A televised public hanging would leave a more lasting impression.

The cream of Pennsylvania's youth appeared in court today. He tried to blame the officer for shooting first. Officers testified that the defendant had reloaded and shot the game warden after the warden was already down and disarmed.

If the the shooter does not get the death penalty and quick, I will lose faith in US Justice.

I still feel that a televised public hanging would be most appropriate.

I say they should give him a sporting chance. Dump him in a field at night and hunt him down with a pack of dogs that are not trained to stop. Air it as a reality show.

And sew his nose closed, forcing him to mouth breath through a turkey call super-glued to his lips.

Ok, that might be "unusual" punishment, but think of the advertising revenue it could generate this time of year.
