She&#8217;s been arrested for refusing to stop her profanity-laced rant against a pro life student.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Curry found the apparently graphic pro-life display so offensive that she began to loudly protest it using her favorite vocab words. &#8220;Where does it say I can&#8217;t use the f*ck word in public?&#8221; she asked the officers who had asked her to simmer down on the language. &#8220;That image is not profane but the word f*ck is?&#8221; Above, a student&#8217;s cellphone video captures the incident.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Now, I&#8217;m not a prude when it comes to using colorful language. But, if you&#8217;re attempting to engage in an intelligent discussion, it&#8217;s generally a good idea to temper your language to suit the circumstances. This video is not real great PR for the pro-choice side of the discussion.<\/p>\n<p>But that&#8217;s just me. (Note: the vid is NSFW, filled with f-bombs.
