Did they light off fireworks at midnight, I wonder.

Paul wrote about Karen’s when he talked about young widows.

I don’t see a real problem with the lady asking them to turn down their noise. Maybe she should have waited till midnight, but she was very polite.

Hey Karen, you voted to allow them to walk across the border.

Go Brandon yourself with a wire-brush.

A friend lives in a neighborhood with a lot of Yemenis. His neighbors will regularly blast Arab “pop music” until 3 AM in their backyards while BBQing a goat.

I like many things about the hispanic culture. I have several such neighbors right now. However, it is often the truth that
A. The majority of them like their music quite loud, at least for a few ‘favorite’ songs.
B. Something surprising: Many hispanic families do not show the same ‘reverence for the night’ that most black and white families do. What do I mean?
I mean instead of becoming quieter when outside at night, some can have the exact same volume at 2AM that they would have at 2PM in the afternoon. I hear it in their children too, and the children are usually not shushed.

I have learned to deal with it, for the most part. The night noise usually doesn’t last that long.

This Lady should not have invited herself inside, but I’m just guessing, she had already tried knocking on the front door, but her knocks were drowned out by the lively music.
Instead of uniting in booting the ‘bothersome lady’ out of their presence, the family should have simply turned the music down. That’s all she wanted.

I’m with Karen on this.

People are so rude.

Loving your neighbor is probably the hardest commandment to obey.

I am of the opinion that this whole thing is overblown.

Neighbor does not like the noise, so she goes over and asks them to quit down - normal.

Neighbor gets asked to leave. Neighbor leaves - normal

Some people get their feelings hurt - normal

No punches were thrown, not gun shots, not injuries or arrests. Back to the old saying “No blood, no foul”.

Well, in the summer my neighbor literally has a 3 day and night party celebrate some event in his family. I didn’t ask what it was.

Live bands playing all night long was an indication it was something huge in their lives but honestly he had them playing in the garage with the door open right below my bedroom.

Shook my entire house when they were playing.

I knew it was important and just handed out ear plugs to my family members.

I was enjoying the thought of other neighbor Karen’s loosing their minds.

The older woman obviously was new area and did not understand Chicago ways. Normally, Chicagoans just roam into noisy parties, gun down 14 or so, and run out with the panicked herd.

I watched the video. I didn’t hear any music.

Gray-haired intruder looked like a less-enemic Elizabeth Warren.

They were pretty low key about her trespassing and watch pointing rudeness. I can think of some other neighbors who would have welcomed her with a punch in the back of the head, and kicks to the same head when she went down.

Gray haired lady? She could be i n the beginning stages of dementia- older folks with dementia can get combative and confrontational-

The neighbor lady just wanted some attention. If they had invited her in for a drink she would have accepted in a heart beat.
