A Massachusetts lawmaker is seeking to make the use of a certain expletive a fineable offense, with jail time a threat for repeat offenders, according to a proposed bill.

Violations may be reported by"the person to whom the offensive language was directed at or by any witness to such incident," according to the bill. A fine of up to $200 can be issued to the offender. Repeat offenders can also be jailed for up to six months, according to the penalty.

By the looks of him I guess he's tired of being called a little ***** so he wants to make it a crime

Everyone annoys me with their speech its ridiculous to think in America that's a reason to limit free speech

That’s what communists do

Down the end of the 1st Amendment rabbit hole Massachusetts goes.....you vote Dem, you get communism!!!

You cant censor ppl freedom 9f speech iz in the constitution no law can fringe upon that

Bitch, please

Have liberals gone insane? When did people stop grasping the concept of FREE speech? What is the matter with our media today that they seem to welcome restrictions to free speech rather than to defend free speech? I'm talking to you! What the hell is wrong with you?

$200? Bitches GoFundMe PAB

That is ridiculous, might as well ban ALL swear words that are much more offensive than the ' b word'. What about the ' c' , ' f', ' n', 's', 'other b word', and more. Enough is enough and everyone is always offended by something, it's out of control. EnoughPCBullshit

Stupid

Is the word “deplorable”?

Its an obvious violation of the first amendment if a personnis very rude and female that qord may be applicable. It isnt about removing curse words if that was the case they should have introduced a bill making umany use of the N word illegal. If u Go after bad words go 4 numbr 1
