Actually I have always though bringing back the stocks in small towns would be a good idea, any scroat making a menace of himself in the town ( burglar, drug dealer, vandal etc) would be locked in them.....put a baseball next to it and let anyone go down there and knock shit out of them.
If they are still alive after 2 weeks, then they are set free.
You know me, all moderation ! Lol lol lol
