Rejected petition Bring Back Hanging for Murderers

More details

It is about time that the punishment befit the crime, if you take a life then you should lose the right to continue your own. Some will argue that life in prison cell is punishment enough....for the family & friends of the victim,it is not.
The bible states,an eye for an eye. If you take a life,then yours should be taken also once it is proven beyond doubt that you are guilty. Murder rates have soared in the last few years and I believe it is because there is no real deterrent, help make our world a safer place - BRING BACK HANGING
