Unforgiven: The Boys Who Killed James Bulger (2001)
The murder of James Bulger is one of the most notorious cases in British criminal history…
On February 12 1993, James Bulger, a 2-yr-old from Kirby, England, vanished from a local mall while accompanying his mother… 2 days later his mutilated body was found on the side of the railway tracks – a nation was shocked.
That shock would quickly turn to unfathomable disbelief when the perpetrators of the crime turned out to be 2 10-yr-old boys (Robert Thompson & Jon Venables) …
“The pair were found guilty on 24 November 1993, making them the youngest convicted murderers in modern English history. They were sentenced to custody until they reached adulthood, initially until the age of 18, and were released on a lifelong licence in June 2001. In 2010, Venables was returned to prison for violating the terms of his licence of release.
The case has prompted widespread debate on the issue of how to handle young offenders when they are sentenced or released from custody.” Wikipedia

wow
SO, the big question looms:
What amount of responsibility & accountability is the judicial-system and the ones who’ve opted to cloak these 2 little buggers in a shroud of protective secrecy willing and prepared to accept if and when one or both of these 2 “little-“reformed-darlings” commits should (WHEN!)… they re-offend? What if someone else gets murdered at the hands of one or both of these freaks? THEN what? Will responsibility be shirked by those who protected these 2 and set them free back into Society with no REAL punishment whatsoever for their having abducted, tortured, and murdered a wee little 2 year old boy? No wonder the Public’s out for blood.. Also on the shoulders of “the murderer-protectors” for that man committing suicide after being mistaken and relentlessly harassed by MISTAKE as being one of the (now adult ) toddler- killers (post-‘treatment’.) The man is dead because the Public’s been left to GUESS the identity of these killers due to them receiving undeserved PROTECTION. Who protected that wee baby? Not the 2 boys who smashed his head in with a rock and forced him to lay on the rail-road tracks. That’s for sure. To hell with them. A person’s formative-years are age 1 to 6. These little monsters are the same as they were when they killed. 2 psychopaths, Only difference is more skilled at feigning normalcy. But their evil. It is still there. Only more intensified, disguised & complex. Just ask their FUTURE victims. The odds say: there will be more. WAIT.
