I'm just quoting the law but your rights end when they infringe on another persons rights. Its not freedom of speech for me to call you an a$$hole to your face, its harassment. Cursing someone to their face is harrasment and thats the way the law should read. What if we were allowed to say anything to anyone we wanted to, it would be a crude violent world.

I believe the geezer would have been verbally harassing one of the ladies...

That's not okay...  ...

In Nevada there is no such law I can call you an a$$hole to your face all I want as long as I don’t threaten you or challenge you to a fight etc.
