… on Election Day, Nov. 4, 2008, a New Hampshire property owner was removing Democratic political signs someone else had planted on his property, when some busybody walking his dog verbally accosted him with the words, “What are you doing? You can’t do that. Who do you think you are?”
To which the property owner, quite reasonably, responded, “Who the (F-bomb) are you?”
At which point the dog owner, who turns out to be a professional busybody, a.k.a. lawyer,* sought to impress the property owner with that fact by presenting his business card. The property owner looked it over, and announced, “Ryan Russman, you are a (F-bombing) (expletive).”
As the story goes, Russman immediately phoned police to say he felt threatened. A statement by Russman filed with the court says he was "quite nervous and frightened and believed he was about to strike me."
What a pussy! What a homo! It was the guy's own yard! He should have beaten the crap out this guy on general principles and gotten a medal and a lifetime certificate for free pancakes at IHOP.
Plus he was removing Democratic political signs that were illegally placed in his yard.
Should be the end of the story, but no, this f-ing attorney doesn't drop the charges. Thank God the judge has a modicum of common sense and completely exonerates the poor guy. So you can call someone a f-ing expletive legally, in case you were concerned.
If you follow the link you will note that the newspaper report is silent on whether the judge addressed the issue of whether or not Ryan Russman is in fact a F-ing expletive. (Of course he is!) That does not appear to have been a point of dispute, though it is conceivable it might be relevant for defense counsel to establish the fact for a jury of Rieseberg’s peers, in the event they weren’t able to figure it out for themselves.
