37. I read the best idea for how to punish him for his crime.

Jul 2015

Obvious for some of us the best punishment would be to let a pack of hungry lions hunt him or probably something more practical like serving time in a Zimbabwe jail, which I can't imagine is a place anyone would want to spend quality time.

But in the end there is a better way that could do a world of good for the people of Zimbabwe and maybe give Dr. Palmer DDS a bit of humility to boot.

The man is a dentist. And I'm sure a country like Zimbabwe there is probably thousands of people there who might benefit from free dental care. He can pay back his time by maybe spending 2-3 years running a free Dental clinic in Zimbabwe where he can offer his services to those people who might not be able to afford to see a dentist. Good dental hygiene and especially healthy gums can lead to a healthier life because diseased gums are one of the easiest ways for germs & bacteria to enter into the blood stream and cause health issues.

I think that would be a fitting punishment and put him to good use for the country he harmed!
