If by foul mouthed weaklings, you mean people who persistently verbally assault you, they are not protected: they can be charged with harassment.

If by foul mouthed weaklings, you mean people who are loud and disruptive in public, they are not protected: they can be charged with causing a public disturbance.

If by foul mouthed weaklings, you mean people whom you happen to find annoying, then yes, they are protected and rightfully so.
Indeed, that is the best way of doing things when applicable, but doing any of these things will occasionally make people (including law enforcement officials) think you are weak or foolish. Moreover, it can be difficult to prove you actually have a case. The "foul mouthed weakling" can just contradict whatever you say.


A moral being is an entity for whom the disadvantage of others is an issue.
