    Dexter Design? Is that what it says?:confused:
    I've no idea what that is?

    It's a novel about a serial killer who hunts down and murders other serial killers while working as a blood spatter analyst for the Miami police force. Quite a popular tv show too

    It would be 'appropriate' if Dexter was a sex offender. He's not. Nothing to see here.

    Fun fact:
    Dexter is Latin for "right" and sinister is Latin for "left".

    I thought it'd be Lolita, or maybe 50 shades of Grey..

    I've just learned that Poindexter is actually Latin for Poinright.

    Both Dexters are the same person….

    I’m gonna spoiler this for those who haven’t seen the first season or read the first book.
    ok so apart from the general appearance of both characters being the same person there is a lot in Dexters Lab that hint at future Dexter.

    When stuck with his brother in the shipping container his mind goes somewhere else. This somewhere is his lab.

    In his lad he pictures his brother as a stereotypical dumb blonde girl. This could show that Dexter was already afraid of his brother (who was a psycho too remember) and perhaps Dexter was afraid of him and being trapped in a shipping container surrounded by his mothers blood it was the only way he could cope mentally

    He doesn’t want to picture his mother or his fathers face and that’s why they are never shown in DL.

    His imagination of having this HUGE lab full of all the equipment he could ever want never paying for any of it and nobody noticing shows his intelligence later in life (other kids would think of less complicated stuff to play with in their mind.

    Outbursts at DeeDee could show the beginning of the dark passenger, this rage he eventually focuses on the task of killing removing this outburst mentality.

    Picturing him with a sister in his mind has brought him a lot closer to Debs however and feeling bad at picturing a sister as negatively as he had he now will do anything for her.
    Dexter admits that he cannot hurt Debra or allow anyone else to harm her because he is "fond of her". In the first episode of Season 1, he says that "I don't have feelings about anything, but if I could have feelings at all, I'd have them for Deb.

    That is all!

    A book you say? I knew it was in the library, but couldn't figure out who or with what!

    Poindexter was one of the nerds in revenge of the nerds.

    I think it's stranger that someone on trial for a sex offence brings a book to read in the court. If I was on trial for a serious offence I would be halfway to puking and focussed on what was happening. I wouldn't be relaxed enough to read a book.

    That says more about this scumbag's attitude than the actual nature of the book he was reading IMO.

    Note the book title in the photo. Very appropriate reading considering the venue and the crime. What a dirtball.

    You think 9 years is too harsh for a violent attempted rape?

    Men get assaulted by other men in unprovoked attacks all the time. In those cases the perpetrators always get away scott-free (ESPECIALLY first offenses). Do you think men feel physical pain any less than women?

    As for the sexual assault bit. He pulled her knickers down, but didn't do anything. She took out her phone. Why did this matter to them? Why didn't they just take it off her and do the deed?

    Baffling all round to say the least.

    mod: banned.

    You can always tell when the judge doesnt know the family by the way he does the sentencing.... These kids rightfully get 9 years.

    A guy in dublin gets 6 months, pays the victim 75,000 and walks.

    what a fcukin system:mad:

    Instead of engaging in ad hominem, how about you tell me how I'm wrong?

    I was viciously assaulted last year WAY worse than this case, and the scummer got away 100% scott free.

    No not at all, you are incorrect because I sat through the sentence as my clients case was before the same judge. I know what info was before the court unlike you.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm glad these scum were sent to jail. I support harsh sentences, but only if they're given out CONSISTENTLY. Not only when the victim is the culturally preferred and cherished gender (female)
