Do you think they should bring back public hangings or any other form of the death penalty for publi

Yes, yes! I am all for that. For pedophiles, rapists and even maggots like Bernord Madoff, "impaling" is the way to go. That method of "punishment" was quite common in Romania (Wallachia) during the rule of a prince named Vlad Tepes in the 1400s. It was a quite effective deterrent in my opinion. Get a few politicians on a "pole" downtown too and maybe they'll stop being such lying scumbags.

One step forward ,two steps back.

Unless you can prove beyond a reasonable doubt.

Embarrassment ,and exposure to the public scrutiny and ridicule without physical harm,to either the public official or to the public is prefered

The use of pychological humility imposed on the consciousness of public officials for reflection.upon what they have done wrong.

A reminder if you will,that they only work for the public good.

A reminder that the only power they have is the power the public or should I say the republic says they have ,and can be revocked for cause as determined by a jury or vote of the people.rather than a pure Democracy which never worked in an Imperfect society .

Yes, yes and yes. On board with Mr. Happy. Charge people like a MMA or UFC event and we can begin paying the national debt to boot.
