Corporal Punishment for Taggers?

A story from the Las Vegas Sun for November 3 quotes the mayor of Las Vegas as saying that people convicted of being taggers—graffiti artists—might have their thumbs cut off as an appropriate punishment. He’s also quoted advocating a return to corporal punishment.

If the Republicans manage to keep running our national sideshow, this man may rise through the ranks to maybe become head of the Department of Justice.

I remember, when I was growing up, how this was actually quite a nice country, all things considered.

I wouldn’t say that anymore. It’s quite a spectacle, but as far as being a nice country, no.
