If you're going to lock someone up for good, you might as well just kill them.

Nice lad;

One of James Bulger's killers, Jon Venables, should be released from prison, the parole board has said.
James' mother Denise Fergus tweeted in response: "Venables is getting released. Just don't believe what I've got to go through again."
Venables was previously paroled, but sent back to jail for accessing child pornography.
Two-year-old James was killed in Bootle in February 1993 by Venables and Robert Thompson, both aged 10.
The toddler was beaten with bricks and iron bars and his body left on a railway line.
James's father Ralph was "disappointed and dismayed" at the decision, said his solicitor Robin Makin.
In May, Ms Fergus attended a parole hearing via videolink from Liverpool to demand a full examination into the killer's past.
'Indecent images'
James's father Ralph also told the hearing it would be "stupid" to free Venables.
Venables was released in 2001 but jailed again in 2010 after admitting downloading and distributing indecent images of children.
When he was re-arrested, it emerged that Venables, who was given a new identity on release from prison, had breached his parole conditions by visiting Merseyside.
He had developed drug and drink problems, started behaving anti-socially and revealed his real identity to friends.
It was found he downloaded 102 indecent images of children and had been distributing these images.

That time in prison clearly did him a lot of good then... didn't screw him up even worse...

50% success rate with those two.

I wonder what it is with the rest of the youth justice system.

Couldn't agree more - and I'd be quite happy to be the one who pulls the trigger in this instance.

A wannabe killer in our midst.

he is vermin but unfortunately the death sentence can't be reversed in case of errors.

I find it difficult to get excited about this really. And there's far bigger threats than him around who have never been caught.
