Default Fined $500 for Swearing

No, not me and not on this board :

Milwaukee Man Fined $500 For Cursing On Bus
Man Given Ticket By Undercover Deputy

MILWAUKEE -- A Milwaukee man said he thinks it's pretty darn ridiculous that he got fined $500 for swearing on a county bus.

Terry Duncan said that he considers it un-American to get slapped with a $500 disorderly conduct fine for saying two words. The words in questions started with the letters "f" and "s."

Maybe he was a pyromaniac who yelled: fire started. In this case his free speech would not be protected. Maybe he even did so. Do words speak louder than actions? Sometimes - but committing an action like this would an ucking hitty act towards the other passengers.

Maybe he was a noisefreak, riding in a quiet bus, finally shouting : freaking silence!

Is getting fined straightaway american or is uttering funny stuff any fine sod's freedom?

What do the fellow subsimmers think?
