Man, I just went into a deep dive on dorfman. Select Distro site is like a weird alternate reality - I'm amazed that Elephant Brand still exists. I feel gross. I mean more so after this Gator bullshit.

I doubt he’ll be a part of the skate world in any capacity just by the sheer fact that he is in his mid 50’s and hasn’t stepped on a board in over 30 years. You can’t really just pick up vert like that and obviously the dude wasn’t a street skater.

Gross fuckin dude to say the least.

Agreed. I hope nobody in the industry tries to befriend this guy, even for a scoop

I normally believe in second chances for people who did their time, but hell nah

where can a murderer benefit society?
[close]

the army? euthanasia doctor? 

This murderer's book on life in prison is a huge contribution to the study of punishment/prison: https://www.ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-library/abstracts/life-without-parole-living-and-dying-prison-today



Also, what is the point of imprisonment? Rehabilitation? Revenge? Retribution? Warehousing people?

What was the parole board's rationale? What is the difference between harsh punishment and smart punishment? (key theme of this guy's work that influenced our constitution https://www.britannica.com/biography/Cesare-Beccaria)?

Also, does Gator have any money? Who is bank rolling his trips to the commissary? If released what will he do for work? Will be a preacher like Hosoi or will he actually have to work for a living?

I don't have an answer to any of these questions.

Bumping a month old thread, but from what I read he has a job waiting for him as a legal aid. I don’t know about this one, I don’t want to touch it. I’m all for prison reform, second chances and rehabilitation, but this one is tough.. i do not know the guy, I came up in skateboarding around a lot of the old pro legends/icons and it seems that the majority of them believe that gator deserves a second chance and that what he did is truly not who he is (that’s pretty hard to fathom though because he did commit those heinous and disgustingly horrible crimes) But like I said, I don’t know the guy and rape, along with murdering a defenseless woman is definitely a non-forgivable offense.. so I’m going to go with “no”. He probably dosent deserve the second chance morally speaking. But the court’s conviction and sentencing in his case did leave the chance for parole when they sentenced him, (life with the possibility of parole in 25 to 30 years, so not life without parole) not that that makes him deserve that chance.


Side note, that first link was a good read lurper, the second link you posted dosent work anymore unfortunately….

30 years is a long time in prison, is there even any point to letting him out? How can you go back into society after that long.

You really can’t, it’s a mission to set you up for failure
Me: I found skate Jesus.

Slap: Yeah, well maybe if he does the crucifix switch I will believe it.

I think he does and they all go to battered women causes. I guess someone has all of his things from before he went to jail and he had them sell his board collection on eBay to support battered women causes, I think he raised a decent amount of money. Still doesn't change the fuck shit he did but at least it's something.

The reissues either just have "Gator" or "Vision" and not the full name. He does the same thing with the Gonz reissues. All money is pocketed by Dorfman and nothing goes to any causes.

I still don't see that parole has been reversed, but I'd be surprised if it's not. Otherwise, I could see Cab riding motorcycles with him.

Do you have another link to the first link you posted in your comment? I tried to download the story and it froze after the first couple of pages.

Served his time, should be set free
When nothing in society deserves respect, we should fashion for ourselves in solitude new silent loyalties.

Is Gator a threat to society today? I’d venture a guess no.

Does the Governor want this to become a potential Willie Horton issue as he seeks higher office? No.

Politics wins.

GTFO. He needs to spend the rest of his life in prison. This isn't about politics. It's about justice.

Anyone who rapes and murders should never be released. Murder is one thing but raping her and burying her in a surf bag in the desert are aggravators just to top it off. Guy is a demon, the way he murdered her was beyond brutal.

wouldn't "eye for an eye" mean executing him?
