James Bulger - 20 years ago today
I noticed this sad story on the BBC just, I was 14 when it happened still remember how shocked I was. Those two evil f**kers should never have been released in my opinion.

Considering what those kids did, I cannot believe they were ever released. Such a shame that justice was not served.
I cannot imagine how James' family have manged to continue life. I don't think you could ever get over the fact that it happened

I read the excerpt from Jamie's fathers book. What these two did to that poor child is horrific, it wasnt just a case of 'killing' a child.

This will be one of those crimes that never goes away, never gets forgotten about. Even in fifty years time this will still be deemed as a crime driven purely by evil.

I don't care how old the killers were when they did it, or anything about the 'reasons' for it. I seem to have managed to go through life without torturing and murdering toddlers, or anyone for that matter, and I don't see why anyone who does, regardless of their age at the time, should expect to remain alive.

From reading Ian Kershaw's Hitler biography, he had a reasonably ordinary childhood with a loving mother and a father who was not brilliant but normal. So he must have been okay as well then?
Why on earth do people have to find some 'reason' for the actions of the likes of these child killers? It doesn't matter why they did it, they did it, and in this case the punishment was pathetic.

It's important to understand the reasons things happen, that way maybe you can prevent it happening again. It could save lives, now surely that's 'reason' enough

Okay, I've no problem with that. But what about properly punishing those who commit the crime in the first place? You can't alter the reasons they did it, but to give them just eight years for what they did was unjust.
And quite frankly, investigating the reasons won't stop the next atrocity because there will always be some unknown nut case out there ready to act. It might help, but it can never eliminate the possibility.

The point I was going to make was that when you look at the complexity of what we are and the fact that the complexity of what we are is codified by DNA from two cells that are too small to see - well it is perhaps naive to think that we will all have the same capacity to be ideal reasonable types.
These two were clearly old enough to know what they were doing was wrong yet chose to proceed together in an extremely barbaric enterprise.
I just don't see anything "reasonable" about this, nor do I hold any ideology that makes me feel that I should do so.
Maybe I should have taken a sociology course at uni.

Be it by "reason" of their upbringing or whatever.
Perhaps that thought should have been more expanded upon in the post.
As an aside, I'm not too sure about those who think capital punishment for 10 year olds is reasonable though.
TBF, I suppose that thought is of more visceral origin.

maybe little Jamie Bulger would have grown up and been a "scally" too
Joyriding cars etc
we would have the usual suspects calling for his fiery death in a smahed up Audi

In my opinion if there was ever a strong argument for re-introduction of the death penalty, this is it.
My son is nearly two and if someone tried this or something like this, I'd rather see him from prison than visit his grave like Jamie's parents have too, if you follow my drift.
Rest In Peace Jamie.
