Then you have this kind of Lefty fun and games:
Four anti-ICE activists were arrested after allegedly planting homemade tire deflation devices around vehicles belonging to federal law enforcement agents conducting immigration enforcement operations in the Van Nuys neighborhood of Los Angeles.
The question, then, is what kind of punishment should be meted out to the little scamps who perpetrated this mischief?
Obviously, this is overkill (so to speak):
…because the tire-spikes are not deadly things, per se.
And clearly, fines and similar wrist-slaps are not adequate punishment either; but imprisonment seems a little harsh — not to me, but to the average citizen, maybe. So perhaps a little public punishment might be called for:
Lots of owie, but nothing long-lasting — pour encourager les autres, if you’ll excuse my French.
Just sayin’.
Here’s a possible idea. Arrest them and then as they get transported, they ” Inadvertently ” get mixed in with the day’s catch of deportees. They then get separately hustled off to a larger more remote Deportation Center. They are then completely cut off from any communication and rapidly transported to a detention center close to the Border. Any attempt by them to complain or explain that they are citizens is met with disbelief and ignored because off course any form of ID’s were removed at the initial intake. They are finally taken to remote Airbase multiple states away from their original arrest point and then just before then are about to be loaded on a transport plane with a group of other deportees preferably chained to group of tattooed Gang Bangers, they are pulled from the line and taken to the front gate of the base and set free, still with no ID’s and no Money.
That’s very creative and quite intriguing. Just remember that whatever we do to them, they can do to us when in the future the reins of power change ownership.
we need to bring back the public pillory. The hardness of the rotted produce available for hurling at the miscreants can vary with the seriousness of the crime. Randomly take them out of the pillory, let them stretch it out then put them back in. This way they think they are getting released and their torment will end when in reality they’re back in the shit.
I’m strongly in favor of this.
“Goin’ medieval on their ass”… yes, I like it.
I like the public pillory with a modern twist: carnival dunk tanks filled with raw sewage.
A standard ass beatings will suffice, you know, with multiple instances of stitches and fractured bones.
They pay for their repair out of their own pockets.
Filmed and publicized of course.
What ever happened to exile?
Cambodia, Pitcairn’s Island, Albania – they all could use energetic young immigrants.

In Murphy’s World, I think something quite painful, maybe moderately bloody, that would leave permanent scarring, should be in order. Flogging would seem to fit the bill.
From what I’ve read, flogging was often eventually fatal. Before antibiotics, open wounds would get infected. The resulting infection could lead to death.
So? Somehow, I don’t think I really care. If the morons want to play the game, they take their chances, don’t they?
That was the purpose of applying salt to the wounds in the Royal Navy.
Why should pushing out of the helicopter be automatically fatal? Blindfold the offenders and fly around a bit, then push them out when they are close to the ground which can be quite cushioned. The surprise alone should help them see the error of their ways.
Public caning.
Sometimes Asia does know best.
As the Communist-wing states proceed farther and farther from societal norms, and continue with the trend of non-prosecution for property crimes, they’re going to find that even with the support of their dazzling urbanite dwellers, they’re going to hit a hard stop.
Once the police start refusing to even show up for property crimes (they did this in Minneapolis just before we permanently left the Soviet Socialist State of MN) they’re going to see the honest people who actually have to work for a living (rather than the criminal/government parasite classes) start to silently rebel. In my guesswork, this will initially take the form of rather violent beatings of anyone caught in the act of a crime, where the perpetrators are are held down and subjected to things like broken elbows and knees, or hamstringing at the wrists and ankles, and then the broken bleeding carcasses dumped in the middle of a street for the police to finally do something with them.
As the crime-ridden inner cities get even worse, and the police stop responding to even assault crimes the citizens will naturally respond further, with muggers, rapists, carjackers, stick-up artists, etc., simply become yet another murder statistic. Vigilantism is an inevitable response to lack of law enforcement, and the criminal classes (government and private) will start to realize that even minor offenses now automatically carry the death penalty. The “three Ess’s” (well, it’s hard to find a place to shovel in the inner cities) will be the punishment for those kinds of crimes.
Note that I am NOT, repeat, NOT in favor of this, which is why we left the Heart of the Hive™ and moved to a quite peaceful TinyTown™ here in Wyoming. I’m noting this as a warning and forecast.
I’d infinitely prefer to see a society based on something like Heinlein’s “Starship Troopers”, where public floggings were the norm for “minor” criminal offenses. For non-adults corporal punishment in schools should be extremely rare, painful, and swift. Bring back flogging? Heck, yeah. But right now I don’t trust ANY government officer far enough to let them enforce our current legal system with physical punishments, since the UniParty is so massively corrupt.
How about tying a rope or handle to those homemade spike strips and flog them with their own creation?
