perfect example fer the need tuh re-institute publik floggings... fer the hoodlum, and his parents...
I'd prefer Singapore-style caning for the punks, myself, for the little stuff. No criminal record, no probation or community service. Five or ten whacks, and their debt to society is paid. Then they would be free to ponder if they want that doubled, if they get in trouble again.
It sounds barbaric, but it's more humane than having to shoot them when they get into even worse trouble.
