So there's a picture of 'Jon Venables' floating round on twitter.
What if it isn't him?
Fair enough, it looks like him, but I have friends who grew up looking nothing like they did when they were youngsters. Two pictures fifteen years apart is nothing in the way of proof, in my opinion.
And there's a name attached, which I obviously won't post. If this person isn't him, and is named, is it fair to make his life a living hell over this?
Twitter certainly does have a lot to answer for.

So yes, as vile as it makes me sound, I do beleive making his life a living hell is totally fair.
That's something that is clear breach of the law, and you could get a mighty hammer hit you.
But what if this picture isn't him?
He got a new identity because the idiots are that stupid they beat up innocent people such as paediatricians up for thinking they abuse children.
I am glad he got a new identity because if he was living near me damned right I would not want anyone to know.
:mad:
As far as I understand it, the person pictured has been clearly heard claiming to be him; so either it is him or it's a complete dimwit who is just about now realising how stupid he is for making up such an incredulous thing to say.
Either way it's hard to fully sympathise,
it's not
Why on earth would the real JV do that ?
This. Totally agree
and I blame the gutter press for feeding the frenzy in order to generate sales.
Well he could hardly be called "normal" who knows what he would do?
Good of you to draw attention to it though
Or a third option: You've heard wrong and the person in the picture is an innocent party who hasn't been claiming to be him.
So just rumours and hearsay then?
I wish people wouldn't pull shit like this. It's really not helpful. Neither is going on about it when they do.
This stupid vigilante behaviour achieves nothing.
Aw, bless!
inb4 WHAT ABOUT THE VICTIMS STOP SYMPATHISING YOU MONSTER
Exactly. I am guessing that quite a few people will be trotting off to Twitter now to try to find the picture.
Nice bit of free publicity.
Quite.
Mind you, I'm posting in this thread so perhaps am slightly undermining myself. Bugger.
