I saw this on Facebook today and my immediate thought was that the IQ of the group is that of the least intelligent member of that group. And this Facebook group has thousands of members whose avowed intention is to kick off Facebook two people whose only crime may well be having the same name and being born in the same year as the killers of the child James Bulger.I have no sympathy for the killers, although they have served their sentence and I am not at all convinced that the ire and hatred of this crowd is more about getting on the bandwagon than any true feeling (Were all those people really affected that badly by the death of Princess Diana?)
As I understand it the two lads have gone into hiding to avoid being murdered by the people that object so much to murder. (Bit like murderers who attack rapists in prison, because clearly the murderer holds the moral high ground there.) So signing up to Facebook under your own name is pretty foolish. I am assuming that someone is managing their new lives so that person must be pretty pissed off at the moment. Months of careful work to give these lads a new life somewhere down the drain because they settle into their new homes, make new friends and immediately dump their new nom de plumes and sign up for Facebook under names remembered by half the country...
I was tempted to suggest to the Facebook posse (in the western sense) that it could be the wrong person but I doubt they would listen, much easier to think like the herd really... Oh and if we are being a cynic, want to bet on public grief, TV specials and other media wankfest when Jade Goody dies?
