So that's what happened to my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle costume!
Seriously, what is with the orange mask on top of the hood? Is it some sort of badge like a martial arts belt? Does orange mean he's passed the 1000 lash mark?
I'd say it's a brutal practice that we left behind centuries ago, but if you look at punishment, both legal and illegal, in this country, you'll find us doing stuff almost as barbaric into the early 20th century.
In 1997 Texas attempted to pass a law to study introducing caning as a judicial punishment.
In 1997 Mississippi attempted to introduce caning as a punishment for church arson.
That being said, I doubt that we would do it the same way.
