Did Diana's death really shake the world??  (Definitely not mine)   And if it did, should it really have done??

Well it definitelt affected my life, I was a young fella at the time and Sunday Morning Cartoons and tv shows were a big part of my life but that morning they were cancelled beside of her death...  :-[  Goes without saying, I was not one bit impressed

The picture and its story have been circulated on the internet so often that some question whether they are authentic. They are.

Clancy describes the famous picture this way: "Samuel thrusts his tiny hand out of the ******** opening of his mother's uterus. As the doctor lifts his hand, Samuel reacts to the touch and squeezes the doctor's finger. As if testing for strength, the doctor shakes the tiny fist. Samuel held firm. At that moment, I took this 'Fetal Hand Grasp' photo."

In a story he wrote about the incident, Clancy added,

"As a doctor asked me what speed of film I was using, out of the corner of my eye I saw the uterus shake, but no one's hands were near it. It was shaking from within. Suddenly, an entire arm thrust out of the opening, then pulled back until just a little hand was showing. The doctor reached over and lifted the hand, which reacted and squeezed the doctor's finger. As if testing for strength, the doctor shook the tiny fist. Samuel held firm. I took the picture! Wow! It happened so fast that the nurse standing next to me asked, 'What happened?' 'The child reached out,' I said. 'Oh. They do that all the time,' she responded."

Clancy said the experience changed him from pro-choice to pro-life

Yeh. Dianas death was so important alright, most especially to the red tops who told everyone how important it was so they could sell papers. Unfortunately idiots in the uk and even here bought into the mass hysteria for some bizarre reason. Can someone tell me how her death shook the world exactly?

Was it a Sunday morning? For some reason I remember it but think it was because I was up looking to watch the funnies and the news was on EVERY SINGLE channel. Did my head in.

If you look at the pacture of Tianamaan square there appears to be a bus in the background.  Was it business as usual for public transport?

Sure it's been like that with Michael Jackson too. Its receded a wee bit, but for several months every second street corner in NYC had street vendors selling t-shirts and DVDs and playing Michael Jackson videos with crowds standing around watching.

I think the reason we haven't seen anything like it since is that the people who lost the run of themselves were, in hindsight, so mortified by their unbelievably embarrassing behaviour that they keep their heads down ... and we should all be thankful for that

First Human X-ray 1896

To know something like the back of your hand is a timeless concept, one taken yet further by Wilhelm Konrad Roentgen. While working on a series of experiments with a Crookes tube, he noticed that a bit of barium platinocyanide emitted a fluorescent glow. He then laid a photographic plate behind his wife's hand (note the wedding rings), and made the first X-ray photo. Before that, physicians were unable to look inside a person's body without making an incision. Roentgen was the recipient of the first Nobel Prize for Physics in 1901.

This one is truly horrifying, as is the story of the photographer who took it. The fate of the girl is unknown - the photographer took the photo, but didnt help her. When it was published (winning a pulitzer prize), this came to light, and he came in obviously for much criticism - it raised debate about photographers, and to what extent they should do their job no matter the expense to others.

It all became too much for him, and he committed sucide when he was 33.

Was there not something on the board last year about the above photo and they were able to trace the child?

Or am I talking bollocks?

Could well have been something on here about it - I cant remember where I heard about it. Dont remember anything about the girl been traced though.

Having said that, I wouldn't like to dismiss your other theory - that you're talking bollocks - out of hand either; its always a strong possibility

They were only children and need rehabilitation not locked in  a cell for 70 years. Of course what they did was henious. Their background was horrendous and there was a girl of ten who did child  murder in the 60s and was jailed and then released when it was felt she was ready to rejoin society. She didn't offend after. Keeping those boys in jail forever won't bring Jamie Bolger back.
Then there's Jimmy Boyle in Scotland who reformed and helped many people turn away from crime. You ever heard of him? If you had your way he' d still be in jail.

Are those pair of animals now free enjoying a new life at tax payers expense?

They were only children and need rehabilitation not locked in  a cell for 70 years. Of course what they did was henious. Their background was horrendous and there was a girl of ten who did child  murder in the 60s and was jailed and then released when it was felt she was ready to rejoin society. She didn't offend after. Keeping those boys in jail forever won't bring Jamie Bolger back.
Then there's Jimmy Boyle in Scotland who reformed and helped many people turn away from crime. You ever heard of him? If you had your way he' d still be in jail.

I'm sure the parents of Bolger and the other murder you spoke about are heRtened that they were "rehabilitated". Plenty of children have had "horrendous" backgrounds and don't torture then kill an infant. You sound like a social worker.

The two boys need help and will have got it. In fact, there would have been hundreds of thousands of pounds spent on their trial, their defence, their rehabilitation etc etc.

What I'd like to know is what punishment their parents received.

For every rehab sucess story there are thirty re-offenders, ffs bringing up their backgrounds is ridiculous, they murdered a child, a feckin innocent child and all you can do is bleat about their upbringing. >:(

I tend to think more about the child who got robbed of a chance to live his life, of his family who will be forever haunted by the death of their child and the fact that he was killed in such disgusting fashion.

Some of you bleeding hearts would dance to a different tune if it was your son that was butchered, I am all for those two spending their days were they can harm no one else, they deserve to a life inside, the took the life of a child who deserved a lot better fate than the one the meted out to him.

Boys I just re-read the history of the Bulger case, and Im sitting here with a lump the size of a f**king turnip in my throat and tears in the eyes. Look at the pictures of that child and the innocence that was lost.

It was an almost unprecedented crime, and in fairness, to suggest locking up 10 year olds for the rest of their lives doesnt really make much sense. They need watched and controlled for sure, but this dispicable act was done with the mindset of a 10 year old - hard to hold them accountable as adults really.

That said - the real tragedy is the horror and the pain that little child endured.

Jesus I am sick to the stomach.

Well said.  Rehabilitation is a term is often thrown about when individuals commit henious crimes.  Do we now live in a society where you can take a life and the resolution is basically a spell inside with the overall objective of mending those who commit the crimes?  The Justice system is a joke, I don't understand how there is constantly life sentences handed down for murder etc when in fact it actually means 12 odd years and away you go.  Venables and Thompson should never have been freed.  There is no hiding evil, yet it seems to be common place these days to do excuse alot of evil acts by categorising the culprits as mentally ill or use some other excuse.  I know that when I was 10 I wouldn't have ever dreamt of doing what them boys did, and I know of people with tough/bad upbringing who wouldn't either.

That is a very important point and should be key to this. Personally I can barely remember being 10 but I do know I'm not the same person now as I was then.

who said all? did you read all?
so whats your opinion on this intriguing topic then haran? some photo eh? two young lads taking a toddler off to his awful sick death.

A really shocking photo.

Another shocking picture from the time was the mob in Liverpool trying to get the two boys responsible. I can only imagine what they would have done to them. I haven't seen a reaction like that since. Even cases such as Ian Huntley or Roy Whiting were children were killed by adults haven't caused such a reaction.

Zap
Serious question, have you ever read what was done to the kid? It was the most horrific mutalation i ever heard about. I know most of us would like to think we would behave rationally and let juctise take its course if i knew that child i cannot guarentee i wouldnt be in the mob.

Read recently that the mother found out the whereabouts of one of them and went to confront them, prob for peace of mind. She was face to face with one of them but couldn't do anything, just broke down and left.

Aside to this, they are raising funds to build a new home in Liverpool for badly bullied children and it is been needed the Jamie Bulgar house.

I think I remember reading that some of what they did to James Bolger would never be known by the public due to the nature of it.

Yes-What they did was horrific. No-one has said otherwise. The debate is about the punishment and some (including me) feel they should be given a chance to be rehabilitated.

I have but don't know if I heard all the details. I am well aware that I'm speaking from another Country 17 years later. I can make no guarentees as to what my reaction could have been in different circumstances but I do know what my opinion is now.

Someone hit the nail in the head here with the question about 'what punishment Venables and Thompson's parents got'?

I have the feeling that the world would be a better place if we promptly got rid of people who carry out such vile acts without dwelling on any guilt that "we" as a society should have after the effect. Just get rid of them because they deserved nothing better at the time and then move on. Of course having something like this would no doubt be riddled with practical difficulties and be impossible to implement, but thats the feeling I have. I think society would be all the healthier for it over time (in theory  :))

You said drop this debate, I said drop all debate. I assumed that since you have the right to express your opinion that this debate should be dropped, I have the right to express the opinion that all debate be dropped.

I of course was taking the piss (this is a mesage board after all) and since you have now tried to add to the debate by asking my opinion on the matter, I realise you were also, so alls good, isn't it?!

Anyway, I dont think anyones that bothered about the photo - it seems to be more the punishment the perpetrators got.

Imo, justice has to be seen to serve society and not just individuals, otherwise the victims would determine the sentence. We are emotional beings, and cant make decisions like that ourselves. I just know that I'm glad to live in  a country which doesnt have capital punishment, and which believes people can change. Often people dont change, but I would imagine this is one case where there is a strong likelihood that these boys will have changed, for the good.

True. They could stay the same however...

MARY BELL was convicted in December 1968 of the manslaughter of two boys, Martin Brown (aged four years) and Brian Howe (aged three years). Bell was ten years old at the time of one of the killings, and eleven at the time of the other.
Bell's mother Betty (née McCrickett) was a prostitute who was often absent from the family home, travelling to Glasgow to work. Mary  was her first child, born when Betty was 17 years old. It is not known who Mary's biological father was; for most of her life she believed it to be Billy Bell, a habitual criminal later arrested for armed robbery who had married Betty some time after Mary was born. Independent accounts from family members suggest strongly that Betty had attempted to kill Mary and make her death look accidental more than once during the first few years of her life. Mary was subject to repeated sexual abuse, her mother forcing her from the age of four to engage in sex acts with men.
Mary Bell strangled Martin Brown on 25 May 1968, the day before her 11th birthday. She was believed to have committed this crime alone. On 31 July 1968, her and a friend Norma Bell (no relation) took part in the death, again by strangulation, of three-year-old Brian Howe.
On 17 December 1968, Norma was acquitted but Mary was convicted of "manslaughter due to diminished responsibility", the jury taking their lead from her diagnosis by court-appointed psychiatrists who described her as displaying "classic symptoms of psychopathology". She was sentenced to be "detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure": effectively an indefinite sentence of imprisonment.
Bell was released from custody in 1980, having served 12 years, and was granted anonymity to start a new life. She has not re-offended. 

Should she be locked away for life or hanged? I don't think so.

any word of a few more photos in here instead of you's boys talking sh1te?  :P

you never answered me fox, would you leave your children with them?

Locked away for life would have been the punishment for her.  No matter if she reoffended or not, she committed a crime which should have kept her in a cell until she died.  Her victims or their family members never got much chance to rehabilitate.

The Venables/ Thompson crime had a similar ring to a another horrific kidnapping and murder around these neck of the woods about 14/ 15 years back. Scary that it happened so close to home.

If the one in question is the one I think it is, then it still sends a shiver down my spine thinking about it as the kidnapping happened less than 100 yards from my door.  He was taken out your way too, really bad time.  Is he ever likely to get out or will he remain in Scotland?

you can't have too much faith in their rehabilitation then. I assume you wouldnt like them living on your door step either.

You should read what Mary Bell done to her second victim, after he was dead. She should have never been freed.

I think rosnaruns point by way of example is this

64 people died in the recent mudslide in Brazil
96 people died at Hillborough
1000+ people died in the tsunami in 2009
Over a million Cambodians were killed by Pol Pot

so which deserves mention in this thread? Hillsborough shook our world but did it have the same effect on thee world?

All of them. I 'm sure the photos of those supporters being crushed up against the wire were shown all around the world and shocked anyone who saw them.

Yeah seen that, very difficult to watch.  What I had not realised before was that the tide had actually went out a few miles and everyone was shocked to see such a phenomenon and actually walked out the beaches thinking this was so unusual, then all of a suddent the tsunami gathered pace and enveloped everything in a matter of seconds.

Yada, yada, yada... there is already a thread on this, so I may paste the same reply....

Fair enough... he broke the terms and went back in. I'm not sure what your point is.
Should everyone released under the Good Friday Agreement be put back in jail because of Torrents Knight?

What about the many others who were released from jails and never re-offended should they all be rounded up now and returned to jail.

Jimmy Boyle has helped work with a lot of young offenders to try and help them mend their ways... we better throw him back in jail...

Jimmy Boyle (born 1944 in Gorbals, Glasgow) is a Scottish sculptor and novelist who was formerly a gangster.
Once reputed to be the most violent man in Scotland, in 1967 he was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of another gangland figure, William "Babs" Rooney, although Boyle denies that he committed this killing. During his incarceration in the special unit of Barlinnie Prison, he turned to art and wrote an autobiography, A Sense of Freedom (1977), which has since been filmed.
On his release from prison he moved to Edinburgh to continue his artistic career. He designed the largest concrete sculpture in Europe called "Gulliver" for The Craigmillar Festival Society in 1976. The following year he co-wrote the play The Hardman with Tom McGrath, premiered at the Traverse Theatre.
Boyle has also published Pain of Confinement: Prison Diaries (1984), and a novel, Hero of the Underworld (1999). The latter was adapted for a French film, La Rage et le Reve des Condamnes (The Anger and Dreams of the Condemned), and won the best documentary prize at the Fifa Montreal awards in 2002. He also has written a forthcoming novel, A Stolen Smile, which is about the theft of the Mona Lisa and how it ends up hidden on a Scottish housing estate; Disney reportedly bought the film rights.[1]

In 1980, upon his release from prison, he married psychotherapist Sarah Juliet Trevelyan, a daughter of the former British film censor John Trevelyan. They met in the Special Unit of Glasgow's Barlinnie jail, and had two children, Susannah Angela and Kydd...

In the 1994 World Cup Andres Escobar accidentally slid the ball
into his own net. The other team (the USA) went on to win the game and Colombia went out. They only needed a draw as far as I remember.

Reports and rumours after the match the next day said he was a dead man walking, as there where big time gangsters in Columbia that had fortunes bet on the game.

10 days later, as he left some restaurant with his girlfriend three men grabbed him and shot him in the face and chest a dozen times, shouting 'goal' after every shot.
