Yes. And also on the road at stop lights. And it is often music I don’t really like. Sometimes it’s music I do like.
And yes, within limits, I think people have a right to turn up their music as much as they want. There are probably noise ordinances, and you can always call the cops to have them check if someone is violating the noise ordinance for the time and place. I doubt there are too many people who know what the actual legal decibel level is, or could tell if someone was violating that limit.
And who cares, really? You are at the pump for 5 minutes, and unless the music is so loud your ears are bleeding, it is just one of those things. The world does not exist to make me happy. Sometimes other people get to be happy.
I think it’s more than that. I think there’s an attitude of playing the music that loud. I think there are some that are doing just to see if anyone will say anything. Again, this goes back to the “respect” issue in many of today’s urban yuts.
I carry a loaded weapon to deal with fate if it comes for me, leaving me no real choice, as happened to George Zimmerman. Dunn, OTOH, chose to carry it to confront fate, did so, and ruined his whole life. Having to listen to a few minutes of vile rap “music” is a small price to pay for being able to live the rest of one’s life in freedom.
The Dunn and Zimmerman cases make a stark contrast between probable second degree murder and legitimate self defense and ought to be taught in all CCW classes. Looks to me like the juries got it right in both cases, first degree murder being a bit much in the Dunn case, although he probably would have been convicted of second degree if Corey hadn’t over charged.
