In 1993, in Liverpool, two ten-year-old boys kidnapped a two-year-old boy from a supermarket to the railroad. After abusing him, they brutally stoned him to death and dumped him on the tracks. Until a train passed by and crushed him in half... the unfortunate kid named James Bulger. After this incident, the whole British Isles were shocked. I really can't figure out how they could do such a cruel thing to a young child. What kind of hatred had to be planted in their hearts to make such a beastly act?
Because the two murderers were only ten years old and could not be sentenced by adult law, after eight years of discipline, the two children were released when they turned eighteen. They changed their names and surnames and lived a whole new life. The storyline is the same as Boy A. In news reports, the two boys are referred to as Child A and Child B. James' angry mother appealed, arguing that the pair should be held for a few more years, but the judge dismissed them.
In the movie, we see that Jack is suffering, helpless, and has nowhere to escape after his identity is discovered. But I'm thinking about a question, do people around him have problems with him like that? Shouldn't a man have to pay for his wrongdoing? These children can be reborn and start a new life, but isn't James' mother, the father of the little girl killed in Boy A, destined to live a life of bereavement? Is this fair?
Every child comes to the world as a little angel. What makes them cruel and ruthless? No child is born evil, it is society that makes them evil.
Jack is a loveless child. His mother had cancer and his father neglected him. He couldn't keep up with his studies and was bullied at school. No warmth at home. So he started skipping school. While truant, I met a partner, Philips. Philips was an even more unfortunate child. It can be seen from the ruthlessness with which he hits people. Finally killed. Although Jack is just a support.
For people who don't know Jack's background, he is simply an angel. Hard-working, kind-hearted, helping friends and strangers in critical situations. He takes his feelings very seriously. His serious attitude makes him seem out of place in today's flashy world. His sincere confession was that the girl mistook it for a joke. He truly appreciates the concern of those around him. A pair of shoes and a birthday present moved him very much. Jack didn't get the love, he desperately needed it. If he got enough love, maybe he wouldn't go down that path.
I remembered a friend who used to be in "Backgammon". He said that once the public security bureau came to their factory to arrest someone, and a worker was arrested, who was said to be a murder suspect. But the man performed very well in the factory and was a very honest employee. After such people are punished for what they did, should society give them another chance?
Is it fair for the murderer to be sentenced to ten years, twenty years or even life imprisonment or the death penalty? I don't know, really don't know. The deceased has passed away, and the murderer is powerless to return even if he puts his life on the line. In fact, even if the murderers do not go to jail, God has a way to punish them. After Jack was released from prison, he often suffered from uneasy conscience and nightmares. I think this guilt will follow him for as long as he lives.
Woohoo, I hope the tragedy doesn't happen again.
