The Importance of Grammar
Think double negatives aren't no big deal? Think again. In this case, a UK man was acquitted of violating a restraining order because it "prohibited" him from "not doing certain things" like throwing rocks at his neighbors house. So if you're prohibited from not throwing rocks, well, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.
These charges were dismissed, and the restraining order rewritten, correctly this time.
