St. Louis-area town considers proposal that would ban swearing in bars

ST. CHARLES, Mo. - What the ...? A St. Louis-area town is considering a bill that would ban swearing in bars, along with table-dancing, drinking contests and profane music.

City officials contend the bill is needed to keep rowdy crowds under control because the historic downtown area gets a little too lively on some nights.

City Councilman Richard Veit said he was prompted to propose the bill after complaints about bad bar behavior. He says it will give police some rules to enforce when things get too rowdy.

Funny you mention that. Notice STL is pretty much as far away from any of the Ranger Bn's that one could get.

This would be a clear violation of my First Amendment Rights. If I had nothing better to do than sue STL, then it would be rather amusing to pursue a penalty, but I'm sure they'll recognize that before some of the lawmakers get too stupid over there.

I know but I live only 45 minutes from there. I love this area. You know places like St. Charles and such.

I like how they want to waste police resources to do the job of the bar bouncer/manager.
