About 2 miles from my house there are still some stone stocks, they are used regular for fates and galas, school fund raising and stuff like that, its a right good laugh when you see people in them getting stuff thrown at them, can you imagine how humiliating it would be for the thugs of this country to have to go in them and have stuff thrown at them, I really think it should be done, its not dangerous, the only thing it will do is damage their pride and hopefully humiliate them so much they will never commit a crime again, bring it on I say, I have a kilo of tomatoes in the fridge ready.

I think it's not a bad idea but with reservations.
You should be aware that the stocks in mediaeval times were not the more or less harmless, ridiculous punishment we think of today. It was not just rotten fruit that was thrown, it was also stones. People quite often died in the stocks from being stoned to death.
I would favour it for paedophiles though.

They should have one outside every supermarket, shopping centre and HIgh Street, for the shoplifters, purse snatchers (a lot of victims are defenceless elderly women) for starters.
Bring back the birch as well for the thugs who terrorise neighbourhoods as well.

Sounds like a good idea, although in keeping with modern times we could throw organic cus cus or sun dried tomatoes

specific for continual, Petty and nuisance criminals yet for those monsters the shares are thank you to lenient, all rapists, toddler molesters-killers and murders must be used as human guinea pigs for brand spanking new scientific drugs and innovations. That way they might help pay lower back to society for what crimes they have committed.

Hell yeah. And what you throw could depend on the crime. From rotten tomatos to rocks.
Fun for all the family I say.

Stocks were a deterrent then mind you as it has been said where they commit their crime then put them in stocks there.

I don't believe that violence of any kind is a solution to crime.
However, i do think that surgically removing certain body parts would certainly help in the reduction of rape and child molestation.
