I mostly come to the same conclusion you do but for different reasons.
While the owner has the right to impose whatever restrictions or
requirements he wishes on visitors to his property, many restrictions
(such as against cursing, styles of dress, and etc.) are not justifiable
on public property.
So the law against cursing in public should be struck down. (1)
This feller should have been prosecuted under threatening behaviour and
public nuisance restrictions
1 - an example of my general tendency to want to get rid of specific
prohibitions and use the common law which usually can do a fine job of
taking care of the ill that the specific prohibition is trying to
address
