The Cussing Canoeist

The jury was indeed wrong to rule against Mr. Boomer. This is a matter of free speech. He was not using his language toward anyone offensively. It was out of anger. This "cuss" word is just that, a word. I think that it is ridiculous that they ruled against him. This should not have even gone to court. In my opinion, he has the right to say what he wants. Kids hear "vulgar" language on tv, movies, and video games everyday. I think hearing someone say the "f-word" isn't as new or shocking as some might think. Society lets Eminem talk about killing his wife and say the "explicit" things he says but they take a man to trial for saying the "f-word" a few times out of anger. It absolutely blows my mind. It was completely unnecessary and stupid, in my opinion.
