WARNING ADULT CONTENT: Charges Dropped Against Texas Woman Who Dropped F-Bomb at Walmart

First, let’s set the record straight, we are absolutely in favor of civility and deplore the coarsening of society. There is way too much gratuitous filthy language in Hollywood, case in point, the movie “Sixty One,” the Billy Crystal movie about Roger Maris’s pursuit of Babe Ruth’s homerun record that would have been a wonderful father/son bonding movie were it not for tirade upon tirade of foul language.

Second, there are situations where naughty language slips out. If a person drops a hammer on his toes, he is not likely to say, “Oh, fiddle sticks.” More often, the response would be something like, “God damnit!” “Aw fuck!” or “Jesus Christ.” There are even rare interactions with idiots where there is no other way to deal with the situation than a nice healthy, “Fuck you!”

Here's the story that caught our attention from the Galveston County Daily News.

The story that motivated this little blurb deals with a Texas woman, Kathryn Fridge, shopping for batteries at her local Walmart with her two year old daughter. She was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct for being overheard saying, “They don’t have any fucking more.” She might have been just a little bit anxious as Tropical Storm Edouard was approaching landfall.

Her words were overhead by Alfred A. Decker IV, assistant fire marshall for the town of La Marque, Texas who cited Ms. Fridge on August 4, 2008. Decker handcuffed her, took her to his car, and issued a citation.

At long last, months later, March 19, 2009, City Prosecutor Jay Brown dropped the charge against Ms. Fridge according to Interim City Manager, Eric Gage. Gage issued the following statement from Mr. Brown:

“After completion of his investigation to the facts of the case and existing case law, the state contends there is insufficient evidence to proceed and moves to dismiss,”

Reacting to her charges being dropped, Ms. Fridge indicated she felt her name had been tarnished observing that she has seen police deal with far more filthy language remaining stone faced despite a barrage of obscenities concluding, “Her flipped out about something that didn’t have anything to do with him.”

We make our opinion perfectly clear about this, what Mr. Decker did is a bunch of fucking bullshit, and to his self-righteous holier than thou big shot with a badge attitude, we say, “FUCK YOU.” For being such an pompous asshole, we say, “FUCK YOU!” For wasting public time over something so petty, we say “FUCK YOU.” For not understanding a woman might be rightfully upset about not being able to find batteries with a storm approaching, we say, “FUCK YOU.” Furthermore, just on the overall principle of the whole thing Mr. Decker, “FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU!!!”
