Some yahoo blocked the entire intersection during this guy's green light. He gave 'em the finger. The extended finger was observed by police and the man attached to the finger was promptly issued a citation. The yahoo driver went free.
Have we really reached the point in Nanny State history when the government tells you that you aren't allowed to extend your finger in anger? Is raising your voice still allowed? What about honking your horn? What about telling the other driver to die in a fire?
I'm issuing this a great big thumbs down on this situation, this law, this senseless enforcer. Are thumbs pointing down in anger still legal?
Man cited for "flipping the bird" at another driver

Pogue tells NewsChannel 5 it was a busy Saturday and he was sitting at a light on Manchester, heading west at Holloway. That's when Pogue says another driver ventured into an already jammed intersection as the light was turning red, blocking his way, and voiding his green light.
"The driver of the van and I made contact. I was driving west and the arm was there and like I said, not proud, showed my displeasure in them blocking the intersection," said Pogue.
Just a few blocks later, Pogue was pulled over by Ballwin police and given a citation.
