"she was ticketed for calling her neighbor's African-American children "monkeys." "

"ticketed"?! WTF?

“Ramirez Sliwinski, who is Hispanic, was issued a citation alleging that she violated a village ordinance prohibiting disorderly conduct. The ordinance bans conduct that disturbs or alarms people, and one of the boys told police he was scared by Ramirez Sliwinski’s comment, Police Cmdr. Michael Kilbourne said.”

The citation carries a fine of $75.”

WTF was the ticket for? This a-hole cop ever hear of Freedom of Speech? Note: I call my tree climbing grandchildren monkeys from time to time.

Ticketed is not so bad. You may just “disappear” for such a verbal offense in the not so distant future.
