Offenders forced to listen to Barry Manilow.

To further prove my claim that we are headed for a police state here in North America comes this piece from the States.

A COLORADO judge has sentenced people busted for noise pollution (rap music) to one hour of listening to unpopular or unusual music.

Mostly young adult offenders were kept in a room and made to listen to Dolly Parton, Karen Carpenter and Barry Manilow with the volume up loud. Offenders, who were not allowed to eat, drink, read or sleep, found the punishment funny at first. But then the boredom set in. "At about 20 minutes into it, I was trying not to fall a sleep," offender Luis Cano said.

Judge Paul Sacco, who carries out the punishment about four times per year, said the sentenced fit the crime. "When you have a person playing rap at extreme volumes all over the city, and they have to sit down and listen for an hour to Barry Manilow, it's horrible punishment," he said.
