Maybe you'd be less bored if you were made to work for the people you robbed until you've paid them back for all you've stolen and destroyed.
Maybe you'd be a little less bored if you were taken to a farm in a remote part of the state and was made to work it from sun up to sun down until you turned 21 years old.
Maybe if you were taken to a public place, your bare buttocks exposed and publicly caned like they do thugs in Singapore, each moment televised for the whole world to see, you and your little friends would have something more to think about other than how bored you are.
