The Christmas horror begins
From rss feed bpdnews:
WAY TOO EARLY FOR CHRISTMAS MUSIC & FOR SOME NEIGHBORS IN SOUTHIE IT WAS ALSO WAY TOO LATE
At about 4:04 am, on Saturday, November 8, 2008, officers from Area C-6 (South Boston) responded to a radio call for loud music in the area of 5 Shepton Terrace. On arrival, officers spoke to several residents who stated that one of the tenants was playing his music much too loud. As officers approached the location in question, officers could hear Christmas music being played at an unnecessarily loud level. When the tenant answered the door, officers instructed him to lower the music due to calls made to 9-1-1. Officers further advised the tenant that people were having difficulty sleeping due the loud Christmas music. With the music turned down, officers left the location. However, a short time later, officers were called back to the same address for the same reason (noise complaint). Upon arrival, officers were able to hear the loud Christmas music. When officers knocked on the door, the tenant answered the door and began swearing at the officers.
Officers arrested Kevin Foley, 54, of South Boston and charged him with Disturbing the Peace.

Personally, I believe playing xmas music at any volume, at any time is criminal, but I know that opinion won't make me very popular.
EDITED TO ADD: CHRISTIAN MONKS BRAWL IN SHRINE
How guilty should I feel over how funny I think this is? If it makes any difference "sad funny" is one of my favorite kinds of funny.

Not at all. The humor of it depends on the stereotype that Christian monks are peaceful folks who don't do this sort of thing. The fact that you found it funny probably means you generally have a higher opinion of them than they deserve.
