the caption we knew more details: “…five months after being shot in his living room. … his grandmother noticed a change in his attitude. "He's become tougher, like a teenager," she said. It struck me that kids aren't allowed to be kids anymore.” (Joseph) That was the story behind this photo, which is more sad and shocking than the picture. When these kids don’t allow to be kids anymore, what the world could look like?

Joseph’s photographs is like a window opened us an opportunity to look inside these gang kids childhood. Through Anthony Bolin, it is not hard to imagine that how earlier the gun started to intervene in these…
