Woman escapes jail for swearing at toilet.

[ingac70]

*Snip*

A US woman who was facing jail for swearing at her toilet has been acquitted.
Dawn Herb, 31, of Scranton, Pennsylvania, was charged after an off duty police officer overheard her swear at an overflowing toilet.

Officer Patrick Gilman told the hearing he heard someone yell: "Are you f***ing retarded? Get me the f***ing mop."

Patrolman Gilman said he then yelled, "Watch your mouth", to which the person replied: "F*** off."

He then called Patrolman Gerald Tallo, who was on duty at the time, who charged Ms Herb after she admitted cursing at her toilet.

2. That "activist" judge let her off easy....

3. REAL crime? Are you NUTS? A fellow could get HURT dealing with that stuff!

And real crime doesn't provide nearly as many opportunities
for aging, unfulfilled High School BULLIES to get their kicks
by abusing the weaker members of society, YaKnoWhutImean?

REAL crime involves people who occasionally FIGHT BACK;
where's the fun in that?

4. Our tax dollars, hard at work.

Now, maybe they can go make sure Willie Nelson isn't smoking a joint to relax.

5. F*** off, Gerald Tallo n/t

6. She's lucky she didn't get Tazered.

Any cop that would arrest someone for swearing at an overflowing toilet is a cop with one hand on his Tazer.

7. Where was Gilman that he heard this? Inquiring minds want...

to know.

Could he have been the person who couldn't find the mop?

8. Hope they have to pay her court costs

Nice chunk of public funds wasted over nothing :grr:

9. Wait, I can't curse in my own home anymore? /nt

10. "Don't tase me toi..."

[Toots]

11. And she wasn't tasered on the spot, what is wrong with these cops?

She should have been beaten and tasered immediately. How dare her swear at anything in this new Bush* Amerika we live in..On the other hand I notice Cheney did not get arrested for telling a US Senator to "Fuck Off"

20. Yeah, it STARTS with the toilet. But soon, she'll be swearing at the refrigerator!

Then, the toaster. Then she'll be into the "hard" stuff, swearing at the TV.

I say, NIP IT! NIP IT IN THE BUD RIGHT NOW!

(We're only doing this for her own good, of course.)

12. Hey if the Vice-President can say it why not us?

[LeftishBrit]

13. Good. I'd have been in jail long ago if that were a crime!

[gatorboy]

14. It was obviously the woman telling the cop to "fuck off" that got her in trouble.

Saying it was her cursing a toilet makes a great story but let's be honest here...He got pissed and that was that.

[RedCappedBandit]

17. Is there a problem with telling

an off duty cop to fuck off?

[gatorboy]

18. Nope.

You have a problem with it?

[Javaman]

15. Why do toilets hate america? nt

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

16. I'd Be Pissed Too If My Toilet Didn't Promptly Bring Me The Mop.

Damn lazy toilets.
