'I AM A BULLY' sign-holder calls sentence unfair

[super jumbe]

SOUTH EUCLID, Ohio (AP) ? An Ohio man who spent hours on a street corner Sunday with a sign declaring he's a bully says that the punishment in a disorderly conduct case was unfair and that the judge who sentenced him has ruined his life.

Sixty-two-year-old Edmond Aviv mostly ignored honking horns and people who stopped by to talk with him in South Euclid, the Northeast Ohio Media Group reported Accused bully says judge who sentenced him to hold sign in public 'destroyed' his life | cleveland.com ).

"The judge destroyed me," Aviv said. "This isn't fair at all."

The sentence stemmed from a neighborhood dispute in which a woman said Aviv had bullied her and her disabled children for years. Aviv pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge, and Municipal Court Judge Gayle Williams-Byers ordered him to display the sign for five hours Sunday as part of his sentence.

The judge selected the wording for it: "I AM A BULLY! I pick on children that are disabled, and I am intolerant of those that are different from myself. My actions do not reflect an appreciation for the diverse South Euclid community that I live in."

Aviv arrived at the corner with the sign just before 9 a.m. Sunday. Within a couple of minutes, a passing motorist honked a car horn. Later in the morning, he was sitting in a chair holding the hand-lettered sign in front of him.

This is uus in the 21st century legalised in the court of law, had this sentence happened in third world countries the UN would have impose sanctions.

Don't you mean... 'We can't give sentences out like that because the EU claims it's against his human rights'

I say... 'Bring back pubic floggings & the stocks'

This was a just & apt punishment. Especially as it's made him feel the same as his victims.

Community work works better, tell him to clean public toilets, pick litters from street, standing for 5 hours is that going to stop him committing another offence?

Punishment fits the crime - good judge

[super jumbe]

I could hold a bigger board then that whole week with couple of cans of blacklabel that?s not punishment, it did not fit the crime.

He's correct though, the sentence isn't fair as he wrote it.

"I AM A BULLY I pick on children that are disabled and I am intolerant of those that are different from myself My actions do not reflect an appreciation for the diverse South Euclid community that I live in"

As above, there is no grammar or punctuation applied. The judge should jail him for 6 months for that alone
