Quebec Judge Says Flipping Someone The Bird Is A “God-Given Right”: A 45-year-old teacher in Quebec was arrested after he extended two middle fingers at a neighbor that threatened him while holding a power tool “in a menacing way,’ according to the judge. Judge Dennis Galiatsatos found the bird-flipper not guilty and said it was “bewildering” that he had been arrested at all. “Flipping the proverbial bird is a God-given, Charter-enshrined right that belongs to every red-blooded Canadian.” Prosecutors say they don’t agree with everything the judge said, but won’t appeal the verdict.
