Rejected petition Tougher sentences for criminal behaviour

More details

This country has to hand out tougher sentences in order to prevent people committing crimes. The way that the rioters have behaved over the last few days has absolutely sickened the whole of England, and the fact that 5 people have died because of these mindless thugs is unforgivable. They need to be caught and given a life sentence, and for it to mean life.
