At least, if you're going to prison you'll still be allowed to listen to Judas Priest.

Dixon murdered James Te Aute, a complete stranger who was in the wrong place at the wrong time, hardly in Dixon's circle. .

my bad - i thought Te Aute was an associate.

my bad - i thought Te Aute was an associate.

Of course not. If he was he would be alive, with no hands.

The pressure of being the only white fulla in prison must have got to him.

A+.
Must spread around etc

I know plenty (well, a few) who've had just as bad or worse upbringings and turned out... if not entirely OK, then at least not murderers.

The man made his own decision to be evil. Who knows why anyone makes that call.

+1. Plenty of people have a shit upbringing. You make your own decisions on where you go in life.

Well personally the fucker who fucked up and let Dixon die, top himself whatever needs to be sacked.

Mmm, I don't think we've heard the last of this - I imagine at least one head will, if not roll, at least get a nasty headache for a while.

Oh, and why do you sign all your posts? We can see it's you.

Dixon lead a sad life that started with drug use [and a questionable mental state] and ended in the brutalisation of friends and murder of a random.

The various re-trials and attempted re-trials came at the insistence of his lawyer who maintained Dixon suffered serious mental issues. Details surrounding his death go along way to supporting this theory.

We have on this site a long running thread supporting those KBers who suffer depression and mental health related problems, why then do we want to burn Dixon for suffering exactly the same fate?

Societies obsession with the retribution component of law and order over the rehabilitation component breeds criminals and violence within our prisons nationwide. Many of those locked up need help and never receive it. Society struggles to 'fix' or treat appropriately individuals like Dixon while locked up, and we end up with Cases like Burton who on release [clearly criminally insane] starts another violent rampage. It is the justice system and health professionals that fail us, and who are every bit as liable for instances like the Burton case.

Clapping our hands over Dixon's death may well be our collective first reaction [certainly mine!], but the fact remains a man whose family still loved him are grieving regardless of the brutality and sadness of his existence, and that society is partly responsible for his actions.

Our thoughts should be at this time how can we red flag the 'Dixons' of our community before it is to late. Failure for us to speak up are best illustrated by the Glassie case.


Flame away.

Because those KBers (as far as I know) don't go on murderous rampages. My thoughts are that P should be no excuse - if you commit a crime on P, you should be done for drugs and the crime. As already mentioned (a LOT on this site) that a shitty childhood isn't a reason to be a dick.

It is the justice system and health professionals that fail us, and who are every bit as liable for instances like the Burton case.

So what's the solution to people like Dixon or Burton? Do we lock them in secure mental institutions? Permanantly? "Retribution" is society's attempt at a simple answer for a complex question (much like legislation marginalising bikers).

Agreed. I noticed the mother of one of the girls he cut hands off showed much compassion on the news. I was impressed.

Well look at the bright side the Govt are no longer using our hard earned Tax $$$$$$$$ to keep in prison, court fees, food clothing and any other waste of tax payers $$ on that scum bag.
