When an otherwise well behaved child does something wrong in class the
teacher may publically identify him in class as a deterent.  As long
as the 'wrong' was minor and as long as it is not part of a pattern,
the punishment, 'publicity', might be viewed as being appropriate.

My Mother witnessed a german soldier grab a baby, her cousin, by the legs,
yank him out of his crib and smash his head on a wall.  Am I to believe
that you are suggesting that if that soldier is found living in Toronto,
the Canadian people should feel satisfied with just 'publicity'??!!

I cannot see that such minor punishment is appropriate for murder.

The views expressed are not necessarily those of my co-workers or my employer.
