Okay fine, I'll put in a caveat that Oakland is different. Raider fans in particular are a quarrelsome lot.

Wow, the crime rate in Richmond is significantly higher than the national average. Why would there be an unchaperoned dance in a place like that?

It's sick, but if *you* were the only one to stand up against a mob of 5 - 10+ (I'm just giving numbers here, I didn't notice it give any specific numbers to go by), I'm sure you'd be hesitant to act.[/QUOTE]
I know I really do sound like hurr durr internet tough guy but my glock has 17 rounds and I'm a good shot.

My cell phone has 911 on it and I imagine it would give us the same result but with much less bloodshed and I don't even need to be a tough guy! W00t!

I was referring to if a crowd of 10+ gave me trouble for speaking up or calling 911 and why that's not that terrifying. (It's still fucking terrifying)

I wouldn't want to get near that crowd in the first place for obvious reasons, but I'd call 911 anyway if I even thought something like that was going down.
Aim for the scrotum. It's what this good fellow would do.
I seriously think we should bring back public flogging. In the case of these guys, they should be castrated WITHOUT anesthesia in full view of the public. It worked for centuries but then we got all sensitive.
Nope. We shouldn't do any of that. It's barbaric and horrible.

Would I call 911?? you bet. When I witness horrible accident on the road, I usually call 911 unless the police is already there. Would I call in this situation? more than likely for several reasons.
1. It occur in a highschool
2. public sex act (more than likely involve minors)
3. multiple people attacking a single person.
I have call in before (back in my highschool with hazing) I would do it today.

That's kinda the point. The punishment should fit the crime.

Hi, you must be new here...
Nah, seriously though... It might have something to do with the fact that after murder and kiddy-fiddling, rape is probably the most prominent serious crime that riles people up. And when people are riled up, old-school methods of punishment are suggested, in accordance with "eye for an eye" and wanting to exact revenge.
It's too early in the morning to think of creative punishment methods for rapists. I'll get back to you on that. Perhaps a codpiece with razorblades inside...
Okay fine, I was being bigoted. But that bigotry comes from teaching at San Diego State University, which receives tons of students from the Bay Area. Many of said students (and their parents) are the hippies who think they are... so forward thinking and tolerant of different social norms in regard to crime.

Heh.
You've struck pretty close to the reason I thought up that handle.
Sex offenders (including rapists) have the highest recidivism rate among released prisoners. In other words, they are the most likely to commit the very same crimes again, even after they've done hard time. Why should we not remove the instruments they used to commit rape? It should also be viewed by a festive public audience. Sometimes old school methods are the best.
Maybe we could put that on pay-per-view and tax the proceeds. Think about the thousands of people who flocked to public hangings in Victorian England. To use a modern example, consider the millions who spend $10 apiece to see films like Hostel and the Saw series. Passion of the Christ was basically a snuff film as well, and look at the profits. If we did that, our criminal justice system would soon pay for itself. So in one stroke we accomplish two things: rapists get what they deserve in the form of a deliciously ironic punishment, and we get out of the recession. Yes, yes, I know I'm a financial guru.
Man, we need a pair of these guys in every major US city.

yay summary execution!
IronBrig I am thankful every day that people like you have absolutely no power or authority
There should be an emote for "I'm just fucking around."
To tell the truth, I was very nearly a police officer and passed everything including the psychological evaluation. The only reason I wasn't hired was because the economy sucked at the time and 500 people applied for a mere four positions. I actually made it to the final application pool.
I've toured a number of prisons throughout California while earning a degree in criminal justice. Those facilities ranged from minimum security womens' prisons to San Quentin. A lot of the inmates were normal folks who committed their crimes in the heat of passion or in desperation. Violent sex offenders, on the other hand, are real pieces of work. There is little to be done for them. Many are repeat offenders who actually premeditate their crimes. Furthermore, the vocational/educational programs that prisons offer are least likely to affect them. They are very likely to rape and molest again upon release. While sex offenders are less likely to be rearrested for any offense, they are much more likely to be rearrested for a sex crime. Most of those committed said crime within one year after release.

Those rapists at that dance behaved like the worst form of degenerates. Therefore, they should be punished in such a cruelly savage manner that other potential rapists would think twice before raping someone.

Singapore bases it's whole punishment system on this sentiment (public humiliation and flogging) and their crime rate is the lowest in the world.

Tell that to victims of violent crimes. In my eyes, when someone commits a violent crime that's premeditated or inconceivably horrible, such as this gang-rape, they revoke their rights to being treated humanely.

Small countries tend to be easier to govern, though. Just check out Switzerland.
