Paying the Price for Appeasement
I was truly saddened… and angered… to read this story. It would be nice to know that Britain has a death penalty… and would use it.
A man has been charged with killing a former soldier allegedly attacked on a bus after telling thugs not to swear in front of a lady.
Stan Dixon, 60, had been fighting for life since the attack on Saturday but died in hospital yesterday, police revealed today.
A 23-year-old man initially arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm with intent has now been charged with the murder.
Mr Dixon, renowned for his traditional values, was travelling home with his 41-year-old partner on Saturday evening when he heard the group’s bad language.
He asked them to refrain from swearing in front of a woman - but the couple were met with a torrent of abuse.
To avoid any further confrontation, they decided to get off at an earlier stop than they had planned.
But as they stood at the doors of the bus, which was nearing Mr Dixon’s home in Horden, County Durham, two of the gang allegedly pushed him in the back.
The father of three fell forwards off the bus, on to the road where he collapsed unconscious with major head injuries.
This is not at all unlike all those young thugs in this country who feel compelled to share their taste for 600 watts of vile, foul-languaged Gangsta’ Rap with anyone and everyone within ten car lengths.
But there is another, more universal lesson to be learned from this incident: Avoiding a confrontation with evil, a form of appeasement, can have its own, deadly consequences. Neville Chamberlain was a WWI veteran who tried to avoid confrontation. The price paid for his appeasement was hideously spread all across the globe.
