Knife/any murders. is it time for capital punishment for those found guilty

[Frosties]

Whatever happened to the "Mandatory 5 year sentence" for those found carrying a knife?We need more "snatch" teams to do random stop and searches and bollox to the PC lefties who scream harrassment.
Friend of mine was in London visiting his sister. He popped out to the local shops and was stabbed from behind in the liver, no reason, no warning. He was in intensive care for 3 weeks but fortunately pulled through, though he will never be 100%. Police suggested it may have been a gang "initiation" to prove how big and manly they are to stab someone in the back and run away.
How about compulsory conscription to the services to have it beasted out of them, learn respect and hopefully come out educated with a trade and some use to society.

Now this is a good option. I'd personally assign 2 to every foot patrol - stick him right up the front to find those IED's. If he finds one then then call up the next. If they died they'd have done something of use by saving our boys.
