Kinda. Fighting words have been so narrowed as to be functionally meaningless. Cohen v Californa (I think?) basically said “emotions alone aren’t enough.”

Practically, fighting words have to rise to the level of being reasonably interpreted as an imminent threat to get outside of First Amendment protection.

In this case, sounds like the assholes yelled their slurs and kept moving, so that wouldn’t justify the use of force.

Probably about exposure, but I feel like my beard keeps my face cooler. The sweat evaporation on all them little hairs makes a difference.

Feels warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

At this point, I’d settle for swatting a hall monitor with a bug zapper.

On the one hand, I love delivering electric shocks to children, but on the other hand, I really hate cops.
