Jon Venables

Lost in the noise that this was Venables, with all his notoriety, is the fact that he was convicted of downloading child porn, not creating it. As bad as that is, the worse offence, surely, is that committed by those who actually staged and photographed the images in the first place.

I'm not going to defend Venables, but I do think he's had an entirely f*cked up existence. What he did at 10 years old is indescribable, but I'm a firm advocate of 'blame the parents' and the life up to that point. He'd clearly already been entirely failed by everyone around him and his local authority, otherwise he wouldn not or could not have done what he did to poor JB. God knows what it's been like for him since. I'm not surprised he's ****ed up. It goes without saying that the family of JB were in a more terrible situation in the conventional sense, but I find the whole affair to be one sad thing after another for all concerned.

I think that an aweful lot has to be put upon the parents and the authorities around him that did fail him, that is unquestionable.

 

Unfortunately i also think that some people are just destined to be evil, JV was one of those people. I cannot understand the people that advocate that the kids had no realisation of right and wrong as it was not instilled in them from the parents, that is just complete bullsh*t.

 

Every kid understands right and wrong no matter whether it is 'taught' or not, that is why you know a kid is up to something as before they commit something that is considered wrong they will always look around to see if any adults are watching and if they catch an adult watching will look at them for a few seconds as if to see what they are going to do or say.

 

What IS taught to most kids is the ability to act on the instinct of commiting to something that is wrong and to avoid doing it. Unfortunately you get two camps of these kind of kids, those that are able to get away with what they want, and those that will do it anyways, JV was always in the latter group and with all the money being needed to prop up the economy at the moment anyone who is convicted beyond all reasonable doubt of peadophilia, murder or rape and especially murder that was torturous should be put to death and forgotten about.

Not sure killing him achieves anything, or makes anyone better than him. I don't believe people are born evil - don't believe in evil as such - although perhaps some are born with certain predispositions. I do entirely agree that most kids know what is right and what is wrong, (subjective anyway, let's be honest) but some certainly do not understand enough in depth the consequences of acts or what they mean. I know they set out to 'get some kid' or whatever but I'm not convinved they really knew what they were doing, what it meant. I have no intention of defending the acts - but I always advocate trying to understand rather than just kill, because if nothing else, that is more likely to prevent future barbarities more than a death sentence for 10 year old kids.

You really are a boring sap.

 

I would have kicked Thompson into an inch of his life if I had realised who he was at the time when I met him.

I know his name, I know he lives in the Valley Park area of Chandlers Ford.

 

I was told his address was a road that may or may not have the same name as a south coast resort and near a pub with an anagrammed name , het tuh

Everyone deserves a second chance, surely?

 

He was given a second chance when he was granted anonimity and a new identity after the JB case. Although distasteful I can understand that because he was himself a child at the time.

 

However, as an adult he has now blown that second chance and as a convicted paedophile should now be named and shamed and face the consequences of his adult actions the same as every other paedo out there.

I would suggest that the said person MIGHT have the same surname.

 

And the first name might have been changed to someones name whom you will be able to find linked to the said person... although not John... as it goes. And I am not saying any more because I am sure there are laws etc...

 

you just want to tell a few scousers and they'll do the rest.

To all those making bizarre claims about knowing the recent whereabouts of Venables, and threatening violence from behind their computer screens, Venables has been living until now in Cheshire. So any 'violence' actually perpetrated down here would have been against a perfectly innocent man.

 

Utterly, utterly pathetic.
