Lord, remember David,
and all his afflictions.
Psalm 132:1
Several days ago, I received a letter from a major media corporation informing me that they are producing a program about the "Son of Sam shootings"...
and all his afflictions.
Psalm 132:1
Several days ago, I received a letter from a major media corporation informing me that they are producing a program about the "Son of Sam shootings"...
They asked me to participate in this and allow myself to be interviewed by them.
The news came like a kick to my stomach. Since getting this letter, I have felt spiritually oppressed as well as physically sick. I was so saddened to learn about this project. I have been praying and crying out to God for help.
But the Lord gave me the words to say in reply. So I wrote a fairly short and courteous letter to this media outlet explaining that I am very sorry for the past. I continue to pray for those I hurt, and that with God's help I have been moving on with my life. I told them that I have a little memory of these crimes. That I have absolutely no interest whatsoever in being a part of their program. Nor do I wish to participate in any way.
Frankly, I was disgusted by their letter. It was not a nasty letter, but it was manipulative. People know how to talk really nice when they want something from me.
I think it is a tragedy that my crimes keep getting thrown back into the public's eye for the sake of viewer ratings and advertising revenues. I feel sorry for the families of my victims, who will be forced to relive their nightmare once more.
