jon venables charged with child porn offences

[kath3]

i'm of a similar mind i suppose though the thought of killing even a rabid child
feels wrong. i really don't think they're safe to be released. i wouldn't
trust myself to be right.

mary bell was another who killed as a child (she was 10) but found to have had diminished responsibilities. she's another who i could never have brought myself to have released.

i don't think psychopaths see their wrong doing the way we do.
to them it's just something to do. they have little conscience. it's one of the things that makes
me think they should never be released. you can't grow a conscience.

as well as your question about them living with themselves.

how can society reconcile themselves to say 8 years is fair justice for the willful taking of a life.
how do the bulgar family feel what justice should be with decisions like that

I don't see it as killing them but rather as putting them out of their misery.
8 years is a drop in the bucket and an insult to the families. That little boy isn't even mine and I feel anguish ... I can't even begin to comprehend what the families have had to go through.
