Freedom Of Speech

I feel Timothy Boomer's first amendment was violated. The first amendment states everyone has the right of freedom of speech. Boomer fell out of a canoe, and proceeded to cuss. I do not believe he should have been prosecuted for stating how he felt. Regardless if children were around him or not, he can still say how he feels. He was not in a professional setting where he had to set an example for the children around him. I could bet that half the children around him have heard the f-bomb several times before. They've probably heard it at their homes, from their own parents mouths. I do not believe that he should have gotten in trouble for swearing after falling out of a canoe. I highly doubt that he was screaming it into children's faces or directing the swearing to the kids. The kids over heard him swearing, just like I'm sure they have before from someone else. I feel the first amendment protects everyone from saying how they feel.
