Noise Polluters Sentenced To Listen To Barry Manilow

Posted by samzenpus on from the he-writes-the-songs-that-make-the-neighborhood-quiet dept.

A Colorado judge has come up with a way to ensure noise polluters learn their lesson. He forces them to listen to Barry Manilow. Four times a year, Judge Paul Sacco forces noise ordinance violators to sit in a room and listen to one hour of hits from Barry Manilow and Barney, the purple dinosaur. "These people should have to listen to music they don't like," Mr Sacco said.

  1. The judge has no regard for the taxpayers. by razerr · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    This sentence is a reflection of a judicial system out of control. We have no room for this nonsense in today's environment. Taxpayer dollars put to waste, as well as the time of those serving this sentence. Somebody should question the sanity of such a judge. Even the most simple minded (myself), could come up with a better sentence. Community service to help deaf persons or any number of other things that would not be a complete waste, as apparently this judge is.
