Nobody should be taken to court just for shouting a word. If a racial insult were deliberately used repeatedly and directed against a single individual or a family, it might qualify as harassment, and that would be a crime, but just shouting the word "nigger" in public? That's not a crime. No one is being targeted or harassed. Even if he shouted it directly at a nigger, it still isn't a crime, it's a form of expression known as an insult. Insults are not crimes. We are allowed to insult people who piss us off, and they are allowed to insult us back.
