It wasn't enough. Not by a long shot.

eh? who are you to decide the length of sentences?
like i said, they was kids and they got punished, they'll be punished for the rest of their lives. whats it to do with you?

Just my opinion.
I am sure you would want them to get more than 8 years if they murdered one of your children.
(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Mon 20 Feb 2012, 11:09, Reply)

i wouldn't want any children in prison for that long
at that age they need something other than locking up, and victims aren't the in the best position to choose sentences

8 years for murder?

Of a scouser AA - a scouser.

Makes no difference to me Monty, even though it was a scouser from a vile family
8 years for premeditated murder is not enough

What about if they were French?

I'd have to check with the RSPCESM
Royal Society For The Protection Of Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys

premeditated? they planned it first?
here i thought it was just a case of taking some little boy for a walk, beating him up, shoving batteries up his arse and then beating him to death
(Quintno EXPERIMENT RUINED CANCELLED, LEFT 4EVER, Mon 20 Feb 2012, 10:41, Reply)

They tried to take another child first, took Bulger as the opportunity arose
They may not have planned to kill him, but they planned to kill someone, I'd say.

not neccelsarily, i had a fight with a mate once when i was that age, there were knives involved
and some considerable violence, but i don't think anyone involed really wanted to hurt anyone
(Quintno EXPERIMENT RUINED CANCELLED, LEFT 4EVER, Mon 20 Feb 2012, 10:45, Reply)

There's a difference between a fight and two boys taking a younger boy away from his mother, pelting him with stones, throwing paint over him, etc.

I'm not frothing at the mouth, nor am I the sort of person who believes they should be ripped apart
However, I do believe that they should have served their full sentences.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 20 Feb 2012, 10:59, Reply)

well i'm sure someone more experienced and qualified than you made the best decision

(Quintno EXPERIMENT RUINED CANCELLED, LEFT 4EVER, Mon 20 Feb 2012, 11:01, Reply)

More experienced and qualified, definitely.
Correct? IMHO, no-one who has committed a serious crime should get time off for 'good behaviour'

i'm sure there were other factors
you appear to ahve read heresay in a tabloid newspaper and taken it as fact
(Quintno EXPERIMENT RUINED CANCELLED, LEFT 4EVER, Mon 20 Feb 2012, 11:10, Reply)

I'll hold my hands up and admit I've been misled here
It appears that was a quote from Denise Bulger, not Lord Woolf.

However, a quote from Lord Woolf described the boys as being “genuinely extremely remorseful”. Obvious question, but so what? Feeling bad that you've done something doesn't stop the fact that you did it in the first place.

i'm going to stop arguing here because you're clearly an expert
you obviously know the full ins and outs of the whole deal and i know nothing

your definitely not coming across as someone who has picked up a few bits here and there and has made an unbiased decision
(Quintno EXPERIMENT RUINED CANCELLED, LEFT 4EVER, Mon 20 Feb 2012, 11:21, Reply)

Never claimed to be an expert
However, it doesn't take much to find out facts about the case.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 20 Feb 2012, 11:25, Reply)

you don't know man, you weren't there
at best you'll get a watered down, privately approved version of the full facts

(Quintno EXPERIMENT RUINED CANCELLED, LEFT 4EVER, Mon 20 Feb 2012, 11:36, Reply)

a murder they did when they were what, ten? i think the sentences were fair

(Quintno EXPERIMENT RUINED CANCELLED, LEFT 4EVER, Mon 20 Feb 2012, 10:41, Reply)

Premeditated, they clearly knew what they did was wrong, yet did it anyway.
Fact is Quinten, they didn't even serve their sentence. If they had, I think public opinion would be rather different.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 20 Feb 2012, 10:42, Reply)

doesn't premedititaed mean planned or am i being thick here?
i dunno how lkong they served vs how long their sentence was, but i'm still fairly sure they will never stop being punished for it

It depends on whether you are looking for retribution or rehabilitation.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 20 Feb 2012, 10:44, Reply)

i don't think rehab comes into it, it is punishment, and they'll never get away fromt hat

I have absolutely no response to this
