Reinstate capital punishment for sound minded murders of children and vulnerable
Rejected

What the petition asks
Global warming, population and unfair justice need contributory solutions. Imposing the death sentence to those of sound mind who act on the intent to maliciously kill a child and/or vulnerable adult, beyond all reasonable doubt would bring a fair carriage of justice and contribute to a safer world.
Because if the Government doesn’t, the incomprehensible crime will continue, incarcerated vigilantes will continue to inflict further punishment to these types of offenders as a result of common unsatisfactory justice. This imposes further punishment on the lesser offender who inflicts his/her own carriage of justice. In turn, the Taxpayers and Government make increased contributions to the imprisonment of all offenders involved for an even longer duration.
