No it isnt though, hence why we dont have the death penalty for paedophiles. Try reading chapter 1+2 of Constitutional law, administrative law and human rights by ian loveland. You'll find something very different that just an assumption that implementing whatever the people want is a democracy.

The constitution of this country stops man acting with passion and revenge, because it isnt the correct way to do things in a civilised country. Nevermind though, I've got to get up in the morning for lectures and I dont want to be tired for no productive reason.

The swastika at least has a more clear representation of what you are focusing on, and aslong as you make it clear what your message is meant to be, then its the most fitting in some ways. There isn't really a symbol that can symbolise everyone that died in the holocaust I dont think, so its not quite as black and white as using, for example, a poppy for those who died in the war.
