I like keel hauling myself.

Skinning and filleting or the rack could also be brought back.

And the Iron Maiden

The arc angel. Where the ribs were cut and spread out to look like wings. Then they were hung up in public until they died.

Time to bring back drawn and quartering. 4 horses one tied to each limb and sent in a different direction.

EH. Two in the hat throw em in an unmarked hole, a little lime and move on, forget em, and leave no memory of them behind.

These events make us angry and make us think about the most awful punishments commensurate with the crime. The 8th Amendment prohibiting cruel and unusual punishment is thank God still in play. I will be satisfied if he is locked away for life. What astounds me is these savages running around on bond or probation, free to re-offend. There is no guarantee in the U.S. Constitution to bond or to probation. The 8th Amendment only guarantees if bond is set, it is not an excessive amount. We need to be better at classifying violent offenders and keeping them locked up as long as the law allows

Well written and very well thought out, @HayesGreener.

I believe there are many more factors than most people will see, not the least of which is the county attorney and staff. These people are charged with the prosecution of bad guys, but they also have limited availability of funds, limited thinking jurors, and limited jail space that can be used to house them.

People will say building more beds, or such, that is a possibility. But, how high do you want your taxes to rise?

I don't have the answer to the problems, if I did, Elon Musk wouldn't be the only trillionaire.

When did it stop? "Terry" was/is all about a reasonable and articulable suspicion that a crime was afoot?

YES you are correct. Im still OK with public executions.

Yep no right to bail; but then look at all the states that have NO CASH BAIL and judges that give sentences saying "Im sure he wont do it again" (thats what the judge said when he sentenced the Sovereign Citizen who stabbed me, and gave the guy "Time Served").
