What's funny is that Margaret Lyons, who is known herself to make some unaesthetic choices in her use of language, should be the one to point it out when it's done by others.

@Herstory: It is ESSENTIAL that this language is tolerated. Talking like an asshole is not against the law, nor should it be. I wish other people who think like Frank Schweihs were more open about it, then I'd know where NOT to spend my money. I'm sorry, but this story is hysterical. An old gangster who's so out-of-it from chemotherapy that he doesn't grasp he's shouting homophobic, racist taunts inside a courtroom. That is damn FUNNY.

Where was the judge? This type of language should not be tolerated by anyone...old, sick, skilled mobster, whatever.

Part of me wants to go to court when he's on trial and make kissy-faces at him. Then I remember he's in the mob (allegedly).

Normally I try to have compassion for people with cancer, but now know my limit.
