They should do something like that in this country, just banning them and even prision isn't good enough.

But theres nothing like humiliation. Smile

Nice. Seems a much more fitting punishment than just a ban. They should start doing things like that in this country for serious crimes. Thumbs Up

Oh no, we couldn't possibly do anything like that, it would be against his human rights.

Confused

After being executed, bodies were left on display in a gibbet as a deterrent to other would-be offenders. Sometimes, they wouldn't wait for the person to actually be dead, letting them starve to death instead :-

Now now, if we become a country full of savages, I sincerley hope that we are wiped out in the next war. People who place no value on human life shouldn't have one.

A bloody good idea by the judge, would be great to see such a scheme becoming widespread.
