What you seem to be saying is that, in certain specific cases, the normal rules that govern the application of justice should be set aside.

So who would get to choose when this happens?

You?

Me?

The editor of the Sun?

People who dial the premium rate number given at the end of “Burn The Devil Children With Ant & Dec“?

Who?

Some things really are easier said than done.

But that was their age at the time, Jonesy.

What they did was terrible, almost beyond belief.

But they were tried and sentenced as children because that – whether Some Bloke On The Internet accepts it or not – is what they were at the time.

The fact remains that they were aged ten when they killed that poor lad, Jonesy.

That’s probably why people keep mentioning it.

Venables has re-offended but his alleged crimes are not to be allowed to be revealed or discussed to protect HIM.

You are mistaken.

His alleged crimes are not revealed in an effort to ensure that the defendant receives a fair trial for these alleged offences.

The assurance of a fair trial if we are charged with serious criminal offences is a safeguard extended to ALL of us, not just to one individual.

The use of the word ” contentment” is despicable.

Indeed.

Not this forum’s finest hour, I’m afraid. Not by a long chalk.

One or two of you might care to re-examine your recent postings, and ponder as to whether or not you may owe BumbleBee an apology.

The moderation team will be watching this thread very closely from now on.

Very nice. 🙂

There’s a busker at Southwark tube station who plays a Stick, accompanied only by a drum machine.

As you come up the escalator, you’d swear you were listening to a trio of drums, bass and guitar playing jazz.

‘Young sir”, eh?

Keep ’em coming….. 😀

Will that be because they were children when they committed this dreadful crime, Kev?
