re: Mother arrested at South Carolina Kroger for cursing in front of kids.

I was shopping in the produce section at Albertsons once and a lady was waiting in line to get some chicken wings or something. She had a cute little boy with her. He couldn't have been more than two, if that old.

He was excitedly walking around to the produce that was nearby and pointing at the apples and saying "ball! ball!"

His clearly angry mother warned him to not touch the fruit and to come back over to where she was standing.

He picked up an apple and held it out and with a huge smile on his face said "mama, ball! ball!"

She darted over to him, jerked the apple out of his hand violently, jerked him by the arm violently, got about an inch from his face and said "listen to me you little mother f****, you better listen to me when I god*** tell you not to do something"

The little boy immediately crumpled to the floor in, what I assume was fear or possibly a learned reaction to physical abuse.

Anyway, she dragged him by his arm back into line.

I could just see the childlike purity drain from his face.

It was profoundly sad.

Yeah...I'm not saying that cussing in front of kids (or especially directly at them) isn't trashy or unethical. However, it shouldn't be illegal where you can be detained solely for using the word itself.

Yep I flubbed it. oh well.

Bet her fat arse will think twice before she starts dropping F bombs in public again.

Please point out one fact in your idiotic post?

The point is that there are no facts to indicate why the police where called. The story insinuates that the cops were called simply because this lady used profanity in front of her children. I seriously doubt the store managers, or whoever, called the police solely because a lady was using profanity. This is only bolstered by the fact that the article doesn't say exactly why the police were called, only that "somehow" the police were called. What's more likely? That the cops were called because a lady used bad language, or that the cops were called because a argument between customers took place?

From the sparse details given in the story do we know for a fact that an argument took place? No. This of course is why my post used such language as "I suspect" or "I would be willing to bet" as opposed to definitive statements. However, you are a complete fool, or unbelievably naive if you thinks cops got involved in this SOLELY because a lady allegedly used profanity. In fact, the brief quote from the other shopper suggest that my suspected version of what happen actually is the real reason this woman was arrested:

"But the shopper denies having a bad day, and says Wolf used profanity repeatedly — and even cursed at her after she approached the family to complain."

Sorry if I don't take every "I was unjustly arrested" bullshite story at face value.

let me check my pocket constitution. yep, right here, freedom of speech.

frick the po-leese

Cussing around kids in a public place not trashy huh ?
