Rejected petition All convicted rioters to face 12 months minimum military service

More details

All persons convicted of participating in the recent riots across the country should not be sent to prison, as this will not solve any of the problems or issues of why they were looting and rioting. Instead all should be made to complete a set time of military service, in order to give something back to their country and to hopefully teach some discipline and principles to those who are convicted.
