Playing music in public

To the young men playing music without headphones on the MARTA train last night:

I understand you are young men trying to express yourselves. You probably get some satisfaction from thumbing your nose at MARTA rules, which prohibit playing music without headphones. I noticed how you started playing the music right after the two police officers stepped off the train.

You are free to listen to whatever music you wish. In your case it was rap laced with words insulting women ("females" as these so-called artists like to call them), and using the word faggot many times. However, I take great exception to the fact that you forced me to listen to your hateful music.

If you cannot be trusted to respect other people, other people cannot be expected to refrain from throwing your cell phone/mp3 player out the window. Sphere: Related Content
