And how that would undo the harm their stupid act did? My thinking is that the consequences of getting caught should not be limited to being punished, it should include a requirement that the perpetrator must undo the damage they did. If they spend the next 52 Saturdays removing garbage from beaches or parks for 8 hours, they will feel punished and they will have undid, at least some of the damage they did. If the right people are assigned to supervise them, maybe they can instill in them, a respect for the environment they obviously don't have now. If all you do is publicly flog them, all you will do is turn them into angry young men, no lesson learned.

But flog them first...they won't soon forget it.

It also depends on what sort of person you are.”
I wonder if their parents owned that 3/4 million dollar boat.
Idiotic acts by teenagers will never go away. But I agree- there needs to be a harsh punishment. A hefty fine and weeks and weeks of cleaning up the environment somewhere.
A fine hefty enough that phase two of their punishment is their parents telling them "We're not paying this, you are. Get a job"
I think that because the parents are responsible for the care and upbringing of the juveniles maybe they could join them for the next 52 Saturdays cleaning up beaches and maybe even take some classes about the environment.

I was worried the last time we had a real estate appraiser for the county come through driving a Porsche SUV with a magnetic sign on the door, but was relieved to find out it was a confiscation from a drug arrest. My first thought was, "This can't be a good sign".
