Does anyone else remember that case of that guy in Hong Kong who was caned for vandalism? Liberals here were horrified that someone would be BEATEN for simply vandalizing a few cars.

I thought it was great.

Not sure about caning, but some sort of public humiliation could be a powerful disincentive.

Why did they ever get rid of the Public Stocks?
