What he SHOULD have done was not acted like a douchebag in the first place.
Maybe accepting the public humiliation was his way of owning up. (somehow I'm thinking....NOT...but one can always hope)

Sounds like he took the easy way out........Youth soccer parade? It's not like the whole town is going to show up for something like that.

I like it. I think public humiliation is WAY more of a deterrent than anything. Hell, these days a lot of kids... fuck and adults... think it's cool to get into trouble. Fines, incarceration, etc... no big deal. Sitting in front of the whole town looking like a total fucktard... The guy's right, he won't be burning any more flags anytime soon.

That's what I'm talking about.
You'd still have your chance in court. But (if convicted) rather than tying up public funds keeping people in prison for months or years, you spend a few hours for one or more days in the stocks where everyone can see you and a banner naming your crime.
The true sociopaths are still going to be convinced they were justified in whatever they did, but for casual offender, it's going to be more than enough embarrassment and inconvenience to motivate them to avoid such things in the future.
