No, disturbing the peace is one of the charges. "Fighting words" can and are illegal in most jurisdictions. There are factual issues to be resolved here, but IF the incident meets the elements necessary for conviction, she deserves punishment.

For disturbing the peace, maybe, but not for "ridicule on account of race, creed or color" (from the exact words of the statute, as posted at #94). That law is just plain wrong.

To: inquest

What is the standard for conviction under the law you cite? What elements must be present?
