Should people who blast their music in public places be kicked in the genitals?

I say yes. Put them into stocks


I was working this morning, minding my own business, when the awful sound of stank booty, window rattling bass shattered the relative peace. And this was not even the better side of 8.
I expected it to be some hooptie, rolling through with their cacophony, bringing misery like some sort of bizarro ice cream van.

But this noise did not relent. It got louder. It persisted. Then it stopped. Then another "song" came on, and I decided to located the offending source.

Right now, you probably have an image in your head. A "usual suspect", as did I.

I was wrong. No, this illegally parked offender was far worse.


A cracker. A vile, vibrating honkey. A peace-shattering peckerwood. Mr. tasteless-in-a-Tesla sat there, windows down, like a common street thug. Jibber-jawing away while patrons walked by and shook their heads in disgust.

What drives people to do this? To needlessly annoy and harass people with their (almost always awful) choices of music? It's as if they do it to be intentionally antagonistic to the world at large.

It should be legal to smack them in the head with a shovel.


Why do people think this stuff is acceptable?

What should we be able to do about these menaces?
