The notorious “Son of Sam” killer is recovering from a second medical procedure after undergoing emergency heart surgery at an Albany hospital, sources said Tuesday.

David Berkowitz, 64, terrorized New York City when he murdered six people from 1976 to 1977 and claimed a possessed dog gave him orders to kill.

Berkowitz underwent cardiac surgery at Albany Medical Center last December and was returned to Shawangunk Correctional Facility on Jan. 15, state prison officials said.

Meanwhile, some hard-working sucker is dying ‘cause he can’t afford a by-pass because of O’Care.

While there are justified consequences for his actions, Berkowitz has fully repented. He must still suffer the consequences of his actions, but he is a different person now.

“David was optimistic. He said God was watching over him. He’s a very spiritual person,” said Heller.

I thought it was a dog watching over him. Or guiding him. Or something.

Son of Sam Becomes Son of Hope

DAVID: Well Scott, it’s a long story, and it would take hours to go into everything and unravel the case. But I at one time had gotten into Satan worship. And this entity, this demon, that was his name. It was just the stupidest thing I had ever done in my life. I just let the devil take control of me. And back in 1975, ‘76, even before the crimes started, I made a pact with the devil.

I hate Spike Lee, but Summer of Sam was a great movie. Captured the killer and 70s NYC perfectly.

Yes, I read up on all that the last time he made the news.

I’ll reserve what judgments I do make for the unrepentant cold-blooded serial killers still free enjoying mindless support of approximately half of all American voters and just about all of the media.

Yes. I’ve read that about him too. It doesn’t justify what he did in the least, but he seemed to come from a bad home environment and did get into Satanism, and has since at least appeared to come to Christ. I’ve read that he ministers to other prisoners, which is something both in the eternal sense and also the here-and-now since many of them will be let out.
