vanables hoax text

[moyesboy]

3 out fo 6 of us at work today got the Venables hoax text...

Theres an innocent bloke in the NW worried for his own and his family's safety tonight :(

Think before you pass crap like that on. I think we have no choice but to trust the authorities with this one.

Loads of idiots were propagating it round Facebook earlier this week :(

I mod on another forum and we have had to pull the name from the forum already today.

Not particularly clever as the bloke in question went through the mill over this 3 odd years ago and pretty much showed he was not Venables. Also, even if he were then when this goes to court and the name has ended up in the public domain and it is public knowledge this person is John Venables then his solicitors will be able to successfully argue he will not receive a fair trial.

Anyway, I am off to firebomb my local paediatricians office.

Let me say as a fact, anyone who passes on such information, true or false, will be in contravention of the Court Order / Injunction banning the naming of Venebles. This will be especially true if someone got hurt as a result.

If you pass on such info there will be an audit trail and you will be in very serious trouble. Have no doubt!!!

This is a [B][I][U]very[/U][/I][/B] serious issue. You could end up in prison just innocently passing true or false info.

So somebody in the NW has been named as JV as part of a cruel hoax?

God some people are ****tards.

The 'tards are the ones that send it on.

My mother told me about this yesterday evening and was about to send the text to me (even though I was stood next to her). I put her straight. If there's no proof, it's idle gossip, and anyone with that name (there must be more than one) could end up being murdered at a result of people acting on impulse and not thinking things through. Or then again, they could just be morons.

When anyone sends me any stupid "pass it on" message by any means (mail, email, text, facebook), even if it says I'll be cursed or have bad luck (oh no! I'm scared!) it gets deleted immediately.

Yeah, there are lots of sick twisted c**ts out there, and some of them would still feel justified in harming the guy even if they found out it wasnt true, its happened before, where people have been proven to not have done something and still the hate flows.

There was one bloke in the papers a while back who was accused of being a paedo, the police knew it was not true, issued the neighbourhood with notices it wasnt true yet he still got abuse and eventually the stress killed him.

Its always the same types involved every time, those who for one time in their lives think they have the moral highground and a justifiable right to commit violence, instead of letting the police and courts operate and respecting that, they'd rather do it themselves just to pretend they're big and tough, when it just shows that they're small and pathetic individuals.

I'm not saying the police or courts are perfect, or even close, but they're a damned sight closer to that than some pack of twats who think they have the moral or legal authority to pass judgement and sentence.
