Heard this on the morning radio today, being that I'm from Cleveland I found this extremely funny and a great punishment for bullying.
The guy was forced to stand by a sign on a street intersection saying the he's a bully who makes fun of disabled children and his diverse community.

'Bully' Serves His Punishment: Holding Sign In Public

I think public embarrassment was a great punishment (the stocks), won't be long before people here start defending the bully though.

Sucks that he hide his eyes
But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.

There's always a bleeding heart. I think public humiliation like this is a much better form of punishment for his kind of behavior than a restraining order. After this the guy is going to have a hard time showing his face in public.

Agreed, public humiliation actually makes people think about their action. This is why I am also an advocate of community service. Originally Posted by RICH8472

Problem is some people really just don't care what other people think of them. For some people it's a great punishment. Not so much for others though. Also may just make people feel more bitter and resentful instead of trying to teach them how they should act, etc. Dunno. Good idea though

Beats locking them in a small room for several years like they do in the USA. I don't think he's suggesting public humiliation for murderers and the like but rather just general vandals and idiots. When I went to St Lucia we saw a bunch of people cleaning gravestones in the cemetery which was not hugely far from the airport, we asked the cabbie and he said that idiot kids and young adults with small misdemeanors were being made to clean them with toothbrushes for community service. Whether it works or not I don't know but I couldn't help but feel it was a good idea. Originally Posted by Erin

I won't lie, I was a bit taken back to see the article is a grown man. We, or at least I, tend to forget that the term Bully isn't just for cruel children. It's a problem that transcends generations.
On topic, as much as I'm for the punishment, that man looks nothing more than bored, just upset he got punished instead of learning from it. I hope of course I'm wrong about that and something good comes out of this in the end.
There you go, Scrapbot. Is my Signature small enough now? Will you finally shut up, you automated pretentious &##(@)!?

It is quicker and easier than a few months in prison, prison is not much of a deterrent anyway for petty crimes, for some doing a little time is a badge of honour. Originally Posted by Wildtree

Nah you can. I'm British, one of my purposes in life is to laugh at the French and remind the Germans of the war and I'll let this one slide. This guy was a dick, those people were just Jewish and there's a bit of a difference. I'm sure there are Jewish dicks too but I assume they'll be punished equally. Originally Posted by Noctim

I honestly do not know how to feel about authorities using bullying to punish for bullying. On one hand, he fucking deserved that. On the other, that's uncomfortably ironic.

Also, bear in mind that sentences that involve just plain punishment, rather than educational punishments or whatever, are kind of... Like, in the case of a miscarriage of justice, you've tarnished somebody's reputation forever and it's really difficult to get that back. I agree that putting someone in jail is also taking their time away from them and that's more precious than their reputation but then I don't think that throwing everyone in jail is right either. I dunno, criminal justice and rehabilitation is really difficult. I just think you have to be careful with doing things that only revolve around punishing someone.
