Colorado Judge Punishes Noise Ordinance Violators By Listening to Barry Manilow and Barney songs

Posted in: Crime,Fun,Judicial

Sometimes judges get it completely right … Kudos to Judge Paul Sacco.Barney

Here is a rather unconventional punishment for those that violated the noise ordinance in Fort Lupton, CO dreamed up by Judge Paul Sacco. Talk about the punishment fitting the crime. Brilliant! Making boomcar offenders have to listen to Barney continuously, cranked up at high audio levels. Simply brilliant! They may want to try this with Islamofascist terrorists as well to get them to talk.

The judge sentenced the noise ordinance violators to one hour of listening to songs by Barry Manilow, Barney and Dolly Parton. Honestly, this is pure brilliance on the part of Judge Sacco as he stated, “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, its horrible punishment.”

Violaters of the city of Fort Lupton’s noise ordinance were in for a big surprise this past Friday. The city’s judge sentenced citizens who have been busted for being too loud to 1 hour of listening to unpopular or unusual music.

In a courtroom with mostly young adult offenders, Dolly Parton’s “I Will Always Love You” played loudly on a boombox.

During the full hour of punishment, they were not allowed to chew gum, eat, drink, read or even sleep.

Most violators found the first few minutes funny. As time wore on with Karen Carpenter, Barry Manilow and Barney songs, they weren’t laughing anymore. (CBS4 Denver)
