So the humiliation of having your crime and arrest displayed openly because of circumstance is worth a cool $million?

I don’t think it’s worth a red cent. If you don’t want to be embarassed then don’t commit a crime.

I think they should continue the process of roping the offenders. A little humiliation for them is not all bad. I t might give them pause to think it over before doing any repeats.

Ok, then put him in the stocks for a few days with a couple baskets of rotten tomatoes on the curb.

Time to bring back the pillory.

He had to walk like that a couple of blocks.

Oh the horrors...

He probably walked farther than that to the trespass
sight.

Leave the tomatoes out of this, I love those things.

Use eggs from a local hatchery that have incubated for weeks but didn’t produce a chic.

What the He.l.l. is wrong with these police?

WTF? Racism is so pathetic. I cant’ stand to read “you alls”
racist comments. This is one very big reason that I choose to live in the North.

The solution is simple. If you can’t stand to read the “you alls “ racists comments, whatever they are. Then don’t read the “you alls racists comments. See how simple that was?

The criminal should be happy he wasn’t dragged down the street by his heels.

Works for me! The number of variations on the pillory is mind boggling.

This jerk deserves prison and lots and lots of public humiliation. If that's unacceptable to him, there's always death. The idea he should be rewarded for any humiliation he suffered is absurd.

I’m thinking of the version I saw at Colonial Williamsburg. But that picture looks like an improvement.
