It's NOT okay to write someone a ticket for cursing. It's not okay for the government to punish them for offending them. Hell, it's not even okay for someone to take it into their own hands and puch someone for cussing.

However, it would've been perfectly okay for Wal Mart to ask this woman to leave their property, or for the Fire Chief to simply ask her, and when she said no, walked away. The lady is ****y either way, but I don't think anyone should have the authority to say, "That word is not okay to use," unless they own the property and plan to ask the person to leave.
