James Bulger's murderer back in jail
 
This should put paid to the rumour that the murderers are living in Australia.

One of them has been returned to jail - no reason given at the moment.

Let's hope he bloody rots there.
Anyone who hurts children ought to bloody die in the same way

Looks like they never could be as they are under life licence, which I imagine means under constant surveilance by british police.

Totally sad affair

Every year in the UK numerous children die at the hands of adults ... but this case has shown that large numbers of people only go apoplectic for revenge when kids kills kids..

why is that?

No crime has ever chilled me more. I had never believed in being "born evil" but how else can you explain their actions?

I think people go apoplectic when adults kill kids. Not sure where you get the opposite impression from. :confused:

Because kids haven't been corrupted like adults, at least in theory. They shouldn't have the capacity for such acts. Revenge is pointless. No punishment can ever fit crimes like these, and never should, or we are like them as a society.

I don't get that impression. It's considered worse than some because it is worse. But there are adult cases just as bad and they generate as much apoplexy (e.g. Baby P).

I dont think the murder seems worse. Its awful though. I think 2 kids completely wasting their lives like this is whats shocking to me. Kids being killed is quite common. Kids being killed by kids is far less common. I dont feel more angry towards these kids than an adult who has killed kids. I feel more sad for them than anything.

These kids didn't just kill him, they tortured him in horrific ways as well.

And at an age where they clearly knew right from wrong. I am an empathetic guy. I have argued with a few on here about the death penalty etc. I can feel no compassion for these murderers tbh

Yes but thats irrelevant as adults do that as well. In fact, worse has been done by adults such as rape. I'm not trying to say that they are victimes. Just feel that these kids (at the time) were not as fully aware of what they were doing as what adults who commit such crimes are.

I feel nothing for them. I just hope Venables hasn't harmed anymore children or any more people for that fact. I hope he's back in for something like stealing a car - if it is harming another human (or animal which it also may be) then I feel an outcry for letting them out.

I do however, fell for Jamie's mum. God knows how she must be feeling.

So you're saying that rape is worse than what those vile little boys did to him? Do you know what they did?

And they didn't know what they were doing? When you were 10 did you think it was acceptable to take a 2 year old off to a railway line and torture him endlessly and toss him on the track? No you were probably playing Top Trumps or marbles like the rest of us.

Those two boys were evil sick little individuals and I hope they suffer greatly for the rest of their lives.
