What the petition asks
Something needs to be done for the amount of murders going on in this country. A life in prison for taking a life didn’t last long. An easier option is the death penalty it will be cheaper on tax payers. An example needs to be made
Gun and knife crime is getting way beyond out of control and something needs to be done. Not a week goes by we don’t hear about someone who has been stabbed or shot and severely injured or even killed. Jail doesn’t seem to work so we need the law changing on the death penalty for murder.
