Rejected petition Bring back the death penalty

More details

After the brutal slaying in London of a soldier, isn't it time to bring back the death penalty? Crimes of hate should not be tolerated, and this should be made absolutely clear. If it is proven without a doubt that the perpetrators are guilty, then they should not have the right to life. The money it costs to incarcerate these evil people would be better spent elsewhere.
