The worst outcome for this man would be to have to been ignored completely.

But people will never learn, they will continue to whip up hysteria, and the tabloid press will continue to lap it up. Do you think that the gutter rag journalists are "outraged" by this man's actions? I highly doubt it, it's delicious fodder for the slobbering hounds that want a little child murder gossip to go with their morning coffee.

The Bulger case has been an undignified media circus for well over a decade. A tabloid horror story, by now verging on national folklore. Are we really surprised that things like this happen? The real horror of what happened to that boy was lost in a cloud of pop culture gore years ago. Along with poor Maddie, and countless others. You can blame the papers and the crass public who adore tragedy for the reality disconnect that affects these "trolls". Until we sort out THAT cesspool, there will be a never ending parade and incidents like this. There are a million other trolls where this guy came from.

it,s certainly NOT folklore for the people involved.
