A Father Meets Killer Face-2-Face Who Killed His Son
Рет қаралды 2,347,371
3 жыл бұрынSeven years ago, Shane Harrison and Dillin Pakai were found guilty of murdering 25-year-old Sio Matalasi during a stoush between rival Mongrel Mob members in Wellington. Sio, who had a young son and a new baby on the way, was not a gang member. However, he was friends with several members of the Petone Mongrel Mob chapter who lived in a nearby flat.
He stepped in to try to help his mates and was shot at close range by 18-year-old Pakai. It was 43-year-old Harrison who had ordered Pakai to start shooting during the confrontation.
Matalasi has wanted to meet Harrison since the day he forgave him in court. After seven years, the meeting finally went ahead at Hawke’s Bay Regional Prison early last month.

I myself committed aggravated armed robbery, even though I was sentenced years ago and have been out living my life differently since then there's not a day that goes by that I don't think about the victims in the situation I was in and it tears me apart and once I had children of my own I hurt me even more to realize what I had done and how it's not about me when we all have a right to live in this world peacefully with each other and coexist and there was nothing important in this life that was worth taking somebody else's right to have a freedom or to live their life to the fullest with their loved ones in my opinion, It was very touching to hear this, grieving father forgive the other two boys and years later he's going into put this behind him by confronting the other man and it makes him a wonderful wonderful father grandfather and man, Amen..

I would NEVER have been able to behave like this "father" who's forgiven the killing of his son ! Never ever ! I would have seek revenge and destroyed the killer's family and then ended him in the most painful way... I don't care if it's not the "right" thing to do ! if you do me harm, i'll do you harm + bonus !! Where's the justice for the person killed here ? his life ended without him having any choices about it. Can someone ask him if he's willing to forgive ? it's not possible, therefore there's no forgiveness to be given !

This touch my heart and made me cry. I really believe that the forgiveness the father gave help both of them. And help Shane during his bid. The embrace they did was touching. And the fact that Shane stated he wasn't ready to get out tells me he feels like he needs to sit for his crime and also work on himself. But although this is a sad/beautiful moment the funniest part is when shame stated he don't think would be to able to attend church
