| I dont think being hit qualifies as Cruel or Unusual, so yes, it is perfectly appropriate as a civil punishment in lieu of crap like Community Service. The only Civil right dealing with punishment is that which protect a citizen from something that is cruel or unusual, not something that hurts, and I fail to see how being hit is either cruel or unusual. With this in mind, it is absolutely legal for the law of the land to comply with this practice. There is zero constitutional ground to demand an end to the practice.
So now because of "skin inflammation" it is a brutal practice? That is just digging this pit of stupidity deeper; brutal is certainly a subjective word with no "scientific scale' to measure, but, anyone who holds that being cracked in the ass is Brutal lives a very sugar-coated life. Grow up homo.
"Die! Fall upon your sword. Fall upon your knee.
Die like your Son, nailed to his Tree.
Die by my hand. Die in my heart,
plucked from the Ice;
forever cold." |
