Indeed, he has no life, he's got nothing to offer society, and society has nothing to offer him. | |

The murders of James Bulger and Jonathan Ball in the Warrington bombing really affected me at the time as my eldest son was three at the times. I still can't fully comprehend how two little lads out shopping can have had their lives taken away from them. | |

To be honest, as I was around 11/12 at the time, I don't think I really paid due attention to the case. As a parent now, seeing the picture of James being led away by the hand really troubles me, and fills me with disgust. Such an innocent and trusting little boy. Cant help but think him and his family are now being let down massively. | |

Jon Venables... on 14:36 - Nov 23 with 17168 views | blue_oyster | One of the problems with our criminal justice system, is the use of the phrase 'jailed for life', noted in the BBC report and most of the media in this case, and many serious cases of murder. This helps to give a false immediate appearance that justice has rightfully been served, but is in most cases, untrue, and helps to perpetuate the myth that the justice system is good enough, and not actually its pathetic current state. | |

Jon Venables... on 14:43 - Nov 23 with 17128 views | BOjK | He's back in prison which would seem appropriate at this point. I can't see how removing the restrictions on disclosing his identity would help anyone. From the limited amount of information available it seem the rehabilitation of Thompson has been much more successful. | |

If his identity has been revealed, I don't give him much breathing time. It doesn't take long t do the rounds. | |

I think its a protection that he doesnt deserve. Whether it be his friends, relatives, inmates etc, he shouldnt have the benefit of being able to live a life without everyone he meets knowing exactly what he has done. And he clearly cant be trusted, so people he interacts with him should not be exposed to his depravity. He should have his false identity removed. | |

He is definitely a wrong 'un. I can't help wondering how life would have turned out for him if he had stayed at home that day, whether he would have done something similar at some other time and been on the same path that he is now, or if the opportunity for ill would never have arisen and he would have lived a more or less normal life. Ah well, we will never know, he did that evil deed and despite 'rehabilitation' at her majesty's pleasure he remains a wrong 'un. | |

See my remarks to a previous post re his identity. In the case of Thompson, he has seemingly lived by the terms of his probation and may well have somewhat rehabilitated himself. Therefore (although he is also scum), he doesn't deserve to have the privilege removed. Venables on the other hand, does deserve to have all privilege removed, not just his freedom.

Venables and Thompson were/are the same age as my older sister so it was just all so unbelievable. I just made the mistake of reading the wkipedia page on it, it nearly made me physically wretch doing so. Horrible stuff. I can understand the efforts made to conceal their identities as they will be murdered otherwise which no-one deserves. But there must come a point where, in Venables case, a line needs to be drawn and he has to go his own way as can't be trusted to not give himself up, or live a life without crime. Presumably Thompson has taken this opportunity he scarcely deserved. | |

Jon Venables... on 15:38 - Nov 23 with 16961 views | britbiker | This is a man who knows police will randomly check his computer., but still chooses to reoffend. How many times has he done this without being caught. Maybe he should feel the fear of someone finding him in a dark alley. He eventually revealed his I D to friends For those of you with children think how you would feel right now knowing this man had been in your home with your kids without knowing what he had done. Sometimes the law spends too much time protecting the wrong people. | | | |
Jon Venables... on 16:17 - Nov 23 with 16886 views | Swansea_Blue | The thing I find really sad is in that picture of him when he was 10 there's a child-like (obviously) innocence and vulnerability to him. He's rotten to the core, but it seems such a waste. | |

And that is why his identity should be kept secret; revealing it is going to incite further crime. | |

These posts are always unnecessarily daft. That's not going to happen is it. Even post brexit, no one's going to introduce a law where offenders get thrown to mobs, nor locked in rooms with parents etc. The reality is, this person needs to be locked away where he cannot harm anyone else, ever again. | |

Jon Venables... on 12:28 - Nov 24 with 16330 views | uefacup81 | It's a tough one. I agree that perhaps there comes a point where someone of Venables' ilk has to be deprived of their liberty permanently both for his safety, and that of the public at large. With the circumstances of the case, though, I think there has to be a case for leniency and understanding (perhaps not the most appropriate words, but the best I can come up with for now). For two boys of age ten to do what Venables and Thompson did has to suggest that there were serious psychological issues at play, be it issues they were born with, or that manifested themselves at a later date perhaps as a result of upbringing. Whilst there's no condoning their actions, or mitigating the severity of what they did, is it fair and reasonable to 'throw Venables to the baying mob' perhaps solely because of urges, ideas, and beliefs that he has no control over? Regardless of psychiatric reports, I cannot believe that anyone who carries out such actions is 'wired up properly'. | |
