[edit] Disputed
The idea of "curb stomping" seems to be well-known primarily because of its inclusion in American History X. It also seems there's a lot of urban lore about the practice. I've seen a few references here and there to it occuring in real life, but can anyone provide some hard information on the subject? --Holdek (talk) 01:19, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
I am an Australian and I have never heard of this practice being called a "smiley" here. 203.51.151.156 13:26, 28 June 2006 (UTC)Nathan
Check http://forums.comicbookresources.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=&f=25 for numerous examples of how "curbstomping" is used as a synonyme to "completely dominating an opponent". 213.65.63.178 17:18, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Frankly, this article needs sources to prove the practice commonly exists in the real world and is not just a movie creation. — Mike 01:28, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

In September 2002, two racist skinheads, Waylon Kennell and James Grlicky, assaulted a migrant farm worker in San Diego County, curbstomping him on a brick. The victim suffered serious injuries, including brain damage, loss of memory, and almost every bone in his face was fractured.
[edit] Method of execution?
All the other methods of execution within this category appear to have been used as a government sanctioned or government prescribed method of extinction. This does not seem to fall into this category, perhaps a methods of murder categorisation would seem to be be more logical?
