That's really gotta be the best headline I've read in at least the last year:

Excerpt - note the portion I've highlighted:
TEXAS CITY, Texas — A Texas City man accused of using a curse word to describe what cats left behind in his yard has been acquitted of disorderly conduct.
A municipal jury found 48-year-old Joseph Loflin not guilty.
Police on Feb. 8 cited Loflin over his conversation on a street with a neighbor and the man's 13-year-old ********.
The Galveston County Daily News reported Thursday that Loflin allegedly used a vulgar term for ***** three times when talking about their cats messing in his yard.
Loflin says he never meant to incite Michael Rainey or his ********.
But Rainey says a "little piece of America died" when a jury says it's OK to curse in front of a 13-year-old "when asked not to."
Juror John-Paul Caro says lack of evidence and additional witnesses prompted Tuesday's acquittal.
