depends on the nature of the crime... I can't help resist thinking about harsh public execution being warranted for certain types of serious crimes especially those that affect the society at large and if the perpetrator was a repeat offender - e.g. I have no sympathy for rapists, and child molesters.
Ditto.
Public executions have phenomenal psychological impact on us - of course, they're unpleasant but they make an example out of a transgressor. Although completely socially unfamiliar for us today, I think they might do some good tbh.
I consider it a form of terrorism.
How?
