S-bomb Brings Contempt, But Not F-bomb?

By John Mesirow

Sounds crazy, right? But that's apparently the way it went down. As reported by WLWT.com:

Jamel Sechrest, one of 50 people accused of being members of the "Taliband" wasn't happy that his trial is set for February and told Judge Robert Ruehlman "That's f---ing bulls--t."

The Judge hit him with a 6-month contempt sentence, stating:

"You don?t say bulls--t in the courtroom."

What about "fucking bullcrap?" I know, I know. The Judge was probably so pissed off that he forgot to say "fucking bullshit." I'm just telling you what he said.

Here's a classic post with an extended give-and-take between an f-bomber and a judge. If you like that one, here's another. Enjoy!
