In 1993, U.S. President Bill Clinton called Singaporean President Wang Dingchang: "He is still a child, fines and detention can be done, don't use flogging and spanking, this is too inhumane." ”
Singaporean President Wang Dingchang righteously refused: "Singapore's judiciary is fair, and the president has no right to interfere." "The Singapore judiciary has also issued a statement that foreigners who break the law are treated equally and resolutely enforced.
In the end, the Singapore court changed the 6 lashes that had been sentenced to 4, and the implementation of its criminal law aroused the attention of world public opinion, especially in the United States, causing a tsunami of movement.
Under a lot of attention, the boy's ass photo after being whipped actually sold for $200,000 in royalties, and after calming down, Western public opinion began to reflect on itself, is this a sick society?
Back to the point, what kind of events happened here, and why did this incident alarm the presidents of New Zealand and the United States?
It all started one day two months ago when residents of a community in Singapore woke up early in the morning to find that the walls and cars in the community had been painted with various colors of paint, and many cars had been smashed glass and punctured tires.
After the Singapore police investigation found nothing, the community launched an active self-help, installed a large number of cameras and other surveillance equipment, if it is repeated, it vows to seize this "king of destruction".
Skynet was restored, but not leaked, and a few months later, 6 cars were again graffitied, and although the surveillance did not record the crime scene, it also left clues.
The camera recorded several teenagers, whose faces were not clear, but they were recognizable as being made in singapore's American school costumes.
The police visited the school to investigate, and soon Michael P. Fay and several of his classmates surfaced.
Be cautious when you see the police, these classmates immediately said in unison that Fay did it alone, they were just insiders and bystanders, and did not participate in the destruction.
Faye quickly admitted that he had scribbled on the car, thinking that it was not a big deal to fine or short-term detention, and it was a big deal to be fined a few days of community volunteer labor in the United States.
However, the police showed him an arrest warrant, charged with damaging public property, and his classmates looked pale on the spot, and Fay looked contemptuous, scared like this, really fearless.
Is The American teenager Faye really so kind, dare to be bold? No, that is just the fearlessness of the ignorant, when he learned that he would be sentenced to be flogged, the skin color on his face immediately became as "white and tender" as his classmates, denying the crime, indicating that he was actually a well-behaved baby who "studied well and improved every day", and his heart was concerned about the world.
However, the Singapore police investigated and found that Faye had always been a problem teenager, often engaged in such pranks in the United States, and had a bad record of being expelled from high school for burning public property.
Faye came to Singapore with her stepfather's job change and did not restrain herself. Who knows that the laws of the United States are very different from those of Singapore, and that can be done with money in the United States, in Singapore, it is to use the whip, and the heavens have spared no one.
In the end, the American teenager Faye was sentenced to 4 months in prison, fined S$3,500 and whipped 6 times by the Singapore court in the first instance for damaging public property and community vehicles.
At the time of the verdict, the front of the imprisonment and fine Fay was still able to stabilize his body, and when he heard the whipping 6 times, he immediately frightened. If there may have been no concept before, but the evil patch during the detention made him aware of the horror of the whipping, and none of the people sentenced to the whipping were not carried down lying down.
Singapore whipped an 18-year-old American teenager, and after the incident was reported by the media, it caused an uproar in the United States.
Dozens of Americans wrote to the Singapore Embassy in the United States asking for a change in sentences, and more than 20 U.S. senators wrote a joint letter asking for leniency... The final alarm shocked the then US President Clinton, so there was the opening scene of this article.
The main reason why flogging is so daunting is its terrible lethality.
Next, before talking about the teenager's singing of "pain through the heart" and whether he was "a good man with yellow thorns" in his later life, we will first introduce the origin and power of the whipping.
In the history of mankind, there have been all kinds of strange criminal laws, such as the "Ten Great Tortures of Ancient China": car cracking, Ling Chi, cooking, etc., which are very cruel and violent, but also extremely deterrent, with the development of the times, these inhuman punishments have also withdrawn from the historical stage early.
One of the common criminal laws of all dynasties was spanking, punishing prisoners with a board or whip. This kind of criminal law, which sounds very ordinary, actually often kills people.
Speaking of whipping, it is natural to mention the cane punishment, the rod is used with a wooden stick, and the current whipping is actually a stick, 1.2 meters long, 1.3 cm thick rattan, rattan stick, because of the strong flexibility, not easy to break, is called cane whip.
In ancient times, it was called real whipping, cowhide whip, sheepskin whip, the whip was wrapped in cow bones and sheep bones, and the skin was opened and broken, which was particularly cruel.
Don't underestimate the current rattan, this thing can still destroy people with a whip.
In China, it existed during the era of the Yellow Emperor, and by the time of Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty and Emperor Jing, it was used as an official criminal law, but it was soon stipulated that only spanking could be done, because beatings elsewhere were either dead or mutilated.
The lethality of the staff punishment is amazing, which is the reason for the Battle of Chibi, huang gai's bitter meat plan, and Cao Cao's deception. On the back of the yellow cover, note that it is not on the ass, but dozens of sticks on the back, and the skin is open and fleshy. "Cane punishment, back beating" means nine deaths, cao cao in the Eastern Wu army after witnessing it with his own eyes, Cao Cao naturally believed it.
This is not that Cao Cao is very stupid and naïve, this can only show that this is a very heavy and easy to kill people's criminal law, no one dares to try, take it as a child, Huang Gai is really not dead.
Look at the "Water Margin" as strong as Wu Song, Li Kui and the like, tigers can be killed, that body plate is more than the beast, the result of going to prison to kill the stick, can only be beaten into a confession.
In the original work, the prison guard is described, picking up the bamboo pieces of the head and raining down. Wu Song knew that he was not a living head, so he had to be beaten into a confession and admit that he was a thief.
The head bamboo piece is a torture device for the Song Dynasty to beat the board, flat as bamboo, far less powerful than the stick, if replaced by a stick, this raindrop down, Wu Song and Li Kui may not even have the opportunity to bend into a move, directly burp fart.
To this day, there are still 16 countries in the world that have been flogged. For example, Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, Malaysia, Afghanistan, Iran and so on. Mostly Silin countries, Singapore is the only non-Muslim developed country.
There are also many countries that exist in informal forms, such as China, when I was a child, especially after junior high school, my mother found that her "Hercules" could not hurt me, especially when I was afraid, she pulled out the belt around her waist to give me a "flogging".
Singapore's whipping fart, Indonesia's whipping back, this is mainly Indonesian whipping has fixed and stiff movements, angles, limited lethality, which is also the reason why you can hit the back here, and dozens of hundreds of times.
In Indonesia's Yachit region, gambling, adultery, drinking, same-sex or premarital sex, which are acquiesced in other countries, are whipped here, and even women are beaten, with a maximum sentence of 146.
In 2016, six unmarried couples were sentenced to 10 to 20 lashes in public for committing "excessively intimate acts." Even married women are beaten when they are alone with other men, whether or not they are caught using the tools of the crime.
Therefore, Indonesia does not have a "sea king", there is no space for the sea king to live, and the sea king will be abused here, not to mention the "sea dog".
Personal feelings, or the land we live in is good!
Indonesian whipping or public execution, eating melon masses often come earlier than the official personnel, seize the position, its heat is like the bad behavior of watching the jumping off the building before, small benches, shooting poles, put on the Internet to suck traffic to grab fans, here is no copyright this statement ...
If Indonesian whipping is regarded as a pistol, Singaporean whipping is a cannon, and the lethality is famously "one whip is wasted".
Singapore's criminal law system originates from the criminal law of the United Kingdom and British India, and the prison guards who carry out whipping need to be selected layer by layer, requiring tall figures, fighting or martial arts roots, and then undergoing special training, not only generous treatment, but also the introduction of competition mechanisms, and if they are not good, they must be replaced and eliminated.
Therefore, when performing the whipping, the executioner spared no effort, rounded his arms, used all his strength, and turned half a circle with his feet as the fulcrum, and shot hard.
So down, the three whips will be replaced by an executioner, Mofa, eating is a physical work, let alone beating people! Therefore, medical personnel will also be equipped at the scene to check the prisoners after each whip and judge the status of the prisoners at any time.
When the doctor feels that the patient's condition is not good enough to withstand the next whip, the flogging ends.
Singapore's whipping rules: Healthy men under the age of 50, whether Singaporean or not, can be sentenced to flogging, with a minimum of 3 lashes and a maximum of 24 lashes, and the target of punishment is not necessarily a repeat offender.
Why can it only be sentenced to a maximum of 24 lashes? It is said that in the case of non-repetition of the landing point, the number of human farts can just cover, and in most cases the sentence is below 10.
Even if the number of lashes of the verdict is small, it is much more than the shock of dozens or hundreds of lashes in Indonesia.
The only good news is that the executions here are not public, which is why a picture of an American teenager's beaten ass can be strange;
In addition, there is no flogging of women, and 40% of Singapore's population is foreigners, so I don't know how this article is implemented for Thais.
During execution, prisoners are stripped naked and tied to a special whip rack, and special tools are used to protect their waists and thighs, exposing only their ass.
In the past, if the body could not stand up, one beat could not be finished, there was no hurry, and then the hospitalization was good and then continued to fight. As the saying goes, long pain is not as good as short pain, this repeated way, people are about to be scared out of neuropathy, and later changed to the doctor's diagnosis and issued a conclusion that it is not appropriate to continue, the remaining number of whips is converted into a sentence, but the prisoner takes the initiative to escape the whipping by extending the sentence is not allowed.
Whipping will leave a lifelong mark on the ass, such a mark on the ass, it is estimated that it is difficult to find an object, right? Especially for women, this should also be the reason why Singapore's flogging is not suitable for women.
Singapore's laws are very strict, even known as the most severe country.
Littering in Singapore, smoking in public places, eating on the subway, and even eating gum and not flushing toilets can also result in fines.
Drunk driving in Singapore will be severely punished, if it is a second entry into the palace or serious consequences due to drunk driving, it is not only a fine, whipping.
Singapore also retains the death penalty, not by injection or shooting, which is the most brutal hanging.
As the saying goes, the world is highly developed, why Singapore is so harsh, this stems from the origin of Singapore.
When Singapore became independent from Malaysia in 1965, it was nothing, no technology, no resources, no army, just a small fishing village that could not even guarantee the basic livelihood of the residents.
Ordinary people live in poverty, theft and plunder occur from time to time, Lee Kuan Yew believes that human nature is inherently evil, without severe punishment can not be controlled, if you want to develop the country, first legislate. As a result, Singapore is strict and subtle and ruthless in its formulation of laws.
The emperor was not in a hurry for eunuchs. Most European and American countries felt that this kind of flogging was too inhumane, and many countries condemned it and hoped that the Singapore government would abolish it, but the domestic vote in Singapore showed that the majority of the people supported flogging.
Even some Americans believe that bear children like Faye are difficult to let them keep to themselves, blame themselves, and flogging is a good way.
Eventually, Faye was whipped 4 times, and when he hit the first whip, he closed his eyes, his whole body trembled slightly with nervousness, and when the first whip fell, he screamed "Hurt me to death!" The guard said, "OK, Mike, and three whips." "OK, Mike, and two lashes"...
After the execution, Fay walked back to the cell with the help and support of the guards, the skin was cracked and bleeding, not to mention the blood gushing, similar to nosebleeds, but surprisingly painful.
The American ambassador went to visit him in prison, and the ambassador, not knowing whether he was curious or genuinely concerned, offered to see Fay's injured ass, and Fay agreed, unveiling the gauze, which was thin and rotten, and the skin and flesh were torn open, because there were two whips overlapping, and the local wound was wide and thick and round, and the situation was serious.
Faye later recalled: "The first whiplash came down... It hurts incredibly, the whole body feels only the hair doesn't hurt, I will never forget it. ”
"This is the nightmare of my life." After returning home, Fay said, "I will never forget Singapore. ”
In reality, however, he quickly forgot. After being released from prison in June 1994, Faye decided to stay away from this sad place so that he could heal his psychological wounds and returned to live with his biological father in the United States.
It is not known whether Fay is strong inside, or whether he has no heart and no lungs, he has successfully recovered in just a few months, and it may be that because the good is too fast, he has good scars and forgets the pain.
Soon, during the barbecue, he played with fire and spit fire with a spirit in his mouth, and as a result, he was burned on the face and hands, fortunately a small injury that did not reach the level of disfigurement.
Two years later, after continuing his efforts, drunk driving rushed to the crops next to the road, the soil was soft, and although the car overturned, only minor injuries were suffered.
In 1998, Faye was arrested by police in Florida on charges of illegally carrying marijuana.
Faye should be glad it's not in Singapore, otherwise it would be hard to protect the fart and not fight badly.
He was fooling around, but he was also very clear and knew where to go and where not to go. He hasn't been to Singapore since, and his scarred ass hasn't affected his marriage and children.
Finally, the author would like to say that flogging is indeed a bit barbaric, but the treatment of greed can be considered to introduce Ha.
