Venables & Thompson - 10 year old killers

[HairOfTheDog]

James Patrick Bulger (16 March 1990 – 12 February 1993) was a boy from Kirkby, England, who was murdered on 12 February 1993, at the age of two.


James Bulger, murder victim

He was abducted, tortured and murdered by two ten-year-old boys, Robert Thompson (born 23 August 1982) and Jon Venables (born 13 August 1982).

Bulger disappeared from the New Strand Shopping Centre in Bootle, near Liverpool, while accompanying his mother. His mutilated body was found on a railway line two-and-a-half miles (4 km) away in Walton, two days after his murder. Thompson and Venables were charged on 20 February 1993 with Bulger's abduction and murder.

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.

Next several posts copied from another thread.

Don't mind CN Duchess, he's biased.

He's arguing so strenuously because his last name is either Venables or Thompson.

Venables and thompson were under the age of criminal responsibility at the time.

They were still locked up for over 8 years, one of them was recently thrown back in jail for having child abuse images on his computer so their incarceration obviously fucked them up.

Good.

[HairOfTheDog]

Didn't they just let Venables out again?

Didn't they just let Venables out again?

Yeah I think he served 18 months.

There are various groups on facebook and twitter that continue to put photos of venables and thompson as adults online and where they are living.

My heart bleeds for them.

These 2 boys look like they were abused themselves. Unless the Brits naturally have rotten and missing teeth these kids look like their teeth were knocked out

Nice looking lads.

[HairOfTheDog]

That's one of the photos that was pulled from facebook.

I just had to google those two nasty little fucks, somehow I've never heard of them until now. They should have been given the fucking death sentence much less ever being released back into society, I don't care how old they were. Jesus Christ.

If I was the mother of that poor little boy it would be my life goal to hunt those motherfuckers down and torture the shit out of them.

Forget trying some of these kids as adults, if it were up to me I send them straight to old sparky.

The photos released after the trial show that both boys had their teeth then. Doesn't the UK penal system allow for dental exams/treatment?

They look absolutely disgusting. Hard to believe they ever looked like this:

Even in those baby faced pictures it wouldn't hurt my feelings to watch them fry.

They would have been offered dental treatment while they were locked up whether or not they took it or not is another matter. I've heard talk about them both living on diets of fast food, sugary pop and other junk. There's also rumours about them medicating themselves with alcohol and drugs after they were released as well, I'm happy to say it looks very much like both of their lives have gone right down the crapper.

What those two motherfuckers did to that little kid was truly horrendous the stuff of nightmares. They beat him, tortured him, sexually assaulted him and stamped on leaving him for dead on railway tracks. They knew what they were doing and they enjoyed it.
If the vast majority of the UK population had their way they would be hung, drawn and quartered in public.
After their time in youth custody I would have transfered them to an adult jail where they would have to stay for a loooooong time.

How sweet that they reunited after being released from youth custody, they look so happy. If they ever make a Deliverance 2 they can get roles as inbred banjo players.

I don't think that picture is really them... however I do hope that they are as toothless as the two pictured.

[HairOfTheDog]

I don't think that picture is really them...

It isn't.

And I wanted it to be, too.

WTF???? Who do the British think they are? I was looking for some real pics and stumbled on this article...

The men admitted breaching a January 2001 injunction, binding on the whole world, imposed before Venables and Thompson were released, which outlaws anyone making information public that reveals their appearance, location or new names.

Binding on the whole world?? Huh? There were some pictures out there apparently (the guys in the story will serve 9 months for posting them) but seriously? If I could find them and post them on Mock, the British would be coming...?

I think it's sweet that the government gave them new names and identities. I certainly wouldn't want to know if one of them were living next door to me.
