Mock Outrage, Child Killers, and Mob Rule.


There’s been a huge fuss made over the last day or two about Jon Venables. For those that don’t know who he is – click here – but bear in mind the details of his crime are quite horrific.

Recently, this (then a child himself) child killer, has been rearrested and imprisoned. Details are emerging via the press that it’s for child pornography charges. Now all of these charges, previous and present, are extremely serious indeed, and should without question be dealt with by the full force of the law, and no doubt will be.

His crimes, serious though they are, are not the reason I’m writing. The reason is the mob rule mock-outraged idiots demanding to know more details of the crime, more details of JV, more, more, more.

Firstly, many, though not all, will be the typical mob rule morons who confused the word ‘paediatrician’ with the word ‘paedophile’ and daubed a doctor’s house with graffiti! (Click here for the story). You’ve got to laugh at this level of stupidity. Ricky Gervais lampooned it perfectly, asking why would a child molester have a brass plaque outside his house!?!

These are the types of ‘righteous’ people who will signing petitions on Facebook etc. demanding this, that and the other. That’s if they have time to go Facebook between episodes of Jeremy Kyle and Trisha.

The second type of people who will be frothing at the mouth, and throwing women and children over their shoulders to get to the front of the ‘offended queue’ will be your tabloid journalists, god love ‘em. Newspapers exist for one reason alone, to make money. Any sensationalist story like this will be milked for all it’s worth (plenty) because the Kyle/Trisha watchers won’t be able to get enough of it down their fat stupid necks.

The Kyle watching public NEED situations like these to make themselves feel better about their own grubby little lives. They may be skanking benefits, have half a dozen kids to half a dozen men, be overweight, thick as two short planks due to refusing education, and annoying, but at least they’re not as bad as some villain in the paper.

Not only are the tabloids milking dry a story which deserves less airtime due it’s horror, they are saying they are doing it for moral reasons, not profit, and the people who buy into it, literally, are made to feel better by comparison. Everyone’s a winner! The papers sell by the million and mug the people into believing that tabloids actually exist for another reason other than profit, and the Kyle watchers and tabloid readers feel better about themselves for a few days. Well done everyone.

Yes, the crimes are horrific, the worst of any type of crime in fact, but the mob rule morons who justify their own crappy existences by comparison don’t half get on my nerves!!
