Rejected petition Convicted London rioters should be automatically drafted into the army.

More details

Any persons convicted of criminal acts during the current London riots should be automatically drafted into the army so that they can learn some discipline and contribute to their society.

Rather than letting these youths run around destroying and looting property, while on benefits, give them a chance to learn a trade and earn money and respect for themselves.
