I prefer the gallows, using short drops. I want it to be public.
Yeah, I’m not really advocating for an authoritarian control of thought (arguably similar to what we have now). Intellectual freedom is important. However, the free market of ideas does not exempt society from choosing toxic ideas. And society needs to take responsibility for allowing those ideas to flourish.
I feel like we really do need to bring back public executions.
And public flogging.
Or even stockades. Public humiliation has its purpose.
Is that when you dunk the person in the lake? That’s a good one.
Flogging is whipping
We need a scale of public humiliation, depending on the offense, but I’m opposed to physical torture. I’m all for stockades in the town square and dunking in the lake, though.
Flogging means whipping. Public flogging seems like a good punishment for underclass thugs who are not affected by incarceration. In the underclass having served in a maximum security prison is often a source of pride.
No….no violence. Let’s not sink to the level of the thugs.
In Russia and Ukraine vigilantes tape criminals (and sometimes ethnic minorities) to poles.

I want the punishment to fit the crime.
I am sure there was no arrest. He got away with it. If he was tried a black jury would have acquited him.
The high rate of black incarceration is due to the high black crime rate. The high rate of black poverty is due to the low rate of blacks with enough intelligence to earn a good income.
Study shows drastic racial disparities in Allegheny County’s criminal justice system
A major study released by the Allegheny County executive and the University of Pittsburgh’s Institute of Politics shows a series of stark racial...www.post-gazette.com
The linked article describes the findings of a study on the relative treatment of Blacks in the local criminal justice system (Allegheny County Pennsylvania). Reviewing the statistics mentioned, I have no doubt that they are accurate. But underlying the article is a presumption that is provably false, to wit, that Blacks' and "whites'" behavior is the same. If you tell me that a Black person is five times more likely to be charged with a crime (which this article does), then you need to show me that the relevant behavior was equal or comparable. Otherwise the statistic is meaningless.
How can one be oblivious to the data published by the FBI every year, illustrating that Black and "white" criminal behavior is NOT the same. Blacks are much more likely to be involved in the most serious crimes, and this has been true for as long as the FBI has been keeping these statistics. The reason - a subject that is much debated - is simply the 70% curse: 70% of Blacks are born into a household with no father.
Implicitly and explicitly, the authors of this study, as well as the person writing the story, are accusing local law enforcement of racism. And not just harmless racism like giving Blacks a nasty look - serious racism that can ruin a person's life. Now THAT is a slander worth suing over.
For those who can read numbers, here are some supporting numbers:
