Picture of Robert Thompson and John Venables (Jamie Bulgers Killers) on facebook

Andy-Pandy

So, i've just seen a picture of Jamie Bulgers killers, Robert Thompson and John Venables, on facebook. What do people think of this? Do they have a right to anonymity? I'm in two minds about this, their crime was horrendous, but they were only 10 at the time, they have served their time and hopefully been rehabilitated. I dont think their pics should be public, but i can understand peoples desire to know what they look like. It wont do anygood though, and could lead to some mob justice.

I'm not going to link to the pic.

Yea, as grown men. Taken within the last few years. You would easily recognise them from them. I'm sure everyone with a Facebook account will see them sooner rather than later.

Death and Taxes

I thought there was a court order preventing their pictures or personal details being published?

John Venables I believe, what about Robert Thompson though. If he is living an ordinary life now, does he Deserve for all this to come out?

Thought that myself...I read when one of them was released he got a right to anonymity and he changed his name..

There is, This is the text that came with the pic.

The police are trying to stop this pic circling the Internet as it will uncover the real identity of Jon Venables (top) & Robert Thompson (bottom) who kidnaped a 2 year old boy from his mother in a shopping center and brutally murderd him... I say they should be seen for what they are... So share.. Share... Share.... SHARE...

I don't see what good hounding them would do, frankly. What's done is done and nothing is going to change that.

If you're talking about a photo of them together looking like alcoholics... That isn't them. Thompson has dropped off the radar.

However Venables keeps disclosing his identity, looking at child porn and hanging around liverpool. Recent photos are widely circulated & you'll find them (and his most recent identity) on google easily enough.

Seen them too. One still looks for dodgy.

They should burn in hell after being tortured to death slowly and painfully! - They served their time and the justice system should be respected - I'm normally all for human rights but these two should be hanged - Mob justice completely undermines the basis of a civilised society - If anyone ever laid a hand on my kids I'd kill them and do the time gladly - human rights are for everybody or nobody - damned do-gooder lefties - crazy uncivilised lunatics - if that was your kids you wouldnt say that, if you dont have kids your point doesnt matter - SCREW YOU! - SCREW YOU!

mod: god dammit.

yes

There's some kind of myth out there that all people are capable of rehabilitation. Not sure where it came from.

I saw the picture you're talking about OP and imo, It's a dangerous thing to be posting on Facebook or any other site. These could just be random innocent people who bear a slight resemblence to Thompson and Venables. Might not be them at all.

There have been a couple of cases of violence due to mistaken identity against innocent people, one woman was attacked after she was mistaken for Maxine Carr and another man was attacked after being mistaken for John Venables.

And yet you'll still get the idiots crowing for vigilante "justice". The mind boggles sometimes.

The pics of Venables where he's working in a well known restaurant in the North West are, I'm fairly reliably informed, valid. That's not the same pic on facebook that this thread is about. A quick search will find it for you.

Thompson has completely gone off the radar. I don't think anyone really knows anything about him and I'd imagne the pic is bullsheet.

According to Wiki-

The pair were found guilty on 24 November 1993, making them the youngest convicted murderers in modern English history.

Alabama would be proud.

According to this reputable source Thompson is in Wheatfield.
Actual articles in proper papers on this. 4th or so post.

I think you'll find the article is quoted from the Irish Sunday mirror.
Another em reputable source.

Everytime i see this on my facebook i comment with "do you have proof that the adults pictured are in fact thompson and venebles or are you just blindly reposting something from a third rate celebrity's facebook page like sheep?"

the pictures are soon removed.

ziggy23

I don't think it's either of them in that picture. The person who was supposedly Thompson was meant to be living in Ireland a few years ago but I thought it was proved t wasn't him?

Lenin Skynard

Will there be tits on page three of this thread?

Edit: oh I'm actually the first tit on page three

I fully expect pictures of Jamie Bulger's ma commenting on the Thompson/Venables pics to appear soon enough.

Facebook were right to remove it. People need to move on from this, it was a horrible crime, devastating for the family but there comes a time to let the hatred go.

I think the ban applies everywhere.

"The AGO has been alerted to a possible contempt of court. We are liaising with the MoJ (Ministry of Justice) and others to establish the facts,” a spokesman for the Attorney General's office said. "We can neither confirm nor deny whether the pictures in question are of Jon Venables. It should be noted, there is a worldwide injunction in place which prevents the publication of any images or information purporting to identify anyone as Jon Venables.''

I think it's a very dangerous thing to be doing, sharing this photo could easily end up with someone being killed.

The guy who is supposedly Thompson in the photo is named Sean Walsh he committed a (heinous) crime in Kilkenny a few years back and bears a resemblance to thompson as a child.

As for the guys who is supposed to be venables, there are two photos going around and I don't think that they are the same guy, they look too different.

This is dangerous stuff to be messing with and I don't think people think enough to realise that by sharing these they are putting innocent peoples lives at risk.

Most of them spell using numbers. I don't think they realise much of anything.

So? Are their families not allowed get on with their lives?
