I kid you not, I heard a (true) story about a punishment once doled out in China.

The guy got into a fight with his (ex) girlfriend and ended up pouring acid on her face...

The Chinese courts sentenced the guy to not one, but 5 shots. They shot him once in each limb (not fatal but hurt like hell, especially with a dum dum 9mm), taking about 15 minutes between shots. After each shot they made the guy stand back up at the end of the firing range and take his like a man.

The 5th shot was right in the back of the head.

Of course its all considered human rights violations, but since when has that stopped anyone?

Sometimes I do like the way the Chinese government meats out punishment on criminals :)
