I would urge caution when you excercise your constitutional right of freedom of speech and flip somebody off. Years ago, I worked in the shipyards with a guy who talked (bragged) about the time he was driving and honked his horn at a teenage girl who was jay-walking. She flipped him off and went into a covenience store. He whipped a U-turn and waited for her. When she came out, he punched her lights out and then smashed her face into the brickwork of the building six times. Broke her nose, her jaw, and several teeth. He was arrested and did two years in the state peneteniary. But that was OK with him. He made sure that she wouldn't flip anyone off ever again.

The point is this: don't screw around with anyone you don't know.
