Are You Fed Up With The Pathetic Murder Sentences?

On 10th March 2003 my son Andrew died after being atacked by a gang of drunken
yobs in the Liverpool city centre. He was killed fot just bumping into someone
in the street. So far no one has ever been convicted.
I have set up a group with parents and families of other homicide victims.
Our aim is to try and change the laws in this country, that seem to take the
word 'justice' out of the justice system, allowing the perpetrator rights that
the real victims do not seem to have. We feel that if a person takes the life
of another human being, they should be sentenced to spend the rest of their
natural life in jail, rather than being released after a few years only to
reoffend again.
We believe the current system is not working and are therefore arguing for
change in order to make a zero tolerance sentence become a real deterrent.
There are so many other organisations around the country aiming for the same
thing, (guncrime, knifecrime etc.), but I feel that the only way to make a real
impact is to all come out on the same day at the same time in our respective
home towns, therefore, on 28th March 2009, I am organising another march, and
this time I am hoping that the whole country will support us by organising
protests in each town across the Nation.
So far we have marches organised in London, Liverpool, Bournemouth, Manchester , Bolton, Chester, Leeds, Glasgow, Ipswich and Newcastle.
We need a lot mre people to organise one in all the main cities in the UK
Please look on the page 'NATIONAL FIGHT FOR JUSTICE' on Facebook for details
