Three strikes law
Following a terrible week for Britain, it is clear that something needs to be done to ensure these riots are never repeated.
I do not believe the riots were cause by poverty. They were not political. The violence in Britain has differed from the kind of politically charged protests seen recently in Greece and Spain in response to hard economic times. In Britain, the rage has appeared blind, apolitical and profoundly selfish. GREED!
I propose a zero tolerance approach to crime . The USA have the right idea. We MUST make punishments harsher. I believe the law should hand down a mandatory and extended period of incarceration to anyone who has been convicted of a serious criminal offense on three or more separate occasions.
Three strikes and you ARE in prison – for life. Clear laws which cannot be misinterpreted.
We urge the government to follow the voice of the people and push this petition into law. 3 strikes and you are OUT!
You can't sign this petition because it is now closed. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
