I think they might be on to something.

I think they might be on to something. They do their executions in public and even allow the victims relatives to participate. While this might seem cruel and maybe an unusual punishment for us United States citizens, I wonder if this was done in the US, how much crime would actually be cut down. Using public shame might work because we all are 95% consumed with how we are perceived by others. Just a thought though.

Didn't America use to have public executions? I remember reading articles about mob rule by guys in white Scottish Freemason garb hanging people from certain groups, and "serving" justice?

None of that helps against crime. It's shown that punishment in no form whatsoever has any detriment on crime. In fact you could drop the death sentence and there'd be no rise in crime.
Education and equal opportunity are things that help most against crime.
But hey I was just waiting for the Republicans to endorse the Muslim way... I knew religious fanatics will find themselves on common Holly ground

By that logic.
If you eliminate guns you'd eliminate the deaths they would have caused....
You might wanna think that line of reasoning through
Criminal is not a disease but a symptom of a disease ridden society. You won't cure the disease by fighting the symptoms...

Well, actually... I'm applying the logic of why guns are not the problem to both arguments while you try to flip flop...
As a swiss citizen I can guarantee you guns are not the problem, and punishment is no viable deterrent for crime.
But you can keep thinking that and blame the Marxists see how that resolves the problems your nation faces...
