Re: C Webb's lament "Something must be done about the yobs" (EA May 6).
"Base minds are only awed by fear of punishment'' Sir Jacob Astley, 17th century English Civil War general.
Yobs respect nothing and no one so why should society respect them?
The solution is a radical one. Take a few of the offenders to the nearest tree and hang them until dead. Repeat this solution nationwide. A few innocents will no doubt suffer but it will be for the greater good.
