As quick as we are to condemn the degenerates, sometimes the so called peers of society are also wrong because free range violence as a punishment is also wrong.

Less you are right about the cane.
When I was at school there were boys who thought they were hard......but cried when they were caned, but some of them didn't....and they relished being seen outside the heads office.....they knew that everyone would know why they were there.......they came out blowing on their hands.....and then were considered hard.
The stuff about the headmaster and the PE teacher...well, that was bullying, and isn't it sad that those people needed to do that to you to make them feel good about their roles.
Bullying back then wasn't recognised very well.
Ian Huntley though is a child murderer. It is the path he chose for his life......so maybe his Karma is to never have any physical peace, maybe he is going to have to sleep with one eye open for the rest of his life....because the other crims have their own form of Justice.
He should never be portrayed as a victim because the true victims of his crime were the unfortunate girls and their families.......and those families will still be paying the price for his actions today.
