Aviv pleaded no contest to misdemeanor disorderly conduct and the sentence imposed by the Judge Gayle Williams-Byers was unconventional and extremely public. On Sunday that sentence was carried out... it included Aviv sitting at a busy intersection for five hours with a sign which read, "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."
Aviv still maintains that he did not bully his neighbors and that this sentence has publicly destroyed him. These types of sentences are gaining popularity across the country for cases of minor disorderly conduct offenses... only time will tell if they are effective.
Thoughts?
