Jon Venables


Recommended Posts

This guy is in the news here in Canada, mostly because the leader of our Conservative party tweeted about a story in the Daily Mail that said the British government was trying to ship him to Canada which of course is not true because Daily Mail.

Can't wait for post-Brexit when we'll be free to trade our convicts and paedophiles to any nation we like without the bloody EU interfering! :angry:

Oh, and blue passports.

Can anyone explain to me why children who are child killers get demonized yet the likes of Marie-Thérèse Kouao and Carl Manning (the killers of Victoria Climbie) don't get the same treatment?

 

 

What Thompson and Venables did was awful, and it should not be forgotten, but why is it so much worse than what happened to Victoria Climbie, or Lauren Wright?

 

When adults kill babies and children, hands are thrown up in horror - but only for the length of the trial and until the end of the salacious details.

Myra Hindley and Ian Brady weren't too highly thought of.

They are both still in prison.

A better question is this one why did wealthy Samantha Ford who murdered her two young children get 10 years (eligible to be out in five)?

While Louise Porton who was not wealthy got life with a minimum of 32 years for murdering her two children.

You can just about get away with anything in this country if you are rich.

I think it was the fact that they were so young when they did it. Kids killing kids, especially the way they did it, was extremely shocking back then.

I think if they had gotten out and disappeared like Thomson seems to have done then there would have been less of an uproar but since the parole board has obviously screwed up in regards to releasing Venables people are rightly questioning why he was let out.

Because they don't get released after seven years, I think that would be the key difference here.
