Rejected petition Name & Shame the Rioters

More details

Given that British society in general has condemned the acts of a mindless few who have given the world a view that Britain is a violent place, and given the good work that the police and courts service have been doing in getting these thugs convicted. Shouldn't we, as the majority law abiding British citizens know who has been defaming the British brand. The newspapers have been tracking certain individuals but given the vast numbers, the British public will never know who are these violent thugs who live in our midst. I call on the government to publish the names, photos and ages of all those convicted of violence in relation to the current violent unrest on the Internet. We don't want vigilante behaviours, but we have a right to know who our rotten apples are.
