It's extraordinarily un-human of me, but in a way I'm glad. No more waste of taxpayer money on appeals and defences, and the victims and their families can rest easy knowing that there is no chance of it happening to anyone else.

Ditto! That's exactly how I view it. He was a waste of space. He did have a horrible childhood by the sounds, so that is sad. But what's sadder is what he went on to do.

The thing that gets me, is he claims he was "insane" at the time of the samurai attack...however he wasn't insane when he attacked a fellow prisoner a few years ago, nor was he insane when he attacked his lawyer 2 weeks ago - so it's all a crock.
I'm just glad that the victims can be spared any more pain. |

When I heard it was a high profile prisoner, quite a few names that society would not miss came to mind. ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

yep, no tears for him here. Glad that we don't have to pay for him to be in jail for 20+ years. -------------

He was on the drug P when he took to those women with a sword, so that doesn't mean he can use the excuse he was "insane". His lawyer is now saying the system has "let him down" by not putting him in a psych ward, instead of in prison, and that his mental health was deteriorating and he's been beaten up in prison recently. Ohhhh please!!!!!! He's a murderer and there's no excuse for what he did! ------------- My babies: R (9),G (7), J (5) http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

I don't belive he was insane...just a dickhead P freak that is not willing to take responsibility for his actions. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Now see, why could he not have gone and died BEFORE he attacked the women and killed an innocent man ?
I remember when that happened because he shot the man at a service station we always go to ...one we had been to in fact about half an hour before it happened . Scary -------------

Okay so maybe he is going to be not taking up any tax-payer money - but what about all the money that is going to go into a enquiry!
I had the pleasure of actually meeting his ex-girlfriend and she is very lovely, not the kind of person you would expect to be associated with somebody like him. |

So true..... The first picture in that link to the story is really chilling - this was really one scary, disturbed man. |

So here is my ten cents worth (preparing to be slated for this)...but I actually think this is really sad. Its sad because he was someones son, someones brothers, someones nephew and someones grandson. He did some horrific things and deserved to be punished, but somehow I cant help thinking that the system failed him in some way. Whether he was failed as a child, failed as a very disturbed adult who needed some mental health, failed as an inmate - because even if we wish they were dead - we live in a society that chooses to lock people up for life rather than give them the death sentance. I dont for one minute imagine that prison is easy - especially not for someone who is mentally unstable. I used to know a well known serial offender (not very well, but I knew him all the same) that committed some horrible horrible crimes against women and girls, and to be honest the thought of him sitting in prison for the rest of his life - to think about his crimes, feel remorse and hopefully get the "help" he needs, makes me feel better than if he had been executed. Obviously the victims probably feel differently.

I wonder how mwentaly unstable he really was if he was smiling and say hi to his friends in court. i think the crazy eye thing was was a show.
While I can see where you are coming from sim sam that he was some ones brother, son and what not however he made some bad choises and has paid for them. I hate the part of society we live in that allows people to feel it is ok...it's not your fault, blame it on your childhood. That IMO does not teach people to take responsibility for their actions and strive to become better people. DH is constantly asking me how I turned out ok after the sh*tty up bringing i had. i have a consience and i would never do to people what I would not like others to do to me. (obviously I can't spell though...entirely my fault :o)) Sorry to rant but I feel something must be done to wake people up to start taking responsibility. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I agree - I think the excuse that "I had a bad childhood" is a lame one, and people need to stand up and take responsibility for their actions. I guess in this case he will never have a chance to get well, and take responsiblity and feel remorse. Its hard to know whether he ever would have though.

I was reading in another forum a very intrersting, if somewhat controversial idea - he basically had a very similiar upbrining to Nia Glassie - apart from the fact that she died and he didn't (as a child), and that experiencing that kind of childhood makes one less empathetic - bascially their ability to empathise with others, to understand others feeling - dies. Now not saying that nia would've been like antonie- afterall - we all make choices as adults, but i sympathise with Antonie the child, and can see how he would've turned out the nut bar that he did.
In saying that, what do you do with psychopaths like Dixon? i don't believe there was any way of rehabilitating him. keep him ina psych ward? We don't do that very well here in NZ |
