Saying the words "fuck you" doesn't hurt anyone.
Imagine you applied the same logic to the internet. It's fucking ridiculous and it goes against the U.S. Constitution.

The case will stand. As far as I know this is the law in every city (city ordinance), county (county ordinance), state (state law). Free speech does not allow an individual to disturb the peace...profanity...or combative speech is not acceptable speech.
Speech has been regulated to some extent since the time the ink dryed on the writings of the constitution...and this is as it should be.
