While everyone is shooting off their mouths over the comments made by Nizam Mohammed, the 'haters' in our society continue to mockthe law with no respect for peoples' rights to enjoy a peaceful existence.
These people continue to drive around in their vehicles with their tasteless, booming music blasting to the high heavens, happy like pappy, with no concern for others' ear drums and not even their own. They do it at any time of day, and it's ten times worse at nights.These insecure idiots do it with arrogant looks on their faces as if to say "do me something nah!"
Then there are the ones with their stentorian engines intended to shatter peoples' nerves, upset heart rhythms, destroy brain cells and alpha brain waves, including their own. They too have that mean, rude boy, cruel, obnoxious look on their faces. Both, strident music and deafening engines are against the laws of the land and against the laws of nature, but they know they can get away with it because there is never anyone around with authority to stop them and charge them.
And even if there are police around, they don't seem to care either, and do nothing, allowing the culprits to go unscathed. Sometime ago I read a letter in the press where it was suggested that a hotline be established for citizens to call in to report these noisy vehicles and their lawless drivers, but it seems no one in authority has taken on this suggestion. So, who really cares, I wonder? Mr Mohammed is crucified for speaking his mind in a supposedly free, democratic society, but these noise makers , these breakers of the sound barrier continue to get away with "murder" as they drive defiantly across the nation day and night with their evil noise!
