An Ohio judge came up with a unique solution to punish a 62-year-old man who was found guilty of harassing his neighbors over the course of a 15-year feud.
As a punishment, Edmond Aviv will be forced to stand outside on Sunday for five hours with a sign that reads: "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."
In addition to the sign, Aviv was also sentenced to 15 days in jail, seven months on probation, 100 hours of community service, anger management classes and personal counseling.
Edmond was doing very strange and nasty things all because his neighbors had adopted two black children with developmental disabilities.
Should we start putting signs on convicted criminals and force them to stand outside? I wonder what Madoff's sign would say...
