A black Michigan woman was fined $385 for talking too loudly on her phone โ€” and believes her white neighbor only called the cops on her because of her race, according to a new report.

I read the story; she was fined for being a public nuisance. The article does not state whether she was using foul language while on the phone. It is one of my pet peeves when I am in public, and people start flinging the “F” word around, especially. And if I’m in a business, and I hear an employee use such language, it really burns my bread, and I am likely to complain to the management. Language has deteriorated to the point of disgust. However, that was not mentioned in the article; only the loudness. If it was just loudness, I think it was petty for the neighbor to call police. But if there was foul language involved, I don’t blame her. But calling it racist is ridiculous

A lot of things Singapore does right. Caning is one. Also the Friday morning 7am hangings at Changi prison for drug offenses.

Yeah, it is kind of dick-ish. I’d say depending on how loud, what time of day, and how freqently I can go on a rant about one of my neighbors, but I’ll just say that sometimes when she comes home, she’s talking on the bluetooth in her car, and I can hear the person on the other end loudly enough for it to be unintelligible at 100 feet. She doesn’t do this often, and never after a certain hour.

For those who arenโ€™t from Michigan, Eastpointe is the newer โ€œclassyโ€ name for East Detroit. Even the residents in East Detroit were embarrassed to be associated with the motor city after what 65 years of liberal rule had done to it.

All Iโ€™ll say isโ€ฆ Donโ€™t drive through Eastpointe with your doors unlocked.

“A black Michigan woman . . . and . . . her white neighbor”

So very tired of all of this crap.

Should have moved a long time ago.

Hopefully there wouldn’t be anyone around to call the cops; artfully though, just clear your throat two or three times and hang up.

Such an alien concept to most Southerners.

Oh sure. We’ve all had the encounters with the too loud on the cellphone people, including neighbors. Although my personal favorite was the co-ed discussing the results of her VD test in the grocery store loud enough to hear 3 aisles away. But I wouldn’t call the cops on any of them. I remember a time when society just went ahead and handled that kind of thing through shunning and ridicule.

—”Talking loud is now a crime?

In a library?

How about behind you in a theater, and you had to get the tickets from a scalper$$$?

A quiet instrumental in a small venue?

And particularly my early train.
The afternoon train tends to have more background noise.
And the Friday ride is even more so.

CANE THEM!

I could never go there, I would be fined just for having normal conversation, hell,a few drinks and I would be arrested for talking too loud

It is always, to hear them tell it, because of their race. If they are constipated, it is because of their race. If they have diarrhea, it is because of their race. If they stub their toe, it is because of their race. If they get sleepy, it is because of their race. If they have hemorrhoids, it is because of their race. Just about everything that happens to them is because of their race.

Wow - youโ€™re a piece of work! You think your neighbors should speak so loudly that youโ€™re disturbed in your own home?

Cell phone jammers a felony? Why? Enjoy putting people in prison for a year or so for doing things you donโ€™t like?
