on a somewhat related note, would anyone else be in favor of bringing back mid-evil era style punishment?
public hangings, public be-headings, shackles, etc
imo, we have become desensitizes not only to violence but also to the concept of the punishment assigned to that violence
i think if we gathered in our communities once or twice a month to witness executions, and thereby be confronted with the grisly reality of death, violent crime would decrease
