Rejected petition Change the sentencing laws
More details
Does a human life not mean anything anymore.
I believe the time has come to alter the sentencing laws and for Life to mean Life, or at least a minimum sentence of 40 years. And I also believe that there are millions of us in this country who have the same thought.
However, unless we get the government to discuss this and let them know of our feelings, nothing will be done.
Too many youngsters carry weapons and aren't bothered because they will be free in 6 or 7 years time.
Too many people are being killed and justice isn't being seen to be done.
Please sign the petition , 100,000 signatures are needed to get the government to discuss it. Dont just think about it, make your voice heard and hopefully this will be a better place to live in. Thank you
