[kj] Jamie Bulger.

[Paul Wady]

Just returned from our Roman honeymoon.  I'm married.  Its good.
 
Ah, the Bulger killers.
 
They arent the same people any more.  Over ten years of trying to change them/reform them/DON'T YOU REALISE WHAT THE FUCK YOU DID TO THAT CHILD? and finally a Judge decides they should be released.  If you wanted to punish the killers, they should have been executed at the time.  Plenty of societies did stuff like that and still do.  A dark corner, a quick move and out the door.  Bye bye murderers.  Simple.
 
Instead, I think its a bit late.  If you did to them what they did to that toddler, you'd be doing it to completely different people now.  Thats whats been going on as far as I can see.  Years of intensive treatment, to the point that one day or night those people may have woken up to realise what they did, the way Jamie's Mother does every single minute of the rest of what she looks forward to as a life.  Jamie does not, of course.  
 
That's punishment.  Live with that.  I'm Autistic and I can feel something about this!  Imagine how they are?  There are worse things than just ending the torment, like spending the rest of your life looking over your shoulder?  Wondering if anyone knows what you did?  
 
Wondering and waiting.  

Keep Smiling...
