"Go %&#@ Yourself" - unless you live in Middleboro...
So in a vote of 183-50, the citizens in the town of Middleboro game police the authority to fine citizens $20 for using "offensive words" in public. Middleboro has a population of about 22,000, and had a turnout of 233 people or just over 1%.
I'm not sure which subject should be the bigger story:
- The blatant infringement on Free Speech
or
- A town of 22,000 having only 1% of the population show up to a town meeting and permitting that group to vote on ordinances like this.
