Thread Name: BS: An Argument for the Pillory?
Subject: RE: BS: An Argument for the Pillory?
I disagree with Spaw on the nut-kicking aspect. I think the pilloried individual should be displayed in a special room that comes as close as possible to a goldfish bowl. Nobody can hit, kick, spit on, or pelt the prisoner with over-ripe produce. Public seating around the periphery should be provided for those with a grievance against the person, or just the curious. His crime should be clearly described on a sign above his head. Signs, shouted comments, etc should be allowed. The press should be allowed only access from the gallery, no interviews, etc.

If we all get behind this, guys, this could work!
