Freedom of Speech?

The jury was wrong to rule Timothy Boomer guilty because they failed to take into consideration the fact that Boomer is a human being and he reacted when he fell out of his canoe. Although he was illegedly yelling out obsentities, it was for a reason. Under normal circumstances, maybe he should be persecuted, but Boomer possibly was partially fearing for his life, or maybe just really bummed his clothes were soaked. In the heat of the moment, this was how he reacted. He wasn't cussing just to cuss. Another thing to take into consideration is Boomer might not have truly realized that children were around him. Many people don't have a filter when it comes to cussing so they probably don't look for children around before they decide to cuss. This law seems dated.
