It's sad that people act only for their own benefit. It sounds selfish but yeah that's the fact. I guess people are just too coward to fight or even do something for what they believe in and many of those who did end up dead or imprisoned.
Going back to Jon Venables, he is really ----- up. None of which is his faullt. He had a dysfunctional upbringing. But does he deserve a second chance because his therapy sessions worked and he's actually improving? I think not. That two year old child didn't even get half the chance so why does he (and R. Thompson)???
Let's say yes he's ok to to be released in the outside world and he is actually sane. I think it's only a matter of time for him to snap again. The media will push him. Now who's the real victim in that?
But you know what's ironic? I was reading the Times the other day, on one page saying about Jon Venables getting released after 8 years of imprisonment instead of life-long sentence and on the other saying that "Short prison term doesn't cut crime".
