Lot of cursing, no arrests at 'swear-in' in Middleboro

MIDDLEBORO —
Between 50 and 100 people turned out in pouring rain today to curse the new bylaw that may ticket folks for public swearing.
Some used a bull horn to curse loudly across the Middleboro Town Hall lawn. One protest-goer held a sign with George Carlin’s infamous “seven dirty words” that the comic said can never be used on television. Two Middleboro women wore silk-screened T-shirts that said: “I’m from Middleboro. I swear.”
Many argued that the new town bylaw goes against freedom of speech. The new bylaw must be approved by the state attorney general as constitutional before it can go in effect in Middleboro,a process that could take a few months.



The subject line is what I heard on the regional news, just moments ago!
