Abusive Language, Manufacture/Delivery and Aggravated Assault Among Monday Crimes

By Chelsea Reinhard, Jun 3, 2014

Twenty-seven in and 27 out: the Tom Green County Jail population remained stable on Monday, seeing an equal number of bookings and releases.

Theft lead the bookings, with three inmates charged with varying degrees of the crime, followed by two inmates charged with assault and two booked on marijuana charges.

One individual was booked on two counts of credit card/debit card abuse and a second individual was booked on two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon from Monday's Grape Creek shootings.

In addition, there was one DWI, one manufacture/delivery of a controlled substance and one possession charge on the bookings reports, as well as one individual booked for abusive language. Another man was indicted by a grand jury for sexual assault of a child.

What is considered abusive language? I know a lot of people that probably could be charged with that depending on the severity of it.

I'm not at all sure what constitutes "abusive language", but maybe it should encompass linguistic atrocities like beginning sentences/statements with "So" or ending them with "just saying". It's nothing short of poetic justice when this is mentioned to an OFFENDER who then informs you that they "COULD care less". An equally offensive form of abusive language is the current trend of young women who speak in "vocal fry tones" (the creaky, vibrato tone of speech which is often employed at the end of their sentences). If you've adopted this annoying manner of speech, it doesn't make you sound sexy or interesting, rather hopelessly lowbrow and shallow.
