Thieving duo display signs of shame outside court | The Columbu...

A judge in Coshocton (I think Hostetler) has been doing this for years. It's a great idea for minor crimes as hopefully the embarrassment will deter the criminal from being a repeat offender.

Can we get Bernie Madeoff and some Wall Street bankers to hold up some signs of shame?

I'm sure. If that was the case I think they would have fought it a little harder.

So, they decided to use them anyway, Alisha? Nice upstanding people. Are you related to them?

The story has seven sentences. How could you not read "they swiped a gift card that the girl set on a shelf while a Walmart employee helped her"?

The interesting thing, this type of public humiliation was a common in the MIDEVIL TIMES! How times have changed, but stayed the same.

Bring back the stockade! and can throw rotten tomatoes at the crooks

I applaud the prosecutor, but they didn't really seem that ashamed. A certain type just has no clue of social correctness. They could have been put to work raking leaves from the streets.

I read up on this..Everyone is writing the same stupid thing...Read the interviews that the women gave. Lets just start giving everyone signs for adultery, d.u.i.s, ect..It would never stop. Everyone would be out on the street holding a sign.
