What the petition asks
There should be a mandatory 20 year sentence for such heinous crimes against the community.
We must all pull together in such unprecedented times. Vile crimes such as THEFT & BURGLARY must be severely punished to prevent the breakdown of normal society. Once LOOTING takes hold, individual's property becomes the next target. A man’s home is his castle and should be allowed to protect family and property at all costs
