[ZULU]

I don't think the general public should be forced to listen to some cretin spouting off profanity in public hearing.

If the guy was doing it so only the person to whom it was directed heard it, it would be an issue to settle between them personally, and personally, I know few people who wouldn't react to being cursed out by some nitwit.

Its very unfortunate that society has become so "civilized" that people rely on the Courts, slimy greedy attorneys and judges to settle every singel issue which arises between them.

This is a perfect example of why people can get in trouble for as much as defending their family and home.

"This is a perfect example of why people can get in trouble for as much as defending their family and home."

You have a warped idea about what constitutes a danger to your family and home. If you are physically attacked, then of course it is right and proper to defend them with force. Bad words cannot harm you though. This is why 'civilization' punishes people who physically attack others and not those who verbally attack others.

Do you think people who kill others in acts of road rage are justified if they do so because someone flips them off, or calls them a bad name? It sounds as if you do.
