Should yobs who carry knives be jailed?

Jailed ,yes of course and more. Really tough measures are called for. Its bad enough being targetted by a mob, they cause added embarassment to their victim by attacking them in public in full view of bystanders who never lift a finger to help, and no wonder really as any helper will just become a victim too. These thugs also need to feel humilated. Bring back the birch! Pelt them with rotten eggs and tomatoes, in a public place, like the courtyard of the council estate they live on. Prison is reported to be a soft option. The sentences are very short if a sentence is handed out at all and it makes no difference and changes nothing. Seeing as they are so big on getting respect. Some public humiliation might deter them, from thinking they run the streets and estates.
