Jon Venables (James Bulger killer)

[UFGN]

So this individual is back in jail for breach of parole, nine years after his release for the shocking murder of James Bulger.

The bloke is clearly pond life but I dont know about you, I dont like being told what to think by the f***ing Sun. Who the f**k are they to judge morality anyway.? Low life money grabbers.

This individual, Venables, despite his terrible crime, does not in my opinion deserve to be set up to be murdered by the glorified Lynch mob that is the UK press. And lets not pretend otherwise, they would love it if he ended up dead. He should have served longer in jail in the first place for what he did, yes. But despite commiting that evil act can we not forget that he was TEN years old at the time. To conduct a Witch hunt now seems sinester to me.

I dont see why people are demanding to know why he has returned to jail

Do they show this much interest in other people who have reoffended?

And other offenders are probably a greater risk. This is just shameless paper-flogging. Its no better than selling tacky James Bulger Memorabilia in my opinion. Its as low as that.

Doesnt help Bulgers family to move on

I agree UFGN, nothing more needs to be said about how despicable what they did was. Making a point about slating the Bulger killers is like making a point to slate Hitler, there's no need, everyone knows.

They were 10, they are a unique case in history. The case is probably barely comprehensible for the courts and professional psychologists let alone anyone else. I am not trying to take the edge of what they did in any way by saying that (that would be absurd), just that people who think they know what is best in terms of their sentence and how their rehabilitation should be handled bearing in mind their age, life experiences and mindset probably don't.


If they have re-offended then they should go back inside and it is good that Jon is back inside if he has reoffended, but I don't want a lynch mob to be looking out for them till kingdom come. If they haven't been rehabilitated then they will end up back in jail for good, where they belong. If they have been rehabilitated then I hope they would have a conscience and fully grasp what they did and the guilt would make their life a misery. In fact it wouldn't suprise me if one or both of them take their own life at one point or another.

Either way there is no need to stampede about it now. To be honest I think this story should have been kept under wraps, I don't know why it was released as it serves no purpose but to whip up a frenzy.

Making mistakes when you are young is one thing, these lads planned and carried out a brutal murder.
I know some people speak from the heart and get carried away, but I really believe that some people are born evil. These lads didn't make a mistake, what they did was calculated and planned.

[Reverend Gooner]

No mistake about it. My thinking really was that if they had to be released then if it is deemed safer for their rehabilitation to release them at 18 than 28 (and let them experience adult prison without any experience of growing up in the real world during their maturing years) then that was probably for the best.

He is back in jail now though so he blew his one chance, he won't be getting early parole again.

I read that the media got an official warning yesterday as certain papers are itching to reveal his identity which has leaked in some circles.

The guy is scum and deserves the new arsehole he'll get in prison the dirty scummy filthy c***! I reckon he should rot in jail

He will, even if there comes a time when legally he could get out with I reckon it would be a political disaster if it went through.

[gooner90]

i think he had his chance and hes blew it i think its time now that he faces time in an adults high security prison and i think his identity should be revealed as otherwise if he does go to prison they will probably give him different treatment so people dont realise, hes a grown adult now and has re offended serious crimes so go through the normal procedures and release identity otherwise hes protected so he will carry on let him face it now

[UFGN]

I also think that if he is guilty of these alleged latest offenses that he should of course go back to jail for a long time.

Where a problem arises for me is that I strongly oppose the death penalty, and as a result I cant be a hypocrite and support vigilante murder or anything that could facilitate it. Therefore I cant agree with annonymity being lifted in this case because it would then be a question of when, not if, an attempt would be made to kill him.

Child pornagraphy is why he was sent back to jail.

For some folk there is no changing. I for one do not want my taxes wasted upon this individual.

There are plenty of other means with which the govt or judicial system can misuse my taxes.

That is all.

Of course hes the scum of the earth... thats not seriously up for debate... but would you feel comfortable with a murder resulting from all this? Its OK if you are but im just saying that Im not because I kinda draw the line at taking any human life.

[Fabrestuta]

No one said he should be murdered.

[UFGN]

No one said he should be murdered.

Thats true, no-one said it, but if you allow this press campagne to reviel his identity he will end up dead as a matter of fact. Not saying I would loose much sleep in his case but that would still be seriously wrong. Kind of like a lynch mob.
