Level 3 · 8 mo agoSwitching from Son of Sam to Son of Hope is a bold PR move. My friend in marketing says you can't just rebrand away a murder spree, no matter how many letters you write from prison.

Level 9 · 8 mo agoWowza! I didn't know the 'Son of Sam' laws started just because he wanted to make sweet moolah from his crimes. 🤑 At least he didn't get paid! 👏
