    Analysis Of The Bronx Is Burning By Jonathan Mahler

    (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…
