Rejected petition Change the current laws on knife crime
Rejected on
To deter further knife crime activists, we want a change to the current sentencing.
Make it 20 years sentencing for possession of a knife, ( because the intention of harm is there), 25 years for stabbing without killing and 35 years for stabbing and killing someone
We say " but what about their human rights " but what about the human rights of those who have lost their rights to life.
