Weird how here in Australia most people are obsessing over the death of mark chopper read.. There was a interview on tv last night with him confessing to more murders. It was recorded 16 days before he died.. He is now basically somewhat of a Australian icon, well that's what has been said on tv...

Odd how he could do anything he wanted and is now loved for it and yet others who have committed crimes get treated the complete opposite..

Just a random thought.

It's because he killed like bosses of motorcycle gangs and pedophiles, rather than 'innocent' victims...

Career criminal Mark Chopper Read has confessed murdering four people, including missing Queensland bikie boss Sidney Michael Collins, in the last interview before his own death.

His first kill, he claimed, was as a teenager.

Read made the admissions in the tell-all session screened on Sunday night by 60 minutes but recorded 16 days before he died, aged 58, following a battle with liver cancer.

He claimed responsibility for two cold case murders, those of Collins in 2002 and union heavy Desmond Costello in 1971.

Outlaws Motorcycle Club boss Collins, who has been missing since 2002, was previously shot by Chopper in the stomach.

He said he later killed him when they caught up after one of his life-after-crime stage shows in Casino in northern NSW, and buried him near a football oval.

Chopper said his first murder at age 17 involved shooting Costello outside a Collingwood pub.

He recalled dragging the body of the Melbourne painter and docker with the help of an accomplice to the hotel's keg cellar. Police, though, never uncovered his involvement.

The notorious standover man also disclosed that he got away with killing pedophile and murderer Reginald Isaacs in Pentridge Jail in 1974, with authorities believing Isaacs committed suicide.

Chopper claimed he beat the man repeatedly before hanging him in his cell with his bed sheets.

Read said his third killing was that of Siam Ozerkam, aka 'Sammy the Turk', in 1987 outside the Bowjangles nightclub in St Kilda, Melbourne.

He said he told police it was a case of self-defence, and was acquitted, with a jury finding him not-guilty.

Read, who spent 23 years behind bars, previously boasted killing over a dozen people but was never found guilty of murder.

Despite the trail of death, Read told presenter Tara Brown he felt no remorse.


He's like a real-life Dexter...a murderer who kills 'bad people' - from a conventional moral standpoint.

So the media uses it to reaffirm conventional morality in the eyes of the public. It upholds values of justice and conformity to the state and the side of 'good', just like in the Tv show Dexter.

Taking the law into one's own hands if you will...

I don't know... the guy is missing an ear and his crimes seem to be of the body mutilation variety... seems like he is some sort of been there, done that, ethical glue of sorts for the underworld.

I enjoyed the film.

Because he's good looking and charismatic, hilarious what that combo allows you to get away with.

Plus it's a herd mentality, once he's won over some, considering the heinous nature of his crimes, he must have amazing qualities that overcome those flaws in the sheep's mind.

Chopper Read good looking? I think that statement must be a first.

I think people liked him (or were at least interested in him), because he was willing to openly speak about the criminal world. Most career criminals tend to keep quiet. He was open to telling stories. Was a good story teller too, which always helps. I think a lot of the stuff he talked about was embellished though.
