The value of public humiliation

Maybe Pinkey Carr is onto something.

The Cleveland judge who last year ordered a woman to hold a sign calling herself an "idiot" for driving on a sidewalk to get around a stopped school bus, has issued a sign sentence again this week.

Richard Dameron is getting 90 days in jail for threatening officers in 911 calls, but Judge Carr also ordered him to stand in front of a police station.

"I was being an idiot and it will never happen again," the sign will say.

Is it wise to have someone who threatened police in front of the station.....
