Giving the finger is a ‘God-given right’, Canadian judge rules
If you look past the headline, this story is almost "basic sanity". The guy's neighbour didn't want the accused's kids playing in the street (in the suburbs) because they have a yard. To "prove" his point that it was dangerous he drove recklessly around the kids in the street.<p>The accused flipped him off and (allegedly because he denies it) threatened him.<p>Now frankly, I don't see why this would be hackernews-worthy, but it's still a basic triumph of common sense. If I had kids and they want to draw in chalk in a slow suburbs street, having a nosy neighbour calling the police after speeding next to them to illustrate his point would likely make my blood boil.
