For 15 years, Mike Prugh says, his next-door neighbour, 62-year-old Edmond Aviv, has harassed his family including adopted African-American siblings with disabilities.

After appearing in court five times over the years, Judge Gayle Williams-Byers said enough is enough. She sentenced Aviv to 15 days in jail and ordered him to make a sign saying he is a bully.
On Sunday, he had to stand at a street corner holding the sign to let people know what he did. As part of his sentence, Aviv is required to write a letter of apology to the Prugh family, take anger management classes and complete 100 hours of community service. If he fails to do any of that, he will go back to jail.

Wow! Good for that judge!
I wonder where "cruel and unusual punishment" comes in.
holding a sign does nothing - he should be doing something productive that actually helps someone
