What punishment would fit this crime?

**WARNING**
This video is quite disturbing.

If you were able to be judge & jury, what punishment would you exact for this crime?

1. allowed to use my personal discretion
rather than the laws on the books - I'd just shoot him

2. Weaken him, make him as frail, and beat him the same way.
That's what he deserves. Not what the STATE should do, but its what he deserves.

3. I'd sentence him to a long jail term and have the video played for his cellmates weekly...

...and let nature take its course.

(Something tells me his sentence would be cut short by his early demise)

4. Take him to a retirement home and tie him to a chair.
Then show the video, give everyone a baseball bat, and voila! Justice served!

:)

5. Not quite sure but I wouldn't voice any objection to punishment involving...
...electrodes attached to his scrotum.

:mad:

7. DEATH
Oh, the state doesn't have to do it...

Just make sure the other prisoners know what he did and who he did it to, and they'll take care of the rest, while the prison guards look the other way.

8. There is no punishment that can fit this crime.
I kinda like the idea of making his crime very public when he is incarcerated...

9. Well, I think the usual...
reactions toward something violent to this guy are not all that much better than he is-- justice is not served by killing, maiming, torturing, or whatever, no matter how good it may make you feel for a moment.

Perhaps he should be sentenced to something more like scrubbing the bedpans in a nursing home. (With his tongue?)
