That’s what they do around here when people are caught stealing from stores. I remember the first time I saw one when I was still in HS some 9 years ago. There was a lady who’d tried steal from Goody’s. They wouldn’t let her just sit or stand, though. She had to march in front of the stores along that strip with the sign. I was with a group of my friends, and as I mentioned, we were in high school. So, you know that meant much heckling for her.

Perfect! I love this ! This makes me giggle…… a lot.They both got exactly what they deserve! I agree with the others who think this sort of public shaming may serve better than placing some people in jails that are already overcrowded.

I agree, what a couple of losers. When they ripped off a nine year old girl they lost any rights they may have had. I hope they get robbed while standing there like the POS’s they are.

People who are so concerned about making sure criminals have more rights and rewards than the victims ought to have their own shame forced on them. Maybe it would help them see what idiots they are.

I think this was great. I think there should be more creative punishments dolled out for these types of crimes. They should of made the one bitch stand up though and the other take her hood off, but I’m laughing pretty good right now. Hee hee

If that were the case, no punishment (at least for this crime) would work. At least this way I have a story with a funny picture. Or, maybe it would be a nice deterrent for other tweekers out there who would rather not be sitting outside of a courthouse holding a sign.

You’re absolutely right on the first count. If they stole due to a drug habit, no punishment will reform them.

But punishment has to be pretty fuckin’ severe to act as a deterrent, especially in regard to a class of individual that commits crime under the pretense that they won’t get caught and is driven by a compelling addiction.

So, yeah – at least we have a funny picture.

I think publicly shaming someone, no matter what the crime, is a hell of a better deterrent than jail. Having every single person that walks by you know exactly what kind of a scum bag you are would probably make someone think 2 or 3 times before doing something again. Most people who are selfish enough to do crimes like this think much more highly of themselves than of their victims. Public shaming is the best punishment.

If nothing else, I hate their excuse. How do they know the people they still from aren’t having their own rough times. Oh wait, they don’t and they don’t care either. Shame em all!

I bet if they knew they would have had to do that punishment for that crime-they would not have stolen those gifts cards. Yes this was the right punishment. good job D.A. Livengood

If they’re drug addicts, shame will have no real effect on them. Especially if they’re tweekers.

True. Nothing makes you lose your shame faster than crack or meth.
