RIP/Happy Birthday James Bulger

[Stee]

I didn't really want to comment on this, but since people like to keep digging it up...

As someone from the Liverpool area, I was 4 at the time of this incident. My brother was the same age as James when this incident occurred.

I can quite confidently tell you that if these bastards identities ever get leaked, they are gone. I think the real concern here for the authorities would be which one of a long list (we're talking a really long list) of people would have got to them first.

They sure as hell aren't worth £250k of taxpayers money.

10 years old is plenty to know the difference between right or wrong. You can be truly evil at 10 years old.

To reflect on previous posts, the reason the press like to bring it up every so often is because they are indeed festering interfering shits. Rather than let something like this lie and allow people to move on, they prefer to reinforce those feelings of hatred in the community - Don't buy the Sun.

The 2 things that will always be remembered in the minds of everyone here are James Bulger and Hillsborough. Not because people can't forget or want to forget, but primarily because they are not allowed to forget.

Tonight on BBC1: Jon Venables: What Went Wrong?

Just watched it. Really, it makes you wonder why America's system is different than England's. All my life, I've heard of corruption in America's legal system. People aren't convicted of obvious crimes, or they get small sentences for committing big crimes. Since I heard about the Bulger case late last year, I've fallen under the impression that England's system is even worse. Jon Venables and Robert Thompson never got the punishments they deserved. What those in charge failed to understand was that there is a difference between rehab and punishment. Thompson's rehab seems to have been successful. Venables was clearly not. After their rehab, they should have been thrown in jail. Instead, they walked away with new identities. It seems that time and time again, the justice system is spitting in Denise Fergus's face.

Through watching this program, I discovered the case of Derrick Robie, which happened shortly after Bulger's murder. The obvious parallels have been drawn (for example, the backgrounds of Smith and Bulger's murderers.) The one major difference between the two cases was that of Smith's sentence. Smith was sentenced to between nine years to life in prison. Even though he has gone through his rehab, he still remains in jail, having been denied parole five times. Do I believe that Smith has currently suffered an adequate consequence? No. Do I believe that he should, some day, be freed? Probably. Although it's impossible to tell, Smith seems sincere in his apologies and his future intents to help the public. I don't believe that everyone deserves a second chance, especially not murderers of children. Neither I nor anyone else but the victim's families has the right to forgive these murderers. However, once given a second chance, it's nice to see the offender fall out of the spotlight.

Jon Venables has dealt with murder, drugs, fights, recently emerging sex scandals (that were covered up before his initial parole hearing,) and the ownership and distribution of indecent pictures of children. He is up for parole in July of this year. Although it pains me to say so, due to the way that past events have been handled, it seems only likely that he will be freed. This will be another slap in the face to Denise as well as the rest of the good citizens of England.

Seems like he's going to be given a third identity - http://uk.news.yahoo.com/breach-sees-child-killer-venables-id-144410826.html

I also watched that documentary a couple of weeks ago, and in it they speak to a guy who had made friends with Venables after his initial release and that Venables had confessed his true identity to him and a few others.  I thought then that he would surely have to be given a third identity when he is released from his current sentence, because they can't allow any members of to know who he really is, even close friends.

I think he should be severely punished if he is found to confess again in future.  He has been given a lifeline that many people feel he doesn't deserve.  He has to prove himself by not throwing away public money.

Forget about his past crimes for a minute, he's still vry much a selfish, ungrateful cunt.
