I WAS appalled by the comments in 'Bulger's killers are victims too,' (Letters, January 18).
The do-gooders have been clamouring in the European Court of Human Rights for the forthcoming ill-merited release of these two killers while totally disregarding the helpless young victim, his parents and relatives.
Robert Thompson and Jon Venables are entitled to the same amount of compassion as they offered to their innocent young victim and should remain behind prison walls for life, meaning just that -- life!
The law has failed to make adequate provision for these heinous types of killers. We are a nation of softies.
