Ok, maybe wait until he's found guilty if he is, but then he should be named and shamed for such a serious offence and what he may have been setting out to do I see he is also one that has "converted to Islam" so that is also a worry | ![](/images/avatars/1701.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

No comments allowed allowed on the article of course. And a conspicuous absence of comment on this post by the drooling 22. No surprise there then. He’d rather call somebody a cu nt for declining to kneel and having no qualms about saying so, but cries like a baby when called a retard himself. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Because he is 14 years old. We don't name and shame children. It's what civilised countries do. | ![](/images/avatars/10359.gif) |

The vile pair that murdered young Jamie Bulger benefited from that ...venables is still an extremely dangerous individual and Thompson is still a despicable person... They both carried on doing horrendous acts whilst in custody, care and (rehabilitation) Some people are just intrinsically flawed and are a burden on society..this young man chose the religion of peace ..I honestly can't understand how he got to such a terrible situation in just a few months of following his new faith...that in itself is very disturbing. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Or what about the IRA bomb that wrecked the shop in East Street opposite Debenhams? Going shopping in town in the late 1970s was a scary business. I think the bombmaker was discovered in Albion Towers and went to prison for a long time. I've also read that a bomb was planted under an oil tanker at Redbridge but either failed to go off or was defused (or maybe it did go off and nobody noticed). There was a thread about it on the Southampton Memories Facebook site a few years ago. The IRA bombing campaign did have one good side effect for kids at my school though. Every so often the school would receive a phone call saying a bomb had been left somewhere in one of the classrooms, so we all had to traipse out on to the playing field for half an hour or so while the school was searched, thereby missing some dreary lesson or other. I can't remember if the hoaxer was ever discovered but I think the school just got fed up in the end and ignored them. I bet those bloody lazy teachers like Virginia-Dentista would use it as an excuse to close down the school for a couple of months nowadays. | ![](/images/avatars/13041.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
