Guns shoots. It's a "cultural" thing.
Why attack God? He may be as miserable as we are.

"I'd turn on the AC or get some earplugs."
"just the regular sounds of the neighborhood."
"I think it is wrong headed to say that it is "common courtesy" or "common knowledge" that one is supposed to be quiet after 10 p.m."
"You are talking about a neighborhood where it is—like it or not—part of the pre-existing culture"
man, this thread is rife with unthinking gems.
the whiff of a "it-is-what-it-is" attitude is lazy approaching counter-productive.
we don't need a nanny-state but c'mon now people, we can do better than this…particularly in light of the shooting last night.

Some of you people have some nerve. You moved into these neighborhoods because you couldnt afford the rent where you were comfortable and want to complain about people who host parties on the weekend? C'mon. Some people might think "Who the hell do they think they are?" I agree that during the week and on Sundays loud music late into the morning is highly inconsiderate and deserves calling in the police to intervene, but to complain everytime music is loud? C'mon. I am a Dj from Brooklyn and I do play for a lot of private events for middle class, hard working people that party till the sun comes up, be it in thier apt or backyard. Someone stated that they were waiting for someone to play the race/culture card ... my friend ... IT IS PART OF THE RACE/CULTURE. I had a gig in Flatbush last year for a guy who hosts a party every year. He went all over the neighborhood and advised his neighbors of this party .. and welcomed them to come by .. eat drink and meet the rest of thier neighbors. Some new neighbors were very rude and told him as long as its done at 12am we have no problem. He advised them that the party will go on till 4am. Then they said we will call the police and slammed the door in his face. The police came around 1am and told the gentlemen throwing the party that his neighbors were complaining but they advised them that this was an annual thing for the community and they will ask us to lower the music and end it @ 4am. I did lower the system but apparently that wasnt enough for our new neighbors. They threw a glass bottle into the backyard filled with people and almost hit a woman, barely missing her head. I saw the whole act and called the police. The neighbors denied it. I dont need to continue the story any further. My bottom line is, do not come into our neighborhood and think that you can deprive people of what they like to do. They work as hard as you do... and you will eventually find yourself in trouble. Believe me. If you do not like it ... move ... and that was not a joke. People are talking in the community and they are not happy.

I think the Irish and the Jews that lived here 40 years ago would say the same thing.
"Our Neighborhood!"
How one dimensional.
