The Ire Of Texas Is Upon You

A Texas sheriff has issued a "Facebook bounty", triggering a hunt by Fort Bend County police for a local man whose abrasively worded pickup sticker has set tongues wagging.

Sheriff Troy Nehls posted a photo on Facebook of a pickup truck with a decal reading 'Fuck Trump and fuck you for voting for him' on its back window.

In the post, the misguided Sheriff said, "Our prosecutor has informed us she would accept Disorderly Conduct charges regarding this incident,"

Nehls seemed to hope that his post might bear fruit-- but instead, it bore the brunt of a lot of angry Facebook posters.

'Your prosecutor should concentrate on real crime,' wrote Antonio Herrera, while Alissa Nguyen said: 'What A Joke. Love Seeing our law enforcement wasting time and energy on pointless shit.'

And Kasey Rose-Hodge remarked: 'If I had to explain what "grab them by the pussy" meant to my kids, you can explain "Fuck Trump" to yours.'

In an attempt to bolster his point of view in the face of widespread condemnation,  Nehls later posted the definition of disorderly conduct (according to local law), saying that it includes 'abusive, indecent, profane, or vulgar language in a public place' that 'tends to incite an immediate breach of the peace'.

However, should the prosecutor attempt to press charges, he or she may find themselves hitting a Supreme Court-shaped brick wall.  In 1971, in the case Cohen v California, the Supreme Court overturned a conviction against a 19-year-old Paul Robert Cohen for wearing a jacket reading 'Fuck the draft' in a courthouse.
