Screaming in public

I do not think that the jury was right to convict Timothy Boomer just because he was screaming the f-word in a public place, and thats the key word public. I think that they were wrong because it is a public place its not like he was in someones house at there childs birthday party screaming his head off, he was canoeing and he fell out of his canoe. like most normal people Tim got mad and decided to say some selected words. Was it wrong that he got mad that his canoe tipped over, no anyone in there right mind would have been mad. now most people swear, he just did it in a fashion where a lot of people heard him. did he have to yell? no, but he did, and yes i dont think that someone should just scream the f-word but he did. he didnt know that there would be children around he was just upset that his canoe tipped and that he got all wet. who knows how many times he dropped the f-bomb but the fact of the matter is i dont think he should have gotten tried for swearing in public. for example you can walk around campus and hear people swear all the time im not gonna say "you who just swore whats your name im going to sue you for swearing in public." i think that some people are just to uptight about what there children hear. there going to hear it anyway, your not a good parent for getting someone in trouble for swearing in front of your child. a good parent would have just said " now young man/lady you dont say the words you hear people say because they're not nice things to say." to me i dont think Timothy Boomer did anything wrong he just got mad in the wrong place at the wrong time.
