Petition Make the life sentence mean "LIFE"

More details

In the recent riots 5 people lost their lives, one was shot whilst in a vehicle, three were ran over whilst defending property, and the final was a 68-year old man who simply tried to put out a fire. Those are just the most recent actions.

The criminals who comitted these acts, "if" caught will have the possibility of being freed after 15 years for "good behaviour".

Numerous people lose their lives, and their attackers punishment is simply to lose a few years before being allowed to rebuild their lives from the start.

This is completely wrong and I firmly believe that if a "person" is found guilty of murder they should see out their days in a prison cell.
