On Venables...

I've followed this story with interest, and have reached a conclusion that I didn't expect to reach: it was a good thing that Venables was released.

Reading between the lines of the reports, he has spent the years since his release cowering alone in fear of his life on a daily basis, trudging along at minimum wage jobs without even the prospect of a girlfriend to cheer him up.

Sounds like the useless cunt has had a rougher time out of prison than in.  Mentally that is, and that's more important as far as revenge is concerned than repercussions of a purely physical nature.

Good.

Now it's time for the physical repercussions.  I hope you took a big tube of KY to court with you, you evil piece of shit.
