This might seem like a strange title, but it is just an observastion really. And it is an observation of when when judges or people in authority dish out a harsh punishment to for a crime or wrong doing, and they say they are doing it “to make an example” of the person.
This might seem logical. But I was thinking about it yesterday, and it only makes sense if the knowledge of person you are making an example of a reaches its entended target, i.e. other people that would do the same as the person in the wrong.
So my point is that unless they actually combine the “making example” with making sure that this info reaches as many people as possible. Then for me it is a bit of a wasted opportunity.
How they would go about doing that though, is anyone’s guess.
