Restauranteur Jeff Ruby was kicked out of the Drew Peterson trial today because he locked eyes with Peterson and mouthed something at him. The Sun-Times identified Ruby's words as "a two-word epithet," and NBC says one witness said the first word started with "F." Oh, come on, we're all grown-ups here. Thankfully ABC7 has the guts to report that Ruby mouthed "f--- you."

Outside the courthouse, Ruby complained to the press. The Sun-Times writes:

“I looked at him, he looked at me. He’s getting away with murder, and I’m the one getting kicked out,” steak house owner Jeff Ruby complained outside the courtroom after the confrontation.

“There’s been something I’ve been meaning to tell Drew Peterson for seven years,” Ruby said.

Ruby told NBC that he wanted to give Peterson a little something more than a silent fuck you. "I really thought about giving him a mouth full of missing teeth," Ruby said. "I really did. If you can't take care of things legally, and he's never been taken care of legally, you take care of them physically where I come from in Jersey."
