Rejected petition UK Rioters Need Extreme Measures

More details

At extreme times like this, the government should send in the forces who can use water canons, rubber bullitts, tear gas etc. They should not be subjecting our inadequately armed policeforce to the violence of mobs of unruley youths.
The law abiding citizens of the UK are fed up being intimidated by yobs and something needs to be done and done now.
The response to these riots has been inadequate and we deserve protection from the mobs as individuals and our property. When these individuals choose to step outside of the law, they should be dealt with accordingly.
With the riots in England over the last few nights and the kid glove approach of the UK Goverment, we the undersigned feel the time has come to deal with these yobs once and for all.
