Good news for people who like to send a message using their middle finger!

A judge in Canada just made a landmark ruling on a harassment case, where a neighbor gave another neighbor THE FINGER. The judge ruled in favor of the person that shot the bird and said that it is not a crime to give some the finger.  He also added that giving someone the middle finger is a “God-given” right . . . and threw out the case.

He added that it isn’t a polite or gentlemanly gesture, but it is definitely NOT a criminal issue. The judge also felt that the complainant was attempting to weaponize the legal system to get revenge.

The whole case stemmed from an altercation between two neighbors that have a history of altercations.  This one is particular involved one of the neighbors holding some power tools in a way the other felt was menacing.  So instead of driving the conflict further the other neighbor shot the power tool wielding neighbor the double middle finger.

10 Fictional Places from TV and Movies We Wish We Could Visit

• Wakanda

  Share

  There are many wondrous settings in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but perhaps the most stunning of them all is the Kingdom of Wakanda. It truly is an unbelievable nation, from its economy to its educational system. If only Wakanda were real...

• Monstropolis

  Share

  The whimsical Monstropolis is the setting of 'Monsters, Inc." Truth be told, one of the big reasons to visit Monstropolis is to dine at Harryhausen's, if only because it's SO exclusive!

• Themyscira/Paradise Island

  Share

  Who wouldn't want to visit the home of Wonder Woman?! Those Amazons are amazing!
• Radiator Springs

  Share

  Radiator Springs may be off the beaten path of Route 66, but their hospitality is second to none.

• Dillon, Texas

  Share

  Sure, there's plenty of drama in Dillon, but taking in a Friday night football game would be an incredible experience. At the end of the day, the mood could be summed up in two words: Texas forever.

• Gilligan’s Island

  Share

  Seemingly filled with unlimited resources (or at least supplies to make coconut cream pies), Gilligan's Island would be a blast to visit, particularly in the Minnow's crew and passengers were still there.
• Stars Hollow, CT

  Share

  All of the town festivals! All of the town characters! A visit to Stars Hollow would be amazing for people-watching alone. Of course, a meal at Luke's Diner or Al's Pancake World would be a must.

• Springfield

  Share

  Wherever Springfield is in the United States, it's definitely worth a visit. From Krustylu Studios to Moe's Tavern, there's something in Springfield for everyone.

• Pawnee, IN

  Share

  Pawnee is seemingly the biggest-little town in Indiana. They have nightlife (Snakehole Lounge, Cozy's Bar), they have plenty of restaurants (JJ's Diner, Tom's Bistro), they have...well...beautiful parks! Oh, and they have some of the best government workers ever, Jeremy Jamm excluded.
• Emerald City

  Share

  Emerald City is certainly magical, but the journey along the yellow brick road is half the experience.
