Bring back the stocks??

[Ruralman]

Maybe this should be a poll?
This follows on from the thread about fencing off the bridges to stop dum shits chucking stuff at vehicles and the sentence one of them got yesterday.
I reckon its time we got a bit less PC with some of these sentences - if we brought back the stocks and for the first few days of of their sentence these young delinquents were put in them, a ready supply of non lethal projectiles was provided to throw at them and a sign beside explained what they had done and why they were there.
Surely this sort of public humiliation would take away all the elements of "cool" that these deadbeats crave - much better incentive to not do something like that again than home detention or community service or even a short jail term.
I think it would have the desired effect or is that just my red neck showing?

The reason for this post on a bike site is that if others start doing the same then amoungst this group they'll start a points system based on the difficulty of hitting the target - trucks get a low score - guess what gets the highest score

Do you mean "The reason for this post being in the bike section"??
If you mean being in the bike section, then fair enough.

If you mean posting something other than bikes on a bike site, then don't worry. This is a public forum, and you have the right to post whatever you want on here. If this is what you meant, then the only suggestion I'd have made is to put it in the "Rave On" section.

Anyway... I wouldn't have any problem pointing and laughing at felluh's in da stock ey, that's where they belong... (and no, they shouldn't be allowed to wear their hoodies and skew caps!, give 'em sunscreen lotion instead)

Badger? fox? I dunno............

I used to have a nice locking set in my old flat, but I gave them away when I moved.

They aren't difficult to make.

[Dooly]

Good idea, bring stocks back, but make the objects lethal on the 2nd or third day.

[jim.cox]

Hear, hear

Cheaper than locking them up, more effective, more satisfying public humiliation

and not just for young delinquents

I'd use them for the dickhead driver of a remuera tractor so busy chatting on his cellphone that he ran me off the road the other day.

Yes, agree.
A few days and nights in the town stocks would be a wonderful thing for some of our society.
I would like to nominate a few MP's for a trial basis...:yes:

[McJim]

I still say drop them all on Auckland island and leave them there to fend for themselves.

Apart from transportation costs - no burden on the tax payer and law abiding people.:done:

Okay - ManDownUnder has a better suggestion than me - at least I'm big enough to admit when I'm wrong.

[ManDownUnder]

Heads and hands in the stocks, trousers round their ankles, put 'em in a darkened room on K' Rd.

TIME TO MEET BUBBA!

[kensuem]

Ruralman for Prime Minister!!!!!!

[Ruralman]

do you think it would make a difference to these delinquents doing it again?? compared to current penalties(?).
I think public ridicule would be more effective than the PC crap ruling at the moment. We might have to provide masks for the people throwing the stuff at them, so they can't intimidate old ladies and others who might be too scared they would remember them and get even later.

Yup - I am 100% certain that public disdain would work.

It's peer pressure in reverse... but first to come and visit would need to be those that would shame them most. Make sure family and any Kaumatua or Ministers they've have involvement with come along too.

Shame is a wonderful thing, most effective when well deserved, and served in a big pile from someone you respect

[Harry33]

Just chop the f@$kers hands off. Probably cut down on the graffiti to.:yes:

Nice idea Mohammed - but do we really want to adopt Sharia Law in NZ?

[Shaun]

Fully agree! also, I would like to see the Death penalty back! I think, give a convicted Killer/ Rapists/ Granny bashers 3 years to prove there not guilty , after that, Kill the scum DEAD DEAD DEAD

Fuck paying 100k plus year to keep this kind of trash around, they obviously have no morals no respect for other humans, so why should we let them share our buitifull life

I'm not sure who's the hells Mohammed is but one thing I do know is that our current laws,courts don't seem to be working. That low life might be out in time for Christmas.... seems fair doesn't it.

It makes sense doesn't it - but can you imagine any politician being brave enough to champion an idea like this?? They've all been imasculated by the feminazi's
Do any female KB's agree with the idea?

Sorry bud - was referring to your comment about cutting off hands - that's what Ozzy 'dust' bin liner and his cronies (the Alchy eaters) are killing innocents for the right to do.

i.e. Mohammed - Islamic Prophet
Sharia Law - strict Islamic Law as practiced in Iran (where you get your hands cut off for being a thief and you get killed for mentioning any religion other than Islam - this is why we don't call the current brand of terrorists freedom fighters coz they're fighting for the right to oppress)

[scracha]

I think juve centres are a waste of time, certainly for repeat offenders. If they do big boy's crimes, then put them in the big hoose with the other big boys.

The threat of a good shag up the arse might deter some of them!

Not in Ponsonby it wouldn't... you'd likely see the crime rate go up...

What About Bringing In An Eye For An Eye Law , So In This Situation The Guy Who Threw The Concrete Off The Bridge Can Be Stabbed To Death By The Victims Family , Sound Harsh Maybe But If It Was My Son Who Died Id Gladly Stab That Little Rock Throwing Chimp To Death.
