You are so pathetically narcissistic that you can’t see how your own bad behavior hurts others and you don’t care. You don’t have any more right to invade another’s residence with loud music than you do to break and enter. Grow up. It only takes one bad apple…
The last time I lived somewhere with neighbors, noise was only prohibited during specific hours (10pm-9am IIRC).
A friend/neighbor had the cops called on him for playing music too loud at 10:15 one night. He honestly didn’t realize it was that late. He reacted with hostility over being turned in to the cops. For weeks after the situation, he’d play music as loud as his sound system could deliver from 8 pm until 9:59 pm.
I moved away before the situation came to a head.
Well it depends. What kind of music are they playing?

Another prophet steps forth. Again, I thought we were discussing the neighbors in the OP, not my purported misdeeds, but if it makes you feel good, preach it brother!
I think you might be confusing me with another poster, Jeremiah.
Crimes are committed by 20ish year old males. If he had any sense, he had reason to be concerned.
Woooooah…does that mean I actually have some street cred?
Because I thought I had exactly zero street cred, being a pasty-white middle-aged JAP from Long Island who lives in a rich white town in central Jersey and has never been in a physical fight in my life.
But I do really love Public Enemy and I feel they are best enjoyed at a generous level of volume. Nice to know that somebody out there thinks there is a possibility that I am a badass.
(It Takes A Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back turns 30 later this month. After all this time, the line “soul on a roll but you treat it like soap on a rope” still holds. Dayum.)
You know, it would have been interesting if the WaPo had located the neighbors who made the noise complaint (pretty easily done) and asked them to write their story of the incident. Or even obtained a copy of the police officer’s report of the interaction. Would have been a much more informative story.
Given how much the media tends toward giving ‘equal voice to all sides’ nowadays, I’d think they could have done something like that.
Well, if it was Rush, I might understand.
In the many years I’ve lived in a normally quiet neighborhood in a Midwestern town I’ve called in a lot of noise complaints. I’ve never given any thought to who was making the noise and would never hesitate to complain in the future because the city noise ordinance says I have that right. Most times I don’t even know who is making all the noise-I leave it to the officers who respond to find and admonish or cite them. This lady sounds as if she overreacted. Having an officer ask for your ID is perhaps a bit nerve-wracking but not that big of a deal. She was simply asked to be less noisy in the future.
It was an opinion piece.
