Potty-mouth
What did he think he was doing? Is there a law in Texas against saying "fuck?" Or is there a rule that MalWart has about it? It isn't like I go around dropping the f-bomb every 5 minutes or anything, really. I very seldom use the word. I would be astounded and talking to an attorney or something if some moron arrested me for saying it!
Not only that, but does her using that word fall under any of the definitions of "disorderly conduct?" I don't know what Texas law states as being disorderly conduct. The laws vary widely and interpretation of those laws, even within a state, also vary widely. I think the general idea is this:
- Public drunkenness
- Inciting a riot
- disturbance of the peace
- loitering in certain areas
- fighting / physical altercations
- obstructing traffic
- use of extremely obscene or abusive language
- loud or unreasonable noise
If the community decides what is obscene or abusive there are some places where uttering a "damn" would get you tossed in jail. There are other places where anyone who doesn't swear like a trooper is an object of suspicion.
I also wonder about a fire marshall's right within the law to actually arrest someone.
It's nuts.
