Liverpool Gangster-Turned-TikTok Star Sam Walker Explodes Over James Bulger Rumor — Furious Rant Targets Trolls Exploiting a City’s Pain
Sam Walker, once one of Liverpool’s most notorious criminals with over 130 convictions, and now a TikTok star with 400,000 followers, has sparked outrage online after unleashing a furious rant in a viral video.
In the clip, Walker can be seen screaming into the camera, blasting online trolls for spreading a cruel and baseless rumor that he was somehow connected to one of Britain’s most harrowing crimes — the 1993 murder of two-year-old James Bulger.
“Youse accusing me of James Bulger? I’ll target every troll — Scousers still hurt!” he shouted, his voice shaking with rage.
A Viral Outburst, A Wound That Never Heals
There is no evidence whatsoever linking Walker to the Bulger case. Yet the mere suggestion is enough to tear open old scars.
The killing of James Bulger — abducted and murdered by two ten-year-old boys — remains one of the darkest chapters in modern British history.
For Liverpool, the city still haunted by the tragedy, seeing the boy’s name dragged into cheap online gossip is not just insensitive, it is cruel beyond measure.
From Street Criminal to TikTok Phenomenon
Walker is no stranger to controversy. He has flaunted Lamborghinis, boasted about dodging the law, and even filmed himself thumbing his nose at authority. But this time, he insists, the line has been crossed.
“This is not banter — this is sick. Don’t ever play with Liverpool’s pain,” he warned in the video.
Reactions have been split. Some believe Walker is merely capitalizing on the scandal for more views, but others say the rumor is so vile that his outrage is justified.
A Courtroom in Dublin, Then an Explosion Online
The timing only added to the spectacle: Walker’s furious outburst came just after he walked out of a Dublin courtroom. From convicted gangster to online antihero, he’s become what the British tabloids call “dangerous but unmissable.”
But one chilling truth lingers: in the age of social media, how far will trolls go for attention — and is there any limit to the cruelty they inflict?
