News in Brief: Boy Jailed for "Singing in Public"
According to the Hernando County Sheriff's Department, a complaint was filed by Amy Churchill, mother of two, against Christopher Holder. Holder was walking with two juveniles near Churchill's home, when she heard what she referred to as "language."
Clearly, using language in public is a serious accusation, especially in the presence of juveniles. Quick police action, however, put this dangerous offender safely behind bars before he could further contaminate the neighborhood with strange ideas that could undermine the moral fabric of society.
Who ever heard of such nonsense as 'Freedom of Speech', anyway? Where do kids like Holder think they live - America?

Post a CommentMost likely it was some punk kid singing a foul mouthed soung. Cops show up at 2 in the morning to tell him to be quite, he mouths off, they arrest him.
The story dosn't give any real information, besides that it happened at night. The story sound like another piece anti-cop bias tripe.
Just moving from San Jose I can under stand calling the cops late at night because some one's standing on a street corner singing loudly in the middle of the night and keeping me up. Your right you do have the freedom of speach, but you don't have the right to yell and scream at night and keep me up.
My best research has not turned up the title of the song, but most sources agree that the language was English (which is almost a cardinal sin in and of itself in some parts of Florida).
What was he singing? And what "language" did he use in the presence of minors that got him arrested? I'm intrigued!
