You know. Bring the fam down to the town center to watch the weekly hanging of some asshole who shot a place up and wrecked the lives of a bunch of innocent people.
Historically speaking, no. Then again, I don't really have any interest in showing up to watch people get killed or tortured, whether they deserve it or not. I assume we're being hyperbolic and joking a bit to deal with the cynical reality that we are living in, but I don't think I'd partake in such a spectacle and I certainly wouldn't bring my family along for it.
Now if you would have asked me this when I was aged 10-19 or so, I would have said that people being executed in public would be awesome and very effective.
