Current Events > I don't think any crime haunts me as much as the James Bulger murder

(+) Yeah! (+)

I saw a brief glimpse of the story on TV the other night and it all just comes flooding back. Something about that picture of the little boy being lead out of the shops knowing what he is being lead to is just heart breaking. I remember hearing about this case as a little kid too due to how horrific it was and it's a story that just seems to persist.

I have a toddler of my own now and it makes me even more sick to my stomach now. They're just the most trusting and vulnerable little things. The whole factor of it being children who did it adds another layer of fucked up.

And the fact that the ones who did it were just other kids a few years older than him too.

they were both 11. Old enough to know right from wrong. They specifically said they wanted to kill someone.

IIRC, one of them has since been in trouble with police for having child abuse materials on his computer

He was diagnosed as a psychopath while in prison, and that was ignored when he was released.

Also he had kiddy porn again recently. He should stay in fucking prison.
