I’ve stated my views many times on FR.

It’s only because of leftist idiocy that the death penalty is not used properly.

Once after a several month stint (once a week) on grand jury duty, the county DA who was retiring soon and I had a private conversation. We jurors learned a lot and one of the things we learned is that those who commit most of the crimes in our rural county are well known to the authorities, and commit crimes over and over and over and over again. It’s basically a career choice.

So I told the DA - seems as though the only way to change this is public canings, like in Singapore.

He agreed, and said that sort of punishment was indeed needed. But that the public would never go for it.

I think the public will start going for it. There isn’t enough money to incarcerate everyone, public pain and public shame is not only a huge money saver, but it will work! And is actually much more merciful to criminals as they will learn much faster to changer their ways and not spend years rotting in jail cells.

A few generations ago rapists, murderers, child molesters and kidnappers were usually executed, and not after 20 years of appeals, either.

Thanks to the ACLU and other bleeding heart leftist organizations, now such criminals are free to torture the public over and over again.

I’m surprise you think that’s a good thing.
