Earlier this year a man in Brooklyn soaked a roll of toilette paper in paint thinner, then with his cigarette lighter lit it ablaze. He tossed the fireball into a baby carriage near the entrance of his crowded apartment building which quickly set fire to the stairs and blocked the entrance to firefighters. Five people died.. When asked by police why he did it, he replied "Demons made me." I couldn't help but recall this story as I walked past these posters in Union Square. I find these posters, the obvious product of a very misguided mind, rather unsettling. While demon possession isn't looked upon these days as a strong defence in court, the problem of evil does still exist.
