Petition
Speech
So when Timothy Joseph Boomer, then a
28-year-old engineer, fell into the Rifle
River in Michigan, he let fly a bunch of
curse words.
No problem, except for
(1) a law that makes it illegal to use vulgar
language in front of women and children,
and
(2) (2) the presence of a woman and 2
children.
Incredibly, a deputy heard him and charged
him with violating the 105-year-old law.
What do you think happened?
• The trial judge said the ban on cursing in
front of women was unconstitutional, but
not the ban on cursing in front of children!
